Remap My EFI After New Exhaust?

Question

Do I remap my EFI after new Exhaust?

Via Email

Answer From Our Friends at DynoJet:

One big question is about re-mapping after changing the exhaust. Some say do it, other’s say it’s not necessary. More does than do not. Do I need to remap if I change aftermarket exhaust for another aftermarket exhaust? The work has been done.

Why do it again?

To get the most performance out of your bike remapping the fuel injection is a must. With just a setup of pipes installed, it is not imperative to remap the fuel curve as it will not run lean enough to cause any damage. If you were to purchase an exhaust that is similar in size, shape, volume, and design then remapping the fuel injection may not be necessary. But if you go from a set of slip-ons to a 2:1 full system remapping will be necessary.
