so you have the slip ons.
most of us would get a no-cat header- check ebay...about $150
a Ness big sucker has a K&N type oiled, washable, resuable filter about $125 on ebay from easternpc- uses the stock cover, which has the benefit of concealing the servomotor plug and wiring on the throttle body. get the version with chrome backing plate- it looks better where it attaches at the heads.
tuning compensation takes many forms- I use nightrider.com XIEDS. about $130
so we are now at about $400- for that you get an increase in power of about 7 to 10 horsepower.
That is the best bang for buck you;ll get out of your bike.
reliability and mpg will be retained.

Typically the #1 reason for a stage one is cooling the monster down. They run lean out of the wrapper and most want to richen them up for longentivity, and to deal with the heat they make.
The 2nd reason is probably sound, for they are quite pathetic sounding coming out of the wrapper.

I recommend putting a vance and Hines fuelpak from direct cycle parts I believe it was 221 dollars and my bike runs so much better I believe as it is winter here so I only got a short ride in after I installed it
