V&H Twin Slash vs Eliminator 300 Slipons Comparison. Which Vance & Hines slip on exhaust is loudest?

We compare the Vance and Hines Twin Slash Slipons with the Vance and Hines Eliminator 300 Slipons.
Up Hill. Down Hill Decelerating. Rev comparison. Ride BY. Accelerating. POV with GoPro. We cover it all!
This is the battle of the big slipons that you don't want to miss. The results are very interesting and surprised us!
The Twin Slash were fitted to a 2021 Harley Davidson Softail Standard 107 motorcycle and the Eliminator 300's to a Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic 114 motorbike.
Which bike do you like the sound of best? Which is the right one for YOU?

Awesome 👍🏼

[@bassistguy]

Thank you, this is probably the best comparison video I have seen for slip-ons. Every single type of scenario you could think of, you recorded. Thank you. I was leaning towards the Vance and Hines for my heritage classic just because I have V&H on my Sportster and I like the sound. Watching this video, I absolutely love the sound of the V&H!

The other major manufacturers should hire both you gentlemen to do videos on their exhaust systems. Very, very thorough and extremely helpful. Thank you both. I hate when ppl just start their bike in the driveway;rev it a few times and that’s it! 👍👍

[@peterford9369]

I think the 300s give a more throaty sound throughout the rev range. The 400s sounds a little scratchy at higher speed and rev. They both sound good at idle. Loud, isn't so much a thing to me as rumble. I'm not always looking to get pulled over and ticketed. I've got outbound slashed slipons on my t100 and they are plenty loud and throaty. Thanks guys,

I listened to almost every modern pipe before I bought the Twin Slash. I love the ‘old skool’ Harley pop, and won’t blow your head off on a long ride. They won’t piss off anyone trying to have a conversation within a quarter of a mile, and they won’t break the bank, as they’re half as costly as these new modern cans with the low frequency fluff. The twin slash sound extra good behind my V&H Dresser Duals, a high flow intake, and a Wood TW222 Cam.

Thank you! It was a 2018 model, there should be one that fits your 2023 heritage. If you ask a Harley dealer they should be able to recommend the right ones. You’ll also have to do a tune as there are extra CO2 sensors on the 21 and later Harley’s. Unless you’re in America, I think it might be different there 🤔

Thanks for the info. I will check into them next time I'm there. From what I have been told by a few independent HD mechanic is that I will not need a tune, until I change to a free-flowing exhaust. this should be close to stock. Love the channel, glad I found it. @@MrDarcy-OlMan

[@colinoz]

Further to this, I was hoping the eliminators would sound better as you 'eliminate' the extra steps of placing heat shields on the mufflers themselves, which you have to do for the twin slash?

Hi Gents, I recently discovered your channel when looking for a review of the new fatboy, for the obvious reason of "how does it ride" when compared to its super model looks (no different to real life really, supper models aren't always the best rides). I love the channel and now a big fan working my way through all your videos. My only quip if there is to be one, is all bikes reviewed are great, for instance I owned an Indian scout which I loved for all the reasons you hit on the head on your review but then in a few reviews later you mentioned inferior quality finish against HD and reliability issues. I don't mean to be critical but I want to buy every bike you review so hoping for a more honest and brutal review of each model, maybe set star rating benchmark parameters etc so we can decide what we like as a rider, either that or I will have to get a bigger garage to fit all the bikes In :) Sorry guys not a criticism, I love your vlogs and like your approach, only issue is I want a new fatboy or a triumph rocket3 gt and you made them both sound amazing.

Just got a 71plate HC (114) which is sitting with a stock exhaust, and liking the Eliminator 300 slip ons. Do you know whether they can just be installed to replace the factory ones, or does it need any adaptions done to compensate? Also, does it affect the warranty (as it's still under factory warranty for another 18 months)

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Hi buddy, with it being a 71 plate, if you’re in the UK or Europe they put extra CO2 sensors in the rear as well as the front (this is not the same in America). So you would need to change the air filter and do a stage 1 tune whether it be diag 4 or Vance and Hines fuel pak 4. This tune turns the rear sensors off and means you can unplug them. In regards to warranty you’d have to check with the dealer but it shouldn’t void anything, Harley are very pro customisation.

[@Doovde69]

Hey there @@MrDarcy-OlMan, so I went into my local HD dealership and , made some enquiries. They advised me any 'change to the powertrain' would void the HD warranty, unless the dealerhship fit the parts and do the tune-up, and I'd need a different filter, V&H 300's and Don Performance tune up.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Hi vin, it’s got a diag 4 tuner and an air filter upgrade. Certainly no loss of performance. You’ll have to use one of the tuners to get around the sensors, you’ll need an FP4 if you want the Vance and Hines one. There’s some others out there.

Haha yes! The sound of sheep again! Triumph are giving us a long term loan of a Speedmaster, and of course we have the enduro bike. After that we shall see 👍🏼

Baaaaa, not a green laner myself unless it's a ride on my mountain bike in the local forest.

[@maddogmorgan1]

What have they made you put on your bikes for number plates? Look more like taxiway marking signs for Heathrow Airport!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes the UK gov are thick as sh*t

[@TigerDavidson]

Contrary to what seems to be the popular opinion here, I think the twin slash sound WAY better Darcy. More “like a Harley.”

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Ol Man here - I agree too 👍🏼

[@UncleLongbeard]

both sounds great. end of story :D ... however 300's are a bit greater ;)

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

They certainly do! 👍🏼

[@pedroloureiro8975]

Can you please share how much did you pay Mr D? I have a 2021 Sport Glide that really needs a sound change. Do you know if both could fit the Sport Glide? Thanks

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

I don’t think you can get them for the sport glide as the standard front half of the pipe is 2 into 1, if you want 2 into 2 you’d need to change the full system of you can get slip ons but it’s just 1 slip on. I recommend tab performance for the sport glide

[@pedroloureiro8975]

@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thanks!

[@jeffmaxwell8821]

I know, one of each.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes 👍🏼 yes

[@gunner9010]

I stuck some quiet baffles in my V&H Slash Cut exhaust. ($80 a pair) I can yell over the exhaust in my garage now.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Ahaha that makes a difference

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

@Adam Marsh I don’t think it needs them tbh. They aren’t overly loud as standard and they sound great! See how you get on with them

[@gunner9010]

@Adam Marsh The quiet baffles might have lowered it 10 decibels. I couldn't yell over it before at idle. Now I can, but it's still loud.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

@Adam Marsh Still sounds good 👍🏼👍🏼

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

I really don't like slash pipes. I do like the house.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks! Yes it’s a nice old place. Lots of work to do on it but getting there 👍🏼

[@gerardmontgomery280]

Both sound awesome Mr D but I'm sorry, those Eliminators are ona different level. There's just more of everything. I don't just mean volume, I mean definition. The bass grabs you by the balls and the high notes go right down your spine. This could be the displacement difference and the fact your bike has an A2 tune but from this it's the Eliminators I'd have when I order my own bike.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

They definitely are a different sound altogether, I love both!

[@juanz7908]

Hi I have a few questions. Do either of these slip on require tuning the bike? Do these make the bike run hotter? Why are the Eliminator more expensive? Thanks

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Not on the 114 but yes on the 107, because the 114 already comes with a free flowing air filter.No hotter, possibly cooler. Eliminator has more in it 👍🏼

[@Sholly97]

Please could you try to balance the sound levels out? I turned you up for the chat and got told off by my girlfriend when you started up your bike...

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Haha just like in the metal! We wanted to keep an even sound level to allow the differences to be heard.

[@Sholly97]

@@MrDarcy-OlMan that's fair enough! Would really need to hear them in person... 😉 When's the bike meet going to be?!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

@@Sholly97 Indeed. We may do something when Covid is more under control 👍🏼
