If you only put pipes on, and don't mess with the aircleaner, you'll be fine. I only put on my Rush 2 inchers, and it runs awesome.

I went with the SE stage 1 air cleaner and Rush crossover pipes. The new SE air filter is much better than the old ones and I like the fact I don't have to oil it, just wash it every 5,000 miles. I also went with a SERT. Don't just go with a regular download because it still meets EPA specs so your bike will still run lean. With the race tuner the air fuel ratio will be adjusted to where the engine is really getting what it wants and will run cooler and stronger. Also, I had the dealer adjust mine, if you want you can but the leads and disc and adjust it yourself or have it dyno tuned somewhere else.
