    I am re-installing my air filter box to get rid of the running issues the pods started. Now my question is will I need to do something since I just have open headers, if I have issues will Baffles solve the problem? I just feel I may not have enough back pressure. I just want my bike ride-able!!

    Hey Guys,

    I cut my pipes right around where the factory foot pegs are and my bike runs better if anything. The power went up a bit,and the rpms are a bit lower when at 65-70mph,which i like,but my factory airbox has remained untouched.I want to try the pods simply for the cleaner look,but i heard jetting can be a headache.

    When you say Baffles,are you talking about adding them to your factory pipes after you hace cut them,or i different exaust all together?

    Thanks

    -Ben
