    Many owners have discussed the problems associated with going aftermarket on the X.
    Apparently it's a fine balance between exhaust backpressure and air-box vacuum.
    I was convinced to drop the idea and stick with stock to keep the performance without having to mess with jets and carbs for the next two years.
    Unfortunately a really nice stock exhaust will cost more than an aftermarket. I saw a beauty set go for almost $450 last year on ebay.

    which leads me to my next question... does that apply to changing the air filters... I'm guessing the obvious answer.

    cheers.
