Exhaust, Pods, and jets

From the picture it looks like they go under, then exit to the right.

That would not be a drag pipe,which is good.
Drag pipes usually don't have baffels,street pipes do.
Is there any bolt holes toward the end of the can?

I just picked up a 98 KZ1000-P and right off the bat it was missing a petcock...No problem i ordered a Pingel and installed it asap. Everything ran like i would expect out of bike that hasn't been started in almost a year except for the fact that my air filter caught fire haha. Looked at the floats in the carb and sure enough, every one of them are hard to move. I pulled the carbs and i will be cleaning them in the next week or so. Ok so heres my actual question, I found a guy selling some racing exhaust for a kz. Its a 4 to 1 no baffle and he also has the K&N pod filters. Everything is only $140 so Im ready to jump all over it. While I have the carb off, am I going to have to change the jets or would it be rideable with the stock jets? Am I getting too much performance parts and getting in way over my head on this? This is my first real bike but I am most definitely mechanically inclined so changing jets is not a big deal...just a money issue. I looked at the dynojet kits and its a $130 but they don't actually say it is for a 98' KZ1000, it only lists the production years and not the police bike. I would really appreciate any feedback you guys can offer. Thanks in advance!

Do some more "digging" and search under "pods" you will archive a years worth of reading.... sorry to be blunt but this very question gats asked on a weekly basis from new members.

Yeah no problem, I can only imagine how often people ask about exhaust and pods.

I still like to think there's hope haha!

On the issue of Pods and Jets there will be a negitive response for every positive response.

Look who gives a positive response and click on thier profile and read the posts they left on Pods.

Ok great thanks for the advice! sorry for the very delayed response. Just for anyone else that come across this thread, I ended up going with the K&N airbox filter and i do not regret it one bit. It breathes a million times better than it did and I had no problems getting it to run correctly with the new filter.

Hi there, theres more in that old bike yet if the air filter made a difference.get in touch with Sigma Racing tell them what youve got & mods & they will send you jets and instructions.I did and when i checked the end results with a air/fuel ratio meter they were right on the money.Well worth the bucks.Jetting can be very hard to get right.wayno
