    I wouldn't change anything until I see how it runs.

    +1. I thought the same thing when I built my pvc plenum with single pod filter and removed my mufflers on my cafe-bob 550. I waited until I saw & felt how it ran and turns out I didn't need to rejet. Still need a rebuild & sync but it's running great.
