Adding a slip-on...do I need a Power Commander?
I've got an '08 CBR1000RR (contrary to my username lol) and I'm about to order the Two Brothers slip-on. I've heard that just a slip-on will require adding a Power Commander but I can't imagine it affects air/fuel that much. Anyone know if it's really needed? Thanks in advance!

ypu will see a gain in power with a PCIII but you would also see a gain with the stock exhaust and a PCIII.
You dont have t get one, but if you wanted to get one it wouldnt hurt.
All depends on what your looking for Verses the cash your willing to throw at it.
Personally i recon the bike has enoug power for 95% ofpeople out there (me included) but eveyone likes a great soundng exhaust

as for the PC as stated not required but you get to maximize the bike with or with out a pipe with a custom map.

yep as all stated above. Except I disagree about the power commander not doing anything fora stock bike. If you just download a map, then yes, it will only clean up the throttle response a bit. But, if you do an actual dyno tune on a stock bike with a power commander, you can see pretty amazing results. I've seen as much as 8 hp throughout the rpm range and a 6 hp gain on top end with an otherwisestock R6. You can also really clean the power curve for better drivability.

No it is not "needed", it will run just fine without. Slip on's alone are mostly for sound not performance, although it will breathe a bit better then stock.
