I just got a Night Rod Special and wanted to know about different exhaust options. Also after market air filters ( such as K & N) do they help, are they worth the $$. I'm a new bike owner so any info will help. Thanks....Jerry

 

From what I hear it's best to get a high flow air filter after switching out pipes.

As far as pipes, their is all kinds of slip ons you can get, and some total custom styles also.

Just do a google search as I found that to be the best way so far.

 

K&N filters are always an easy and good mod. Increase air flow but won't change the performance of the bike without a change in pipes. The bike will run a little leaner but I think it is about the same as going topless (quieter though) and remapping is not usually required. As far as pipes 2:2, 2:1 slipons, caps etc. There are probably a lot of used pipes out there since riders tend to change pipes as they change clothes. However you will need to remapp Sert, PCIII, or some other fueler.

 

Thanks...Does anyone have a thought on the exhaust they went with....pros? cons?

 

I saw the super trapps either the kerkers, or the other ones which come in black or chrome. Both are slip ons. Don't want a loud pipe around here but wouldn't mind the increase in hp.
