    Welcome to the forum! Here are some suggestions on jetting, based on certain mods. The best setup is always stock, but the lack of OEM parts necessitates some changes sometimes. Good luck, and be sure to ask any questions you come up with. Oh, and post some pictures of your ride!

      Hey drifter!

      If you've already fitted a custom exhaust, it probably is already re-jetted for it. Depending on how the jetting worked for that, you may or may not find you need to change for the pod filters.

      All depends really, the link Bug gave gives eomg ood starting points, but every combo turns out a little different so you just gotta tinker till it hits that sweet spot.
      Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

      When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
