It is recommended, but not necessary, that you buy [http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=RC-1822 K&N] or [http://www.unifilter.com/whoisuni.html UNI] pod filters if you are going to put an aftermarket exhaust on your bike. They make things so much easier. Do this BEFORE buying an exhaust. New filters and exhaust are not likely to net you more than a horsepower or two on such a small engine, but pod filters make carb maintenance easier.  
You may want to [[Battery box mod for easier carb removal|modify the battery box]] if you are going to put an aftermarket exhaust on your bike or otherwise plan on rejetting. Why? Because the physical carb adjustment is simple. It's the fine tuning process that can be time consuming and tedious. It will require you to pull the carbs AT LEAST TWICE (if you are extremely lucky), but probably more like three or four times to get everything right.

Pod filters do increase intake noise (but then, if you're running a Muzzy that's hardly a concern, is it?)
