Sorry guys got another question, I see it comes with some parts for the carbs I'm guessing for the jetting, anyone know how to install these or should I take it to someone to do that part?

You'll need to rejet for the pipe. 80 pilots, 152.5 mains. If you've never done it, order the jets and come back to this thread. It's really easy.

Ok well i got it all installed the wet pipe... i have to say that was a pain in the ass not as easy as i thought. I do have a few questions in this first pic where does the 21" blue water line go to this is the one that comes out of the bottom of the header.

I'm so sorry, I hadn't noticed that you posted back here with more questions. Your second picture is the second pisser or "pump dump" line. It takes water from the bottom of the stock exhaust manifold and dumps it into the pump area. You can either take your blue line from picture #1 and dump it into that or you can plug it and dump your blue line overboard with a second pisser (what I do). You can also change how much water you keep in your headpipe by running your cooling line from your cylinder head to the bottom of your exhaust headpipe and then piss it from the top. This keeps it cooler but I don't do it this way.

What smart people do with picture #2:
People who are mechanically inclined tap their pumps and tap their exhaust manifolds for dual cooling. They then use that pump dump line to add another cooling line to the manifold, hence the term "dual cooling" you read about so much here.

I don't do that. I run a single 1/2" line (instead of the 3/8") line into my single cooled manifold with the pump dump pisser line plugged.

Are you at Sea Level? I'm at 700ft in Wisconsin and the Jets that came with were too rich. I went to 75 lows and 147.5 mains. It's still a little rich in the summer heat, but I ride in the winter months so it's a trade off. I just turn my needles in in the summer.

You have to tune your carbs from idle up. You'll want to do the idle drop test.

I chased my tail tuning my Wet Pipe. I thought it was the water screws, it was jets being far too rich.
