Hi, I have a 98 Kat 750, still has the stock exhaust. I was thinking of adding an aftermarket slip-on. Just wondering 2 things. First, I would rather not have to do anything with the jets or carbs & second, is there a preferred brand or model for 750 kats to give the best sound or performance? Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

You won't need to do anything with a slip-on exhaust. You just put them on and go. Nothing else is required.
The preferred brand is the one that sounds best to you at the right price. For my former Kat, a Good 'ol D&D was the best because I liked loud and cheap, just the way I like my women!=USAF= Retired

Everytime you change the airflow either into or out of your engine, your fuel needs change as well. He'll need bigger jets for sure. As a matter of fact, I'd be surprised if the bike ran well at all after the change. It would be running dangerously lean and he'd risk damage to his engine.

Yea, your right (I suppose). Although, I have no idea why anyone would purchase an aftermarket exhaust if it didn't provide more air flow. The stock dual pipes are a pretty sweet seamless design. I suppose it's possible someone could put on an aftermarket system with the exact same air flow as stock.
So, to clarify, if you purchase an exhaust that increases (or decreases) flow through the engine, you need to rejet.Last edited by akarob; 05-14-2010, 08:54 AM.

WOW, sounds like it's up to you! Slip on for better sound and looks, re-jet for more power and drive-ability. Or both for the best of both worlds!http://katriders.com/vb/showthread.php?t=110816

I can speak from expericane that you can put a slip on on and not adjust the carbs from factory at all. A lot of people will adjust the A/F mix screw but that is it for a slip on.=USAF= Retired
