Do i need to remap my 2007 883 sporty if i'm replacing the exhaust?

i have a 2007 fuel injected 883 sportster, and im planning on replacing the stock exhaust with a vance and hines slip-ons...do i need to remap my bike? dealer said yes, but im not sure if that's true...they want 500.00 for the remapping...Do i need to remap my 2007 883 sporty if i'm replacing the exhaust?
the '07 bikes are already set quite lean from the factory to clear epa specs. injected bikes isnt as easy to adjust compared to carbs, they require a computer to do it. if u want to get the most out of ur bike, u should also put on a high flow air cleaner and power commander properly dialed in. it sounds like they are/were going to also put on a power commander. shop time is expensive; at warren hd, it's 60 an hour. do the job right the first time. u cant afford to let a stock bike run any leaner than it already is from the factory. engine damage can result, and that wont be covered under warrenty.
V%26amp;H slip ons will not change your fuel / air ratio very much. So, no, you will not have to remap.

This change will give you a better sound, but very no measurable performance increase.



If you also improve the intake (SE air kit), then you will need to re-map. $500 for remapping is too high. It will take less than 30 minutes to do this, so you should be charged shop-rate for that.

Find a good independent HD shop.Do i need to remap my 2007 883 sporty if i'm replacing the exhaust?
Are you also going to open up the air intake by going to a Screamin' Eagle air cleaner kit? If so, which I recommend in addition to the pipes,



(Stage .5 (also known as "The Harley Tax"): Stock plus:

SE Air Cleaner(1)

SE Slip-On Mufflers or equivalent(2)

Rejetting (DynoJet, Yost or just jets)(3) my note: re-mapping if F.I.

HP=50 for 883, 60 for factory 1200(4)



then yes, you will need to re-map since you have altered the air-fuel ratio. If you are just going with pipes(but, what's the point in that), I would wait and see how it runs without re-mapping.
you don't have to remap, but the bike will run differently with out the remap,as it is set up to run with oem pipesDo i need to remap my 2007 883 sporty if i'm replacing the exhaust?
yes you need to have it remapped, but, I'd check around. I had a set of Python slip on's put on my bike (883 custom) when I bought it in 2005, and the pipes, new air cleaner and remapping only cost $375, so if this dealer is going to charge you $500 just for the remap, you'd better find another dealer.

I just bought an 07 Street Glide, I live in Pennsylvania, and one dealer charges $275 for the 2,500 mile checkup, while another that I'm going to go to charges $130 for the same thing. It's worth checking out.
According to my local dealer you will need to remap only if using a full exhaust system and or a upgraded intake system.



Since you are doing slip-ons then you should be fine with out the remap.



Now about the prize for the remap its about right. You are probably getting a dinojet or power commander thats about $300 plus about $200 for the installation. I was quote this same prize about a week ago at my local dealer.



Check the link below and see the cobra digital fuel processor that they make for your bike. With this one there is no need for a pc or anything like that. You can probably find it for about $200 on the web and you can fine tune it yourself in no time (its very simple). Some H-Ds come already with it so try to find out if yours has it.
