Another thing. I've had the gutted exhaust on my bike for about a year and 10,000 miles worth of riding. This did not seem to effect my bike in a negative way and still got 50mpg on freeway cruising. I do not have a special map or pcIII. My bike is bone stock with the exhuast.

So I was filling up at my neighborhood gas stn when a guy in a pick up truck pulled up beside me and asked what kind of bike I had. So I proceed to tell him, then he said "I never seen one of them before....is it a 1200?" Of course I tell him it's an 800. His eyes widened with disbelief...he said he had been following me for a couple of km and from the sound of my bike's exhaust he assumed that it was a t least a 1200. Then he made the ultimate goof comment, he said "it sounds like a freakin Harley!"
