Oh ya, the SE's are full exhaust, not slip-ons.

If you already have a download and it runs fine then you are okay. you're just changing one free flowing exhaust for another. If you want to get picky, it's never a bad idea to get it dyno'd, just cost a couple hundred bones.

Listen to the good Dr. about how to change pipes, lol. I think he's put about 12 sets on his bike now...lol.

Since you have the download you will be fine. It will run better with a tuner, but bolt them on and go.

We're waiting. It's been over an hour. My first time exhaust took me quite a while though.

your not a tight wad if you install your own pipes! your a man!! you should be able to do basic stuff,i did my pipes,no major, only a few bolts and some heat shields,toughest job could be removing old flange bolts!!
not only save money,its also rewarding, and makes the bike YOURS,i dont get these guys that take there bikes to the dealers to get new mirrors put on,the dealers rub there hands when they see these guys coming!
