DIY Vrod Akrapovic 2 into 1 Open Line Exhaust Install

[@Irontrucker]

Looks good . My came with it installed already. I just got the power vision installed yesterday.

[@jfisher99999]

Hector Collado even better! The best exhaust available in my opinion. Dynojet FTW!

[@robertbrogstam7574]

Many thanks! very good to look before! Looking forward to Power Vision video!

[@Pinozcyclezandridez]

Yeah I’m over my Vance 2 into 1...to loud for me...this exhaust seems a lot quieter... Awesome install vid

[@robertesek2930]

I know I'm 2 years late, but in the same shoes :D Did you make the switch? Can you tell me about the actual difference? Thanks pal

[@Pinozcyclezandridez]

Better quality and overall sound and performance. Yes I did switch. That bikes been sold😂 I’ve got a Roadglide now full D&D 2 into 1

[@robertesek2930]

You actually responded, thanks haha :) Road Glide is my next bike, but can't efford it for at least 2-3 more years (buying a house now). How quieter is it compared to VH? Idle and high speed? Thanks man@@Pinozcyclezandridez

[@ErnieB573]

Nice vid, probably should have used some copper no seize on the bung plugs

[@jfisher99999]

I can say that I removed the O2’s with ease a few weeks ago lol

[@pedroblas100]

good video...but any chance after installing all the parts and you start the bike ... did you have a lot of smoke front the front pipe

[@jfisher99999]

I had a little just from random oils from my hands touching the exhaust. But I gave it a good wipe down before the first start and that really helped

[@pedroblas100]

@@jfisher99999 probably I will take the front pipe out.... to inspect the seal make sure didn't get crunch but also smells like burning rubber.....

[@pedroblas100]

what type of wrench to tighten the front exhaust pipe... the nut on the right side...... I could not get a good wrench

[@jfisher99999]

I bought a cheap 10mm wrench and cut it in half to make it really small. It was the only way I could come up with to get it tightened

[@PakiBikerAftab]

Bro the nut which you used for blocking o2 hole is this nut come in the box of Akrapovic exhaust or i have to buy this separately?

[@jfisher99999]

PakiBiker Aftab Akrapovic includes it in the hardware pack that comes with the exhaust

[@PakiBikerAftab]

Thanks buddy 👍🏼 I ordered this exhaust for my 2008 Nightrod special. Akrapovic says it won’t install 2008 model lets see i hope it will be installed.

[@jfisher99999]

@@PakiBikerAftab hm. I had an 08 before this bike and I believe it should fit that one as well?

[@PakiBikerAftab]

Yes I don’t think there will be any issue Akrapovic says its for 2009 and up coz of O2 sensor only. There is no O2 sensor in 2008 model. Lets see waiting for the shipment to arrived. Living in Middle east

[@dominikzolkos]

Where did you get it? I'm hoping it would fit on my 2004.

[@jfisher99999]

Biohazard Cycles! Thomas Stokes has killer pricing

[@Joes432]

Hey man, I just installed this on my 10th anniversary edition. I cannot for the life of me get the header bolt on the right head on the extremely curled/bent portion of the headers. I can't even get a wrench in to tighten it up. Again, it's the side closest to the radiator. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@jfisher99999]

J Roy I bought a cheapo wrench from harbor freight and cut it in half that way I could get it in there. It’s a slow, pita process but it will eventually tighten

[@AlejandroMaciasSr]

Can you provide a link to the tapered exhaust gasket used?

[@jfisher99999]

Hi Alejandra, I actually used the 64971-09 Harley Davidson gasket. I say actually because it doesn't appear to be tapered and is more of a straight gasket

[@nathanmullin2680]

how the popping on decel. i have v&h 2-1 comp and the decel pop drives me crazy.

[@jfisher99999]

nathan mullin all exhausts, even stock, have decel pop to an extent. You don’t hear it as much on stock exhaust because the mufflers “muffle” it out. There is a video on KZbin by Fuel Moto where the guy breaks down what the different causes are of decel pop (there are several and there is a lot of misinformation out there on decel pop) and how to tune them out. It’s super informative and a great watch. I highly recommend

[@jfisher99999]

Nathan here is the video. It's specific to the Power Vision which is what I have, but the principals within the video apply to everything: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYTcZa2vo9ejmbc

I don’t think I’ve heard 2 people pronounce acropovic the same way
