if it were me, i would do the headpipe change and baffles at the same time. yes, you need to tune but you can ride it as long as you don't get out of the closed loop 2k-4k RPM, but I would be ready to tune at the first chance. I would suggest using TTS mastertune
I doubt the dealer will do the mod now since you have taken delivery, but you might ask. if you are not mechanically inclined then do you have strong computer skills, if so, then you can do the mastertune yourself

.....
5) Finally, is there a way to read this thread as a single web page, so I could print it out for future reference? I guess once there are so many replies the "ALL" option disappears, and I do understand the reason being it would take a long time to load. But it sure would be great!

Unfortunately not for the reason(s) you stated.

You just have to tune when you do not want to loose power , or when you want to have more ( possible with these pipe and muffler mods because you will have a better emission-flow ) , but you will loose power without tuning because these mods robbs the backpressure for this lean stock AFR-tuning .

If you have  portable computer, can plug in a USB device and connect a cable to your motorcycle and then follow basic instructions in step-by-step format, you can do this without screwing it up!  There is plenty of help here on this board.  Look in the Intake/Exhaust/ECM board and you'll see what I mean.  If you have a repair manual and a decent set of tools, the headpipe and baffle replacement is pretty simple as well.  If you do it yourself, you will learn something about your motorcycle in the process. Otherwise, if your dealer won't do it, I'm sure you can find an indy shop that will take care of it.

Searay, call Steve at Fullsac. Get his baffles, either 1.75 or 2" opening and ask him about the TTS mastertune. He can walk you through it pretty easily and he's really a nice guy for us dummies to talk to.

After removing the complete Cat my bike did start very bad , rode to dealer and told him then the technical master did set the "ignition-modul" ( i don`t know exactly how he named it ) back to 100 ( to let it learn again from beginning , he said ) ,Does anyone know the name of this module ?
Now i am back from a 1k miles trip from paris through the champagne and elsaß and Pfalz and normandie and and and night-paris-tour through the mad traffic of this huge town and all i can say : WOW !, the bike runs like a speedy goncalez , like a horny rabbit , great improvement in torque ( so it seems to me , no dyno-test yet in this configuration ) and it feels like the bike is a free willy now or a wild horse , REEESPECT to my technician who did this .
Now i am serious thinking about not to take the supertuner , i guess i will leave it as it is when there will be no change into a bad performance . ( No other mods , still stock mufflers ) .

Just installed headpipe 66848-09 boughten at european price from a french delaer : no valve, no cat.
plus SE pro super tuner.
I have a new bike ! more HP and torque, additional pleasure at low speed and rpm, lower temperature of back cylinder !
I was ready to sell my bike ( I had a 1550 cc fatboy anniversary with high cams et vance exhaust.. it was more entertaining than the 110 european legal), i definitively keep my SERG09.

Fantastique..!   Bonne chance and enjoy your new ride..!  Mine felt like a new bike too when the cats/pipes were gone.

I changed my head pipe with a non Cat 09 FLTR, like most head pipes there a little awkward to handle and not ding up the motor. Get someone to help hold the front pipe and flange and you will be fine. Removal of the right floor board makes it easier. Have fun and just take stuff off if it looks like its in the way. Oh, unplug the senors from the electrical plug before removing the pipe.
