Default need stage 1 advice

i have a 883-1200 2006 converted sportster, have purchased cycle shack slip ons, which i'm going to put on myself, along with a new air cleaner, which i haven't yet researched enough to decide on, taking one step at a time...

first of all, are all high flow air cleaners the same/similar enough, or should i stick with one particular type to help balance out the back pressure of the cycle shack mufflers? If this is not an issue, then i'd like to just go with whatever type that gives the best horsepower boost. i'm open to any opinions and suggestions on this matter,

the next question is, after i put on the mufflers and change the cleaner, what is the difficulty of the rejetting procedure? is that something i could do myself, or does it take more mechanical experience to get it running and balanced properly? I am thinking about having a bike repair shop do the rejetting for me after i do the other stuff...also what's a ballpark price on the rejetting? thanks to anyone who responds
