Definitely a must do. I cut the cat out and tig welded a new pipe section before the first engine start. Spend the bucks and get a new carb. You'll eventually want to port the head it's not hard just be clean with your parts on reassembly. Also recored the stock muffler is much less restrictive and almost too quiet on the road.

I'd say after all that my hawk has about 50% more HP now, it's very close to a CRF 230. But it's still a 230! So keep your expectations grounded. Pure dirt bikes will still eat you alive. But you can run the roads!

There's some good threads on China riders about this.
