well, since yours has a carb, you'll have to get it re jetted for aftermarket pipes. i had to re jet my honda shadow when i put cobra pipes on it. i just leat the dealer do it b/c i didnt wanna screw something up. you have to drill out the jets and put larger(i guess) injecters into the carb. i saw the drill bit and was like nope, im not gona do it.

check out vance & hines or hard chrome for pipes. i put my baffles back in btw. i think i lost some power and mpg w/ them out for some reason. i think it sounds better with the baffles in too. it jsut didnt sound right w/ them out and it was extremely loud. people that i usually ride w/ wouldnt ride w/ me b/c it was so loud, so i put them back in the other night.
