How to install exhaust pipes slip on for Harley Davidson Road King Vances & Hines

Installing exhaust slip on pipes on a Harley Davidson Road King.

[@carlosluy]

Thanks for the feed back, when I was searching for pipes there was not to many install videos so I figured I would show how easy it was to install yourself and save the $

THANK YOU

I have been looking all over the net for all the stuff you just said...now I will do my bike.. . thanks..

[@rafeer4850]

I have to say that all these vids are pointing me toward the V&H pipes instead of other versions, the sound is just right without being rappy. Nice ride you have there.

[@wapartist]

I appreciate the wipedown tip. I learned my lesson the hard way with another brand

[@Azallthaway]

Thanks for posting this, I did it today and that wouldn't have been possible without your help!

[@AlexRamirezDrummer]

Thanks for sharing the video man!!!! Really helpful

[@ProjectRambo]

Thanks for the video! I'm going to install some V&H on my 72

[@nutmegger1957]

Whenever you change an exhaust system setup, it's very important to adjust the way the motorcycle runs, due to compression changes.

Nice ,,thanks for the video, I'm about to order me some of those pipes

[@carlosluy]

That's Great!

@athroughme I had a 2004 Sportster. I put some Rush pipes on it, and it seemed to run fine, maybe a SLIGHT bit leaner without any carb work. But after I additionally installed an S/E intake, it ran WAY too lean for the stock carb settings. After I went ahead and swapped out the jets and the needle, the bike ran better in every way. Power, response, everything.

Great video, thanks for the lesson!

[@moulin6]

Thanks for the video! Nice job!

[@carlosluy]

I like the Lower tone, but I would recommend you go to a bike shop and ask them to turn on a few bikes so you can hear what you like. They should have many styles.

[@raiderflea]

Great video thanks!

[@carlosluy]

@crisscreations Hi Chris you don't need a stage Kit or tuner. The slip on pipes work just fine.

[@SaybreofAges]

Sounds nice. The only negative is that I would save the original clamps. My thinking is buy the Harley, take off original pipes & clamps, wrap up & store away for what might happen in the future. Like your choice in bike by the way. Recently got the 110th anniversary R.K. myself.

[@carlosluy]

I asked the dealer, they stated not necessary. I havn't felt any difference in the engine or power. You should be fine. Good luck

Great video Carlos. Only one question; since you didn't install a fulepak or a power commander, what do you think about having the EFI remaped by HD? Do you get as much power out your pipes without this?

[@TheDiazandPartners]

Very Good Thanks

[@adiab66]

Just installed the exact same slip-ons (V&H Tapered slash cut) on my 07 Road King, sound is amazing deep and loud with a good tone, i will record it and post it. But did you buy the FuelPak? or its not that much important?? i refilled my bike with gas and will measure how much it will drive with full after slip-ons without fuelpak to compare.

[@carlosluy]

That's great, plus you have an extra 200 bucks in your pocket on the labor you saved. Ride on!!

[@Thesqueezebox1]

No Todd no remap needed if only slip-on were changed, now you will need it if you go with a high flow air filter.

[@stevehalbers]

How about some anti-sieze grease on the bolt threads and silencer / exhaust pipe sleeve ?

[@timmusgrove130]

Yes you need to get it tuned. I don't recommend the screaming eagle tuner. try the dynojet power commander.

[@carlosluy]

@James95Dean It makes the job easier if the pipes have been on the bike for a while. Good luck

[@Gershqui]

Just need to ask a question here...if I put a slip on muffler and change my air filter to K&N, do I need a tuner for that? Thanks.

[@1slander1970]

Did you also change the air cleaner? If you change the Air cleaner too do I have to get the computer updated? I was told by a friend of mine to perform the air change first than to do the pipes...Wondering at what point do I need HD help with the computer. Everything else I can handle and save on the labor...

[@OffRoadOverlandCamping]

Once the mufflers are installed, do you have to remap the onboard computer or is the bike ready to ride?

[@irishpat64]

Very Helpful video,I'm looking to do the same to my '06 RoadKing.How did you find out you didn't need to do a Stage 1 or any other special engine work?I don't want to spend the extra $ if I don't have to! Thanks,btw,Great Scoot!! :)

[@bozo47p]

carlos do you prefer vance and hines over screaming eagle pipes?

[@crisscreations]

Great tutorial Carlos...Thank You! Couple questions I believe everyone is thinking but not asking Whenever asking about new pipes mostly all of us have been told we need a stage 1 kit as well as a tuner for new pipes. Is this true or can we just put the new pipes on and ride? About $400 as opposed to $1500 would be great! I have a 2008 Street Glide and I am sick of the stock lawnmower exhaust tone. Thanks, Chris

[@carlosluy]

Just make sure you have an inpact gun for the bolt on the exghust. Other than that I don't see why not.

[@carlosluy]

@SfcBrandies Ride with Caution Good Luck

[@jojofeliciano5188]

your right that sounds like a harley good job save money on labor

[@sandeepveeramani]

Nice video. An off topic question. How did you get the license plate under the tail light. I have an 09 Road King Classic and the plate sits above the light.

[@nicholasmapes]

You can get a kit for it I'm sure, check Amazon or Ebay, you will probably find something fairly inexpensive.

[@nicholasmapes]

Looks like a company called "soft brake" makes one, the are likely other options as well.

[@adriannyasia]

baya papa, good job. They sound bitchin'!

[@carlosluy]

@absoft2000 Good Luck, Ride with Caution!

[@carlosluy]

No grease needed, it's just going to smell as you heat up the bike. If the bolts your removing are really rusty just shoot some WD40 on the threads. Good luck

[@quetzalcoatul1]

At first. I thought I saw Carlos coy lol aka spm

[@LOVE-JC777]

Rush in my opinion sound better

[@carlosluy]

No it was not needed, and the bike runs great no difference in power. No need to spend the $

[@joebourdeau3188]

where did you man voice go?

[@wdurazo22]

Weak....
