I had plans for pipes and such before I got mine. Now that I have ridden it quite a bit I have decided it's just fine the way it is. It starts great, hastremendous power, sounds good with the stock pipes and looks great, I don't want to change anything. I may change my mind in the future but for now it does everything it was suposed to do, in factbeyond my expectations.

I finished stage 1 last weekend VH shortshots SE air cleaner and rejet. I did not get to ride it much but tha little I did, wow what difference. No more carb farts pulls harder off a start and the pipes sound better than before I put on the new air cleaner and jets. Makes me wonder why I took so long to do it. The stock air cleaner and pipes choake the air flow through the motor that is why 2004-2006 sportster all seem to have carb fart problems in their stock state.

The longer I run the stock setup the louder these pipes get.
I think.

Of course, all I have to do is go anywhere where there are other Harleys, and I'm reminded that my bike is still pretty quiet

Probably 90% of the guys I know andride with have done nothing more than swap out the exhaust.
If their bike sounds good, and runs fine with no problems at normal cruising speeds, they could care less about spending hundreds of dollars to pick up a few additional horsepower.
