Heavy Breather Intake

[Midnight Rider80]

I am considering a SE Heavy Breather K&N type intake on an otherwise new and totally stock 09 Fatbob. I like the look and I also like the way extra room is available to my right leg by losing the standard Dyna air cleaner. My dealer had my bike and a SE Fatbob with the 110 motor and SE intake, so I could try out the seat positions. My question is this, if I switch the intake I know I need to either remap the ECU or upgrade to a PC III , so which will net me more performance? Also I have no plans to change mufflers at this time, so will I get any gain with just the HB intake? Is any other fuel management unit a better choice? SERT, Vance hines, what about the new wireless systems?
Any help or advice would be great before spending $700 or $800.
Thanks in advance. MR80

You should not have to do any flashing of your sytem if you just upgrade the intake. Your current "As Is" computer should compensate for it.

I would hold off getting any PC, Fule Pack, or other spendy downloads until you decide to OTS the stock pipes. For now save your money.

As far as what program "Product" will give you the best numbers.. "I do not Know". Depends on what you are running in combination with the SE intake. Upgrading exhaust in the future yes? You plan on any other mods?

We have folks on this site running various setups. Some claim they are great some say they suck. I guess you would need to run it on the dyno before and afterwards to get a somewhat true reading. I have not seen enough numbers or folks speaking up to say which computer flash/Download is better.

Anyone???

Thanks for the reply. I am not sure about pipes. I had VH slipons on my sporty and for me they were too loud for long rides, so I am enjoying the stock ones on my Fatbob. I guess that would be another question, which pipes breath better ,add performance w/o being obnoxious. Thanks for your help. MR80
