Default New Exhaust

Need some opinions, I have a 2006 FXST and have done the stage one, it is a carburated model not fuel injected. I am switching to the Bassani Sweeper exhaust and need to know if I will have to do anything to the carb as far as adjustments or anything else. Also is installation easy. I have been getting conflicting responses. Thanks for the help.

If you look around I think most people will tell you that you are going to have to rejet the carb... You don't HAVE to... but apparently the bike will not run it's best unless you do.

Lots of posts about this stuff.

I already jetted the carb once when I went from the stock pipes to the screaming eagle. Will I have to have them done again. I am totally ignorant about this stuff. Thanks for the help.
