thanks koshernerd. I appreciate the help. I'm not opposed to punching holes in the pipes, especially since i am going to be replacing them soon anyways. should i do it all along them or just in the slip on section? I've also been told that I could just take the slip on stock muffler parts off. Any thoughts on that? I just don't want to do anything to damage my engine. I can wait until i have the new pipes to experience a performance boost, but i would like to change sound of the pipes and the look of the stock air cleaner. thanks again for the help.

your motor wont get ****ed up, back in the carburetor days you wouldn't know until something happens that you've been running lean as hell and just melted a piston, but not now, if you're running lean, your check engine light comes on, and if you're running either lean or rich to the point it's gunna grenade your motor, the light flashes. I don't care if the guy wants to go get his **** remapped and spend all the money that's not needed right now, but punks that talk **** and don't really know, when the program is made without an air cleaner on it, and the MAP sensor, IAC sensor are both perfectly capable of reading the increase as well as the injectors can compinsate, the ECM reads all teh diffrences and makes changes, if it gets an abnormal reading for any of those or the oxygen sensors, that nice little check engine light comes on to tell you that somethings f*cked!! if it see's the slightiest missfire or detination from the knock sensor from being too lean... hey look at that little light, yeah comes on!
so next time you want to talk ****, try it about someone that doesn't know what they are talkin about.

So, where was I talking **** again? I'd rather have my bike running right, than too lean or rich. Your bike, do what you want with it. I just made a suggestion. I'm also not one of those guys that is all that trust worthy of those little lights you mention. Such as the fuel light they're putting on them now. From what I can see you're the only one acting like a "punk." Grow up bud.

Well its been a while that I've been lurking on this site and taking suggestions / ideas from a lot of you. So this is what I've done with mine so far. I have a silver one I'll post later.
New Tribal Mirrors flipped
Tribal pegs
Bra
Cycle Shack Slip Ons
Front Wheel Nut Covers
Smoked out Front Signals
The only thing I can say about the slips ons is awesome, that was the sound I was looking for and for $150 shipped you cant beat it. Only advise i can give to anyone not sure about doing this or hesitant is that they do take some effort removing, they dont just slip off... took me about 15 min per pipe and a couple bloody fingers but worth it in the end.
