i know, this question seems to have already been asked, and i've read alot of the threads, but it seems often the discussion breaks down to numbers comparing.
i was wondering, with the arlen ness big honkers, is it require to install the larger air intake, or the tuner? can the pipes just be installed onto a stock bike, with the prospect of eventually adding these (or something comparable) items in the near future. is there any chance of causing damage to the engine as a result of running just the pipes? is a re-mapping required, and if so can my dealer do it, will he have the mapping i need?
i'll appreciate any imput or direction, thanks.

I had the Honkers installed at purchase on my 08. They put the performance air filter on and did a stage one re-map that i had for awhile. Now have the Andrews cams and power commander but your dealer will have everything necessary for the Honkers.

keep in mind the air flows through the engine, if you open up one, it is best to open up all, and of course comes the remap. Just a general statement to keep as a rule of thumb, change the exhaust will need a change in intake.
