depending on what direction your going, youll need a tune or load a map that has similar mods (but not as good as your own tune)...

If ya don't know what to do leave it off, or get it tuned by somebody that knowns what the heck is going on, and I don't mean the know it all idiot at the local bike night.

Would it hurt the bike if I drive it with the mid pipes ,because it sounds sooo mean ,just don't want to hurt it,I see a lot of guys running with short pipes that is the same as what I am doing but mine looks a little weird because of the flanges at the end.

doubtful its going to hurt anything, probably performance a little bit.  i dont think you will really pick up much of anything if at all with taking stock cans off.

Go get yourself some slip-ons or a full exhaust system and then take it to a tuner!

+1 slip-ons or a full exhaust will sound/look so much better than open mid pipes. :thumb:

I worked on the exhaust last Friday ,Ron Bishop from Florida gave me a set of cans without the baffles ,the sound was not what I wanted so I removed the end caps and took off the pipe that goes half in half out and made the hole about 2.5" , put the end caps back on now the sound is great ,I say about the same as the brocks loud mouth ,the question now is what map do I load?
Thanks.

For that setup you are close enough to stock, you do not need a power commander or a tune, the stock fueling will be safe.
I logged the A/F on my '08 with slip ons and stock head pipes and it was safe.
You wouldn't even gain enough power to warrant a tune.
Stop worrying, leave the PC off and ride it. :thumb:
