Thanks to all that contributed to this thread and the many others concerning the Termi install, this was my first exhaust swap and it went pretty smoothly for me. I only had one screw seize up, the old exhaust came off pretty easily and the Termi pipes went on smoothly for me as I used some lithium grease on the outside of the Termi pipe, I replaced all the hardware attaching the heat shields because of the corrosion. Heal-Tech servo installed along with Smart-Moto O2 sensor eliminator kit, CEL went off during my second ride and she's running smoothly and now growls like a beast. I'm still debating on whether or not I want to keep the stock map or install the UP-MAP or do the Rexxer ECU flash, she's running smoothly at the moment and I haven't noticed too much difference between cold start take off's of the OEM and the Termi exhausts. I can say it does feel less restricted and the weight loss is always welcome, baffle is in but man does it make my Shoei RF-1200 vibrate quite a bit more now
