I'm gonna chime in with a vote for Jackpot headers. Bolted right up, take stock shields, and have 4 bungs. 2 are in the OEM location for OEM O2's, and 2 let you install the wide band sensors if that's your preference.
Great for reducing heat and enhancing exhaust tone.

Mount the pipe, plug the bungs, get PVC from fuel moto for your year and what ever slip ons you might later buy and your set. No O2 sensors required with PCV. Call Jamie at Fuel Moto, and he will tell you how it can be done.

If you have the O2 sensors to monitor and enable the ECM to slightly correct AFR to keep the bike running within the specified map parameters, why not use them?

A word of caution with respect to any adapters for the new smaller O2 sensors...the 12mm sensors are very short and must be far enough into the exhaust stream to work.
2010 and later models extend the sensor into the exhaust only about 3mm and a reduction of just 1mm is enough to cause problems. A 2mm reduction could render the sensors useless and that might cause error codes.
So these adapters may not be an easy fix and may actually cause issues.
While most appreciate saving money, some of these "devices" could cause you to spend more dollars in the long run.
