We don't mind pics in bad weather......or in the garage.

Absolutely pretty sure most folks with a CVO SESG also have a camera and a Garage

A lot of the Nor Cal members have the Freedom exhausts.  Many run their cams, too.

Well JCZ, you were a big catalyst for me to go with this brand!! You had mentioned that their products were great quality so I figured you couldn't be wrong!

What the %&!**?  My stealer ordered the wrong pipes, so I guess I will not be picking up my bike today, damn it!!!!!!!!

So you mean no pictures today

[CVOTequila]

no.......... and I just found out that the correct pipes won't arrive until friday!!! Somtimes I think that the MoCo has some conspiracy to do this to us on purpose just to make us anxious!!!  I have been without my bike for 2 days now, and I already miss seeing it in my garage.....but another 4days? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Wheelsnkeels]

I can feel your pain. snow on the ground and the warmest day in the 10 day forecast is 34 Degrees

I'm going to go crazy waiting to ride it!

[WestCoastRuss]

44 degrees outside and cracked the 1,100 mile mark the pipes are AWESOME !!!

Sure do like the look of those manly sized pipes.  Did you do much tuning after you put those on when you still had the factory headers and CAT?

[Wheelsnkeels]

Here is the video with the Vance & Hines Power Duals Head pipes installed. No tuning IMO this is an exhaust only mod so didnt feel it was needed. Probably could tweek a little out of it but didnt feel the need.

I do plan on using the SEST and changing the Cams in the spring

You're still running the stock download in the ECM after getting rid of the CAT and the restrictive mufflers?    I would think that your bike is running even more lean than the 14.7 AFR that it came from the factory at now that it's got a free-flowing intake and exhaust system on it.   IMO, you should get it tuned, if anything to bring that AFR down.

Common thought but the mixture on o2 controlled bikes is adjusted by the ECM to the signal from the sensors. It corrects for the mods and adjusts back to 14.7 in closed loop and its rich anyway in open loop.

Pre 2007 bike possibly need intervention but changes to filters and pipe do not require.

Now cams and head mods will likely exceed the ECM capability to adjust.

W&S...Great article!!!   I think I will add a tune after more engine mods.

Interesting, but all they talk about at the beginning of the article is no re-mapping required if you just change the mufflers...nothing about changing the headers.  Also going down the article more, it even points out that the Stage 1 re-map provides and even better increase in torque and horsepower over leaving the ECM at the factory settings.   Kind of a mixed message in that article.  I'll stay with remapping my ECM when I change everything out.  I've already lowered the AFR on my bike to around 13.9.  So I may be wasting some money (according to Nightrider), but I'll feel better about it.  JMO.
