Default New Guy needs help

Hello all, just out browsing the net and came across the site. I bought my first ever bike in the summer of 2005. Of course, it was a Harley Sportster 1200Custom and I have loved evry minute of it. I finally took the first steps to customizing my bike and have already ran into some headaches and was wondering if some fellow Harley owner/Riders could help me. I know this is the new members area but maybe I can be pointed in the right direction. So as I said before, I took my first baby sets and decided to upgrade my exhaust. Yeah, I am one of those who wants a little louder system. Anyways, this is right where I came into my first problem. I ordered 1 3/4" Santee drag pipes from Custom Chrome. Of course they came with no directions but I managed to get them on. Then I go out for a ride and everything sounds great but now I have run into some problems and any technical support or advise would be great. My bike now cuts out on me, I loose all battery power and my choke won't pull out. someone please help. I know I will probaly have to take it into a service center but I just want to know if I did anything wrong or what's up. Thanks for any assitance and I promise I didn't join the forum just to get advice. This was my first post but it won't be my last...Thanks in advance.

Aaron
