Hi Cap, you'll get different opinions on running the pods. I have them and have no jetting issues at all. I did go up one size on the pilot jets and have the stock exhaust. I don't detect any more or less power, runs great. I simply like the look and sound.'79 XS11 Special, fork gaiters, Uni pods, 45 pilots, 140 mains, ditched the octy, solo seat, T kat fork brace

Those DO appear to be the OEM pipes with the OEM finned clamps, they are BLACK GOLD!!! I would definitely find a welder or muffler shop that could repair/patch them. There is supposed to be a water drain hole at the leading edge of the muffler near the headers, the pipes are dual layered. Are you actually feeling exhaust pulses from the holes, are they in the actual bends of the header pipes??
