QUESTION: im running stock pipes w/thunderheader slip on mufflers, and no i havent rejetted the carb

Answer
If you are getting breather pressure through the carb you should see a puff of gas coming out. Pull your plugs and take a look at them. If they are black then you are running to rich. White and to lean. I would suspect that you need to rejet. Also, check your timing. To far advanced and you will have the same problem.
Good luck and happy riding
