@ kman
The setup runs just fine. I had short shots before. In fact I had taken it to the dealer to get it remapped and the mech rode it and said I dont need a remap. It runs fine. I didn't know about cones either, but I was told if you have no baffles you should get cones to create some back pressure. So I put them on just to be safe.

Cool, thanks man I'll get cones for mine when I do get 'em. I'm carb and rejetted so I think I will be fine too and maybe just need some minor adjustment. I love that pipe you got there man looks awesome on your bike, but cause I'm running mids I'll have to choose a different set but they still got some good choices for me. Thanks again.

@ kman
I didn't know he had options for mids. I'd double check before purchase. I had bought mine before I figured it out and had the forwards put on while I waited.

Which path did you take, the Screaming Eagle or NRHS type of kit?
Also, did you upgrade your cams?

I'm about to take the plunge on this and am just fishing for info.
