So i purchased a 2005 roadglide with DFT Smoothie kit. Beautiful bike but;

Its hard to steer in a fast sweeper, and

It's very loud.

Can I just purchase a set of someones take off mufflers and swap them out? (See photos)

The motor is an 88 with a screaming eagle stage II. If I swap, will I need to remap EFI? I have the EFI tuner and the cd that came with it. Can I do the remap with the software and device, or does it require a dyno?

Any advice would be appreciated.

DK's Thunder Torques will solve the noise problem.... 15/20 minute install ThumbUp...
 
Probably needs a rake kit installed to help that steering. Contact Papa Zook see his ad main page at bottom CUT-N-SHOOT Customs. He will sell you a rake at a great price.

+1 on the DK torque lolly pops for the mufflers. It will quite it up some and increase the low end torque because of the return of the back pressure.
