Should I replace stock exhaust or wait until after breakin period?

[kevykev]

I will be buying a 08 Busa this weekend (hopefully). I want a Muzzy 4in1 exhaust installed. My question is, should I wait until the 500 mile breaking period or have it install when I purchase the bike. I'm thinking that maybe If I get it install now I might be able to get a deal on install labor or even the part.
Thanks

I would ride the bike long enough to make sure there are no major defects... the pipe may or may not affect the warranty, why risk it now... break it in first and then start making changes... (just my opinion)

I would put atleast 1000 miles on the bike, make sure everything is broken in and properly seated before making any modifications. If you want to get the discount on the pipes or discounted install, simply make the purchase now, but wait a while before having them actually installed.

This is what I was recommended when I bought my old SV650S so im just passing the knowledge along...(Dont know how much truth is behind it, but I figured it was not bad advice)

if you put the new pipes on w/o ever running the stockers, they'll (the stockers) be pristine.
the blokes on the other side of the pond will give big buck$ for them. therefore you can recoup the cost of the aftermarket pipes
