I'll throw you a little conventional automotive wisdom here. Take it as you want...
The rich/lean thing is not going to change in any noticable way by simply changing the exhaust. If it did, the EFI system will adjust for it. What everyone is talking about is just the fact that you wont see maximum performance by doing just the pipes... You bought them, want them on the bike, then put them on the bike and enjoy.. When you have a bit more cash, then, the air cleaner and program will need to be done at the same time. You will be changing incoming airflow and volume, which will definitly change air fuel ratios.. Enjoy it and dont worry would be my advise..

I run short shots with no other mods as well. I will get a full stage one later as well as a good 2into1 pipe.
Nickpisp...paint that air cleaner cover black, damn it!!! It jumped out of the picture at me. Nice choice with the olive by the way.

I ran mine for a month before added high flow air intake and fuel management without any problems. I checked my plugs a couple of times too to make sure I wasnt running lean....and it wasnt. BTW I did also notice a slight performance increase. Mostly that it seemed to smooth out the power band.

reason I ask is that if your not running the bike hard and really feel a need to increase performance then don't spend the money....
you can install a K&N replacement filter and the pipes without fuel management changes...( I believe the K&N is advertised as such)

if your looking for a PCIII.. .check out fuelmotousa.com . a lot of members on here have gotten their PCIII from them, including myself, they have good prices, double the warranty, and get you a custom map. but their custom map may not be the best map for your bike. even though its the same model bike, same year, same accesories, same motor... each bike runs a bit different. a full dyno tune will get you your best performance. but that being said alot of members on here swap maps back and forth... i have 2 maps people have emailed me, havent run either, but its always good to see what others are doing.
