Was thinking of drilling out the baffles on my stock pipes on my 2015 freewheeler. If l leave the catalytic converter alone do l have to remap the bike? Any feed back will be greatly appreciated.

Apple to oranges..:Shrug: but When i did that to my 2011 Tri-Glide all i gained was noise and lost bottom end power...IE Not enough back pressure ...I then had to add DK's thunder torques to stop the noise and gain all the bottom end back and more...Just to add noise does not equal power..

Hi Gary, forget back pressure this is a myth. Think reversion of exhaust gas. Have a read here very, good info from 1 of our sponsors [url]http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/acl/harley-exhaust-how-it-works-myths-and-facts.htm[/url]

Even if you leave your exhaust stock, your 2015 Freewheeler will benefit greatly from a richer tune. Those are very lean from the factory, and a Dealership re-map will not help much. There are some less expensive options for getting an improved tune, you can see one of them [URL="http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/fl-vied-fuel-enrichment-for-harley-efi-plug-n-play-more-details-dk-flvied-10-nr.htm"]HERE[/URL].
For an overview of tuning options, take a look at this [URL="http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/overview-of-efi-optionsxied-piggy-back-flash-tuners-dyno-ov-efi-opt.htm"]Report LINK[/URL].
Regarding your exhaust question, below are a couple of good videos-

I spent some money on my 2015 Freewheeler, as discussed in Kevin's post and recommended to me by another forum member. It was well worth the expense for the increased power, especially the quick take offs and the reduced heat that was burning my right leg.
