I enjoy riding on vtx 05 s, but pipes too loud. Hearing Sensitive rider wants to replace longshots with stock exhaust 1300 2005 s question on carb though
the longshots were set up with a hypercharger when purchased, runs good as is.
Question is: if I install stock pipes and leave on hypercharger will this require any mods to the carb setting? I suspect so but possibly someone has experience with this issue.
As long as the carb is properly setup for the Hypercharger, you shouldn't have to mess with the carb when you change pipes. But as @Vinish said, the only way to be sure is to go ahead and change the pipes.
Remember to get new exhaust gaskets, and be sure to remove the old ones (they may not look like they are there, and are a pain to remove). Also, don't mess with the carb settings until you have properly seated the new exhaust (may take a few hot cold cycles with retorquing to 17 ft lbs). This may fool you into thinking it is the carb.
TY, now my quest for finding stock pipes. Appreciated the points on the pipe gaskets too, kudos to all experienced vtx riders, that help out newbies this engine will be iconic for decades to come.

I maybe shooting myself in the foot but, I am going to say most definitely ....YES ! The stock pipes do not flow as quickly nor with the volume as the longshots will . I would think that you will have to drop the idle and main 1 jet size each probably drop the needle 1 space. Nothing that is hard to do, any idea what jets are in the carb. now?
