your probably right, the jetting seem to be well suited to this pipe, the bike runs cooler to ...
Dont need no long tubes unless you like the noise, they arn't smog legal in cali anyway :evil:

I think as long as you are not making a profit off of selling something that we gave you the money to buy then your good. And the fact that if you did get something with that money that it benefits another hoon. Not end up on ebay or some crap like that. I just hope that all that money ends up ...
