Default Would tuning be required?

So, I'm the kinda guy who likes to squeeze every single ounce of power and use out of something. So naturally I would want to get an exhaust system on my bike. If you don't know already I have an 09 Ninja 250R. So here's my question. I'm going to get a Yoshi exhaust. And I'm trying to figure out if I should get the full system or a slip on. I've heard that if you get a full system you have to have the biked tuned unlike a slip on. I know that a slip on wouldn't make any performance difference, but if I have to get my bike tuned with a full system, well... That's not worth it to me.

Help me, fellas!

You have a good bike to ride. There are some out there that can put up a tune on that ride, I have not played with that one just yet.

+1 ^

Generally with a full system, a tune is in order. You usually lose some lower end grunt, and gain it back up top.

Well, I wasn't planning on doing the tune myself.. I would have in professionally done. But that's just the thing. I know that would be way too expensive. So what would you guys recommend for me? Slip on, or full? Also, what's the install difficulty on each?

U wanna keep this bike until I get bored with the power. I dunno. I'll probably ride around for the rest of this summer and then next, too. So year and a half to two years maybe?
