I am considering cobra 6 into 6...do I really need to jet the carbs right away? At sea level in Miami.

No, you'll be fine. However, you will lose power & gain noise. Gonna make it more like a Harley!  |

When I installed mine I didn't notice any change in power. I did get the bike second hand and whomever the prior owner was did have an aftermarket exhaust at some point. I'm not sure if he jetted the carbs or not though. I didn't get any backfire, or any change in performance in the negative. If anything according to the butt dyno I may have picked up a few. If not, it's loud and I love the sound so who cares!

My bike feels like 120 horsepower with my butt dyno, here are the real numbers.  Butt dynos are very optimistic.  Hoser |

You shouldn't have to re-jet,, maybe just raise/shim the needles..
