Default aftermarket headers make power or not?
I was just wondering if anyone has noticed that after they added a full exhaust they noticed better power. I know the slipons are basically about sound but wasn't sure if a new header would prove worth it. thanks!

just a vocabulary difference then, I usually think of that as a rejet, and a tune for an efi motor. same difference said differently

both efi n carb'd can be tuned. But as you stated a carbed bike may have to be rejetted. Carbs can be fine tuned too
