Not being familiar with the Honda's (as much as some) I can still say that if you add a slip-on exhaust you MIGHT be ok doing nothing. However, it wouldn't hurt to add a fuel controler (or rejetting) to ensure you don't run lean. Chances are though, if you just add a slip-on you are not going to lean it out. HOWEVER, consider this. If you are adding an exhaust for performance, you are trying to let the machine breathe better. Adding an exhaust lets the machine "exhale" better, but does nothing for the "inhale" therefore defeating the purpose IMO. I would seriously consider opening the airbox in someway if you are going to add an exhaust but in doing so, you will want to add the fuel controler or jets to ensure you don't burn up the engine with a lean envoirnment. Besides, running lean also robs you of the almighty horsepower. (Too rich will foul your plugs and bogg you down.)

Battlegun is spot on for the work necessary to increase the performance level 2-3 more HP. As for exhaust manufacturers, This depends on what you want your bike to sound like. HMF pipes are generally fairly loud. LRD are somewhat docile. I am partial to Two Brothers myself. Visit the manufacturers websites, see if they have db (decibel) readings of the systems and compare those to what stock usually runs at (85 db). That will give you some indication as to how loud it will be.
