Here's a source for the kit, with instructions. It ain't hard to do at all.
AI removal kit As to the pipes, it is a personal preference, as mentioned.
Problem is, you gotta match your inflow with your outgo. You start changing pipes or gutting your stock ones and you are into rejetting, opening up your airbox, adjusting your pilot screws and on and on.
I'd ride the bike stock, read up on everything available here and elsewhere, and make your mods one at a time.
You can do a little or you can do a lot.... but ride the bike for awhile as is first. Then you can appreciate whatever each mod brings.
