They arent V & H but i guess it dont matter what they are tbh. I have a Silvertail Pro S 2 in 1 system (see pic). When i wanted to fit them i was advised by my mechanic to undo the battery, fit the exhaust, reconnect the battery, leave it for about 15 minutes and let the ECU do the work, then fire it up - bike sounds awesome and i've not had any problems with it at all. Well - cept the bloody tarnishing on the pipes, but im hopefully gonna get them chrome plated next week I think most aftermarket pipes are prett much plug and play for the Star models, although theres lots of conflicting advice out there. Why dont you put the pipes on and see how the bike feels. If you think it needs rejetting after a couple of rides then go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithK Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have an '07 650 Silverado. I just purchased a set of Jardine pipes and a Kurkuyan Hypercharger. The Hypercharger came with Jet kit. I followed this Link http://www.650ccnd.com/hc.htm for the Carb Re-Jet (First time I've ever done carb work), and then I followed the Hyper-Charger instructions to the letter. I was amazed at how easy it was to do the jets, both pilot and main. The most difficult part of the entire install was getting the aluminum screws out from the float bowl covers. I ended up using a thin pair of side cutters to break them loose, then it was no problem. I replaced them with 4MM X 12MM hex cap screws. The difference in the bike is completely night and day!! I purchased the pipes and Hypecharger from two fantastic sellers on ebay. The Hypercharger came from seller "americanclassicmotors", and the pipes came from seller "mx113". I highly reccommend both. I purchased the pipes and Hypercharger for $470.00 complete with shipping. Again, the difference in the performance is fantastic.. Good Luck!
