Y pipe is a must, flash is a must, improving grammar is the most important of all! You will notice improved performance.

Not only will you get much better performance but it will help slow down on the heat generated under the seat.

it dosnt really effect heat much IMHO but that cat is the only true restriction on exhaust for the bike. you want to get rid of it ASAP.

block offs
airbox mod
ypipe
slips
flashtune
pcv
custom tune

those things together make for a verified 165hp
