Default stock exhaust.....

Hi yall, I have the stock exhaust still on the bike and was wondering if I could just knock out the baffels fora short term fixuntil I get enough cash for a full system. Would doing that, would I have to take it to the Dealer and have them remap it with the computer? Also, what about slip on mufflers? Anyone have any positives about them? Thanks.

I'd just save up some money and get some slip on muffs rather than knock out the baffles on your stock muffs.

Do some searching around on this site and you'll find plenty of information.

Personally, I love my RUSH slip on mufflers. 2" baffles, great sound, great product and superb customer service.

Put on rush slipons with 2.00 baffles today along with a K&N and took it for a run. Sure sounds great, almost a little loud, but should be okay. I was wondering if I needed to do anything with remapping of the fuel system or will I be okay like it is. The scoot only has 500 miles on it as of this posting. Thanks for the help..g
