I put the Kuryakyn Perfect Storm system on mine prior to taking delivery and am very happy with the performance upgrade and sound.
Protip: Want to keep your wife's ears from ringing? Wear ear plugs like we do. Even if you don't have "loud" pipes, it's simply sensible hygiene.
Of course, my wife's FatBoy with extensive engine mods is actually louder than my trike. She always just wears earplugs while riding.

There's a funny movie line from Jurrasic Park. When the guy trying to steal the dino DNA is at a secretive meeting at an outdoor cafe, he looks down at the bill when it's laid on the table, then looks up at his accomplice and says, "Don't get cheap on me Dodson..."
You just bought the most expensive (non-CVO) bike Harley makes. It's worth your while to upgrade the engine performance.

Also keep in mind my issue was only the sound issue....I love the power as it (for now), but I wanted to know if there was any harm in doing one without the other...

My 2 cents worth...
Any time you change air flow, you need to change your ECM.
I'm NOT a fan of "dealer downloads".
And it's not just for performance, it is to keep your engine running correctly. Less restriction on exhaust can cause your engine to run lean, which will shorten it's life.
30 grand on a Harley, what's another $400 to make sure it runs right?
I use a TTS, which anyone with a bit of common sense can operate and Vtune, and a FuelPak on the other bike, which is VERY simple, and ANYONE can program...
But there are a lot of guys here that will say you don't need to do anything.
It's your bike, do what you think is best.
Again, only my 2 cents worth.
