If you aren't mechanically inclined you will need help. BTW you will have to do the same thing if you pull out the insides of your stock exhaust to make it louder.

The other guys are suggesting a full system (AreaP). If you have people who know how to tune a bike then get a full system, but that will also require you to rejet the bike and costs significantly more money ($500+). This means, new needles, pulling the Kleen-air system, possibly removing the airbox and replacing with a pod air filter, installing a full exhaust system (headers and can) and then the fun task of tuning the bike. (I can't even begin to link all those DIY threads... it makes my head hurt).


If you don't know what you are doing or don't have someone to help, leave the bike stock. There are stories on the forums of guys having serious engine issues from improperly tuned bikes due to exhaust modifications.

I had my fiance help me with shimming the needles when I had a slip on... he wanted to destroy my bike afterwords because it was so frustrating from taking my bike half apart to stripped screws, etc. Luckily I had an amazing deal with AreaP since they borrowed my bike, in payment they put on a full system and tuned bike properly. If I didn't have either situation take place my bike would be bone stock exhaust wise.
oh wow.. okay yea thank you! that was alot of information. I appreciate it!
