I just bought a used 2015 Road Glide Ultra CVO with 12k miles that had a Screaming Eagle Super Tuner Pro in the saddlebag. I suspect that the previous owner used this to tune the motor, but I don't know if he had aftermarket mufflers on the bike. The bike as I bought it has the stock Ventilator air filter and stock CVO mufflers and runs pretty good. But I'm skeptical about what map is on the ECM. I don't really want to pay my dealer to check the tune on the bike to see if it's optimal, so I'm considering a V&H FuelPak FP3. I had one on my 2014 Ultra Limited with a full Stage 1 setup and was really impressed. So I'm wondering if the best course of action might be to buy the FP3 and install it with my stock bike configuration to ensure that the motor is tuned properly. Any ideas? V&O's website indicates that they have maps for the 2015 CVO and it seems like a good way to go, especially if new mufflers and perhaps header is in the future. Anybody have an experience like mine that would share their impressions?

I can't offer anything useful, but I was just going to say I am in the same situation. I had TWO supertuner pros in the saddlebag. I switched from the Fatshotz mufflers he had on there to V&H High Outputs and the LCD Fuelpak. The Fuelpak got rid of most decal popping and runs a little smoother, but the LCD version I have is not very flexible and not compatible with really doing a full Dyno tune. However the purchases were when I was not as educated, which I'm still working on :)
Now I'm looking into adding headers and getting a Dyno tune with either one of the tuners it came with, or one of the reputable tuner such as TTS or Powervision. I don't know if the FP3 is something that can be used with a Dyno tune and it definitely doesn't get the praise like TTS does, but I've heard great things about them and the auto-tune feature. It's definitely more flexible than the LCD version. I wish I could remember the usernames of the guys on this site that use and love them. From what I understand if you do not plan on doing a full Dyno tune, the FP3 is a great option.
Take that for what you will..... 8)

If you're in Georgia, you should contact Doc (Doc 1 on this site), who is a great tuner in Minneola, FL. People travel 100s of miles to get his tunes. I think, but not positive, he can use your SEPST to do the tune. Talk to him and verify, and that may save you a chunk of change instead of buying more boxes.

I wouldn't spend more money for a tuner with fewer features. For around $100.00 over the cost of a fuelpak you will get a better tune with the se tuner from a pro.

If you were to look at my 15 SERGU, you would think the head pipe and mufflers are stock CVO. However it has a Fullsac head pipe under the factory heat shields which eliminates the Cat and flows better. The Mufflers have had the factory baffles removed and fullsac 2.25 inch baffles installed. Then a TTS tuner tuned by Doc in FL 8)
Look at your mufflers closely, if the bike came with the tuner, the mufflers my have different baffles in them. If the baffle is bolted in it is aftermarket. Welded its most likely stock.
