Since this is a modified stock pipe can it be run with the stock ECM and air filter? Or should it be run with the race kit parts?

Thanks,
Schmitty

Really? I got a spec op pipe too. I know that running the spec op pipe alows for more air flow. Leaning the motor a LITTLE (no much) but more towards the leaner end of the ECM Air Fuel mixture parameters. A K&N filter will allow even more air. Moving it even more towards the leaner side. I have heard that these 2 combined with a stock ECM is too lean for the motor. This has always steered me away from adding a K&N to my set up. I am only speaking from what I have heard and not what I have done. I am a little scared of running a new bike too lean because this can be far worse than it running too rich.

I don't have a race ECM and have been running Odie's pipe for over a year.
The K&N should be fine, but airbox mods will not be necessary.

Schmitty, go over to the sponsers section and ask Odie, he'll give ya an honest answer. I can't help with your question as I do run and OPS pipe with stock ecm and K@N but I've also got the tfi unit.

I've been running an Ops pipe with the stock ECM and stock Filter with airbox modifications including a snorkelectomy. The bike runs great.
The pipe is more than worth the $$$$$.
Odie is a great guy as well.

Schmitty- if you question hasn't been answered drop me an email. Sorry for the delay. House hunting/closing and mortgage companies are getting the best of me right now. Thanks, Odie.

For those of you running the Specs ops with the Stock ECM on a XB9...

Is thee a noticeable gain in low and mid? I am less concerned with top end.

Is there more popping than with the stock can? And how much more?

More of a mid gain than low to me. And yes it does pop on a hard decel, but it sounds bad-a$$.

Schmitty:
I've been running Odies pipe now for a few months.
Two weeks after the install I had the bike on the dyno at A.D. Farrow H-D in Columbus, Ohio. The dyno showed absolutely no fuel/air problems. The graph was nearly perfectly on the nominal throughout the entire RPM range. The torque/HP numbers showed 73.56 ft/lbs and 88.6 hp-torque curve nice and flat. I, too, was mildly concerned about a lean situation and I specifically questioned the dyno technician on this. His words to me "Your'e fine-don't change a thing." Odies got a good product-you won't be disappointed. I am running the stock ECM and a K-N filter-05 XB12Scg.
