dude, this whole time the problem was my airbox lid. I started it with the lid off, and there shee was screaming. I can't believe I overlooked it. I was so psyched to get the pipes that I overlooked the other things. The added perfomance is really something. I kept the 260's in, and just used my dremel to cut a few slots in the lid, and removed the snorkel. I bought my shee in 97 brand new, and never added any mods till now. I waited too long. The stock pipe really hinders the performance. Now I can just gas it, and the front picks up like nothing. This is just the beginning. My shee doesnt have many hours on it at all. It sat in my shop for awhile. I been too busy with my business, and family to play with it. Now I'm hooked! I been riding since I was 7 yrs old, and am at the ripe old age of 29 now. I can't believe that I forgot the thrill. My wife thinks I'm nuts. I went to the parts dealer to get some jets, and what did I do? I ordered a 2005 Hyabusa! I'm picking it up next week. I got the bug. Again. I really thought my next bike was going to be a custom chopper, but the speed addiction is overwhelming! Thanks for your posts guys. Johnnytalent
