Default Question about exhaust

Hello,

Just bought my first Harley! 2005 Sportster 883. I am thinking of upgrading the exhaust. I am looking at the cycle shacks, slip ons. I was wondering if these will require a rejet? I don't want to mess around with the carb or air filter.

I was wondering if anyone has used these, and if so, did you need to rejet?

Thanks!

I just put a new set of MXL-130SS ie slide slash on my 2006 883R. I run a K & N OEM replacement air filter and no rejet is required. $150 bucks and some change from Powersport Superstore and about 30 minutes of your time. Bike runs great. Motor finally breathes.. PowerSport Superstore was nearly 30 dollars cheaper then Dennis Kirk or Jpcycles. Free delivery when I bought mine.

Those are the ones I was looking at. They are on amazon for 150. Good to hear that I may be able to get away without rejetting! Thanks!
