Personal experience, I JUST reconnected the AIS inlet tube on mine after having my TOCE full exhaust installed for a couple of months now. Check out the Hindle Megaphone Full exhaust its only $400 at STG. I hope this more than answers your question/doubt on the new exhaust. In my years the only time you absolutely need a tune is if your running a turbo/supercharger on your bike/car. Its like, do you turn your car if you put on a intake? you don't need it but you get worse mileage and the computers is always working to get the right fuel/air mixture since its not tuned. Now the thing others are wanting to type but you did say you don't care is, and I cant site any real examples, if running the bike hard all the time and no tune over time/years you most likely will have a more worn out engine than someone that did do the tune-but then again if reaching 40k miles doesn't really matter then it doesn't matter. Popped a lot which I loved, mpg was a bit lower but hey smiles per gallon, and I never had a check engine light. I used to have a akrapovic full cat less exhaust and ran just fine. What is ACTUALLY necessary? NOTING, just put in the straight pipe exhaust on. Speaking out of my own knowledge and experience since I'm not a SAE certified mechanic but am very good with modifying bikes/cars. I've tried searching google extensively and read through this forum and others, but I still need to know, is it ACTUALLY necessary to buy any of this stuff after swapping on a generic system? I don't really care about popping on decel or not claiming all the horsepower I could be with a full tune. I also hear about a PCV mod, which I know nothing about. Some people say to install a block off plate but I don't want to have the ECU reflashed to remove the check engine light, so I will not be interested in that either. The hp isn't what I am after, it's the better sound. I know a lot of people push the power commander thing, but I'm not spending 350$ for maybe 3 hp. I was looking into cheap full systems to open up the noise again. I replaced it with all OEM equipment, oem bolts, fasteners, header/cat, and a bootleg akroprovic slip on. No tune, no emissions deletes, good MPG, etc. However, the bike ran well and didn't throw any codes. It rattled and rusted and looked terrible. They cut the CAT off the stock pipe and welded on a generic coffee can muffler. When I got my R3 it had a hack job exhaust done.
