I have not used that exhaust specifically. but when I went to a different aftermarket exhaust I found that lowering the clip on my needle down a notch in the carb helped richen the mix a little and it ran better. If you need help doing what i explained just ask, I can go into more detail.
You asked if its bolt on. Yes, it is.
Just saying, though, you can save 100 and get it in a black painted finish. Your money, not mine though

I'm still dialing my bike in with the painted version of that pipe.
You'll probably have to tune the carb a bit. The downside is no spark arrester and it's LOUD. Harley with drag pipes loud.

So with no arrestors you can't ride in parks.Does it effect performance?

When you run, sparks can fly out of the end of a un-protected exhaust. If they do, they can catch things on fire. So they stop you from burning your local forest down, and they quiet everything down a bit. They can be simple.

I have that exhaust with the black finish on my 200x, if you're gonna get it make sure you get the chrome finish. I only had the exhaust on the trike for not even a year and it's getting pretty rusty, very poor finish, the chrome should be more durable. It's a little loud but performance seems good.
