Vance and Hines Eliminator 400 for Harley Davidson Touring

Kove Speaker at 65% off kovespeakers.co...
The Vance and Hines Eliminator 400s are a great choice for Harley Davidson touring mufflers. I didn't tune this bike, but just gave it a deeper tone with the quick and easy install.

John your acting career has really taken off. You have a stunt double now (Travis) to do the dangerous stuff! Very cool.

[@topskullz3167]

John, A video suggestion. Can you go over the different cam options and possibly the different stages for the Harley models and the improvements they make for the different bikes......

[@thrashmarky]

I second this!

[@tomlazzara6193]

Yes please.. Lets hear about the Cams.

[@ryanmoore2779]

Yes I concur

[@adamsandoval]

Always fun to catch your videos! 🇺🇸

[@richardhall744]

I put them 400's on my Street glide a few weeks ago, lov'em

[@jondoe8816]

Richard Hall did you need to retune

[@timmurphy2825]

I went with the V&H Eliminator 400s for my M8. I really, really like them. I have had louder pipes before but after 30 mins, shit gets on my nerves plus on my SGS, I wanted to hear my sound system. Has a good deep sound, low at idle but comes alive when you roll-on then levels out, makes the guys notice and the girls wet. If I had a bar-hopper or performance type bike, I would go louder & obnoxious but for touring where I am going long distances and want to enjoy my stereo, I will keep running with the V&H 400s. Hope that helps in making a decision.

[@coloradokid1346]

Thanks John. I really like to hear the difference on stock and VH pipes. Merry Christmas John. Hope you and your family have a great holiday. Looking forward to some more great videos from you in 2019.

[@abridgetohope]

They do sound pretty nice.

[@lsmith2129]

I didn't notice much difference but like you said can't really tell on the video , I got neighbor haters on now and none of my neighbors complain so this month putting on Vance and Hines big radius short turn downs and a stage one up grade . Every body have a nice Christmas.

[@donsvideos1985]

Got my Kove going now. I got it via your channel link before.. Great speaker!!

[@ryanmoore2779]

Don Lucero yup same here, it ROCKS

[@chrissaguaro7793]

Tab Performance Zombie Baffles are where it's it. Way louder than any Vance and Hines. Swapped out my V&H 400's for TB. No regrets

[@wesseis7153]

The stock exhaust actually sounded better. But I sometimes don't hear that good. Love your youtub!

[@topskullz3167]

Literally just ordered one of those speakers, from $200.00 to $85, yeah i'll take it.....Thanks John......oh and great sounding exhaust.......thinking about those now for my 18 Electra glide.....

[@billiondollardan]

Alright, dude. I love that I got a deal on that speaker. I've been thinking about buying a new one and you sold me, man.

[@drewyager4020]

Just took out my Wicked Red Fatbob for a cold wet ride around Seattle with the V&H slip ons. Nice sound

[@kenjohnson8752]

The pipes I got for my 2018 Road Glide Ultra! Excellent sound and plenty loud!

[@hj1smith]

That flat paint is pretty sweet to goo with the sound. Pow, Merry Christmas

[@nbt3663]

Merry Christmas Maxwell! Looking forward to a bunch new videos in 2019!

[@injectorrick3700]

We just installed the flat black ones. HATE THEM! They scratch so easy. We touched them up with header paint. Costumer was satisfied. That's what counts. See Ya!

[@reddog907]

Travis reminds me of elf on a shelf. Merry Christmas to you John and all your good friends at HD.

[@davestuart1581]

Hate to say it, but I liked the stock mufflers better... More of a bass rumble to it!!!!

[@cajuncruiser5859]

Thanks for the Kove discount! I received mine a few days ago and this thing is amazing. Great sound!!

[@IR_Chaz]

The Kove speaker is a decent purchase-I bought mine from the last sponsored video code. Just not crazy about the touch sensitive skip controls on the end that you have to swipe.

[@Sportybob]

Love the morning upload

[@markgant]

Got a question for you. By replacing the stock headers and getting rid of the cad will the bike sound better and even have some extra power? 2017 Ultra Limited with stage 3 Screamin Eagle. Crap sound in my opinion. Looking for a better option once warranty is over.

[@TrippHPjunkie]

Your thumbnail is epic......cool video John....👍👍👍

[@jwalter75]

I love the denim red paint!

[@redrider0151]

Man I really like the new sound system! Wish I could justify it...thats a sharp looking bike all around!

[@robertlumsden942]

sort of nice to be slow this time of year. you can organize things like your tools etc. plus think of new video's. I hope 2019 is great for you and the channel. I look forward to these. merry Christmas man.

[@iancampbell6191]

Nice..... I love the outtakes at the end of every video.... good job!!

[@iceman7262]

Once again a great video, wish you a merry Christmas. I have a question for you, what do you think of DP clutches for Harleys I have a 2018 street glide special. And been hearing a lot of good reviews about the DP clutches. Was wondering what your thoughts were. Thanks and have a safe day.

[@jlc904ubc]

Great video John! Happy holidays to you and your family!

[@1550tc]

John thanks for all the videos this past year....happy holidays to you and crew at work and your family 🍺🍺🌮🌮🌮🍷🍷

[@LoneAmigo17]

Put the 300s on my breakout great sound and look in chrome

[@gwattsjr]

Nothing beats the sound of a full exhaust. What’s the deal with all the talk of not being able to install header pipes on a M8 engine without voiding your warranty?

[@mixedgas2]

Love that color!

[@jmoskaly1]

John My question to you is can the governor on my 2017 SG CVO Stage IV get off...? My driving style isn't from light to light, but rather Hwy and Distance, but I must add I don't want to lose my dependability she gives me on my travels. Got to love retirement. Sorry John

[@talkingrock7011]

I prefer the carbon fiber on the Reinhart mufflers and the stock 19 mufflers sound great compared to the 16 TFTV

[@bryanwallace3347]

Just ordered my love audio thank you very much...

[@chrisphilhower6029]

Under Paid? Don't you mean, Unpaid Assistant? How does that Kove compare to JBL?

[@delbridge11l]

Hey bud. Do you have to tune for full exhaust. I just picked Vance and Hines. Power duals and blackout rounds. Everything I look at online seems to be mixed answers.

[@TheHarleyTech]

If it were my bike, I would tune it.

[@percebu2]

Love my V&H on my 14 Unlimited👍🏻

[@alfredogamboacoutino6992]

Hello friend, I have an issue with this Vance's 46714 exhaust model. I want to install it on my 2023 Road King Special, but the right exhaust doesn't align with the bike's exhaust; the Vance's exhaust is larger in size. Have you encountered this problem? Is there any adapter available?

[@petertrapani8701]

John thanks for the great vlog on the Vance and Hines slip on’s. Be Cool and Ride Safe🇺🇸🏍🎅🏻

[@user-rw3kq3kt2e]

I've changed the manifold gasket on my Vance& Hines dual exhaust and it still leaks. Everything is tight. Have a question about the pipe that goes into the head. There are three parts that move on the pipe. Are they all supposed to move?

[@LoKi6922]

Love your channel John! Thanks for everything. I had these installed at the dealer before I took delivery of my 19 RKS. It’s got bad decel pop/backfire. Is that normal without a tune for slipons and no air cleaner?

[@waynesiminski8268]

Like the pundits of those V&H 400’s. Those don’t affect the warranty? Thought the a-hole Moco only would cover if SE parts used. Another great video. Thanks John

[@waynesiminski8268]

Pundits? I typed sound. WTF

[@ryanchandler1776]

Hey John. Thanks for the great video. Got my Kove on the way. Thanks for the discount code. Merry Christmas!

[@TheHarleyTech]

Merry Christmas!

[@josephpierce162]

How long does the discount code last

[@TheHarleyTech]

It should still be good

[@mzi03731]

How did you like the sound of those? Going to be putting on a Tri Glide.

[@ralstin101]

i still like the sound of the v&h big shots long exhaust, good wake the neighborhood sound😂

[@motorizedmisfit-artist8535]

That speaker is nice! Dam I need one.

[@Vbeast]

VIDEO NEVER DOES IT JUSTICE. THAT COLOR THOUGH......NICE

[@FabryRock]

If I change only mufflers ( V&H eliminator 400 ) do I need to reprogram the efi tuning ? Thx

[@michaelmitchell5909]

What exhaust are you going with john?... Sorry if I missed that video man, been busy with the holiday and my 6 year old daughter!..... Merry Christmas bro...

[@odetterollinson-davies4543]

Hey John, Here’s something I’d like to know- I see lots of bikes getting exhausts/mufflers, even brand new at the dealers having v&h fitted so the question is, which brands/mufflers WONT invalidate your new bike warranty or must everything be screaming eagle?

[@paulsullivan931]

Hey John,those exhausts look good sounds great what more could you want 😃👍

[@leonpascos2284]

I think I like the stock sound better.

[@chasetherocknroll5144]

Another awesome Video, keep up the great work. Merry Xmas to you and your family.

Do you prefer the Eliminator over the Daytona, sound wise?

[@razzrasmussen5773]

Nice speaker, Can it mount to a motorcycle? Merry Christmas to you and yours! Nice pipes, I choose the Rhinehart pipes for my Roadking Special.

[@aldavis904]

Mr. Maxwell.....if you can and i always like to ask a professionals opinions....i want to throw on a stage 1 and maybe stage 2 at same time.....could you tell me what you would put on my breakout 17 grey denium....at least the stage 1 and thank you.....i got tampa harley doing work.....thanks man 👊🙏🇺🇸

[@jeremymacklem2510]

New video! Yes!!!

[@20MAC20]

Hey John, don't you guys have CFR slip ons out your way??? they have a great sound.

[@tntstudios6527]

Hey john love the channel. Been watching like crazy. Just wanted to ask you a tech related question about a 1996 harley davidson 1200xl custom

[@bigmike7939]

I love that bike!!!

[@qf76mnd15]

They sound completely different in person, people still don't understand you can't judge the sound on your computer or phone.

[@TheHarleyTech]

They sound pretty different in my head phones, too. I didn’t think about how many folks watch on mobile.

[@jacquesyoung7010]

Merry Christmas sound is subjective and I think the stock pipes sounded better. were there any power gains with the swap

[@therealkarkus]

Still haven't heard any pipes that sound better then TAB performance b.a.m. sticks w/ zombie baffles or the SVT Boneshakers

[@bav114]

I’m worried about the zombie baffles being too loud. Have you heard any with the 2.5” baffles?

[@razgriz814]

Automatic like for the Baby it's cold outside intro.... now I'll finish the video lol

[@JC-ul2ti]

Hey John would you recommend installing a cat delete pipe?

[@telace1]

Have you ever installed the Vans & Hines 30+ horsepower kit. If so what are your thoughts is it worth the money or am I better off buying 1 of harleys stage and the exhaust separately

[@2bad1]

Nice bike

[@johnfriesen3277]

Great videos. Just curious if knocking your cats out will benefit you in performance or just sound?

[@TheHarleyTech]

I’m curious, too. I want to play with the SE mufflers I put in my own bike and check it on the dyno. So stay tuned.

[@lorenczak]

Would a 4.5" pipe fit under those stretched bags?

[@anthonywarren1845]

This video doesn't do those pipes any justice. I have those pipes on my bike, but I also have the power duals head pipe, and man what a difference!!!

[@281sTravel]

He sung "Baby it's cold outside". 😮. Lmao

[@daveclark3600]

what is the point to buying these? difference is minimal

[@TheHarleyTech]

I thought even in the video you could hear that V&H has a “crack” to it when you rev the engine it’s considerably deeper on the go pro audio, too. I thought so anyway. they sound much better in person than video, for sure. I don’t owe Vance and Hines anything! If they sucked, I would tell ya!

[@andreww.7658]

@@TheHarleyTech they sound different with my setup. much more of a "crack" on the decel. and a bit more of a rumble than factory. better sound without being simply loud.

[@pmdinaz]

Dave, for what it's worth I would try headphones when listening to the comparison. Huge difference in audio

[@TheRomas86]

Hey john my new flfbs is super hard to get into neutral....any tips Harley tech!!!

[@natemiller1392]

John - looking for some advice on slip-ons. Got a 18 Softail Sport Glide earlier this year and I'm tired of it sounding like a sewing machine. I'm looking at TAB Performance and Cobra. Thoughts? I looked at Screaming Eagle and holy crap $$$ expensive. Any other recommendations? And do I need a fuel tuner for just a slip on? Thanks!!! Ride safe out there!

[@dino5254]

I have the 18 Sport Glide with the Tab Performance slip-on zombie baffles. You don’t need a tuner but after a month I got bored and picked up Vans n Hines FP3 tuner.

[@MrMok621]

Hey do you know how good are the 4” Reinharts pipes are on a street glide ?

[@gucci4871]

I've got those imo they're great loud but not obnoxious.

[@ryanmoore2779]

Don’t waste your time, just buy a Thunderheader!

[@anthonyfsenioraf7804]

I just put them on my 2018 Roadglide Ultra along with the SEPST and high flow air cleaner, bike runs perfect, much better than the stock setup. And the Rinehart Slip-On mufflers sound nice, definitely not to loud but performance wise it’s running excellent.

[@splodge5714]

Couldnt hear much difference and can't even see them on the bagger. Hope they didn't cost too much.

[@jameswiththegermanshepherd6628]

I like the looks but I’m still wanting to hear the D&D’s...

[@TheHarleyTech]

I’ll keep my eye out for a set

[@kennethlaw5216]

hard to tell the sound of the Vance and Hines on this video. But I have heard D&D's before. they can't even compare to the sound of V&H

[@sworley114]

John, can you tell me if your dealership has a long waiting list for the clutch recall? Because, the dealership I purchased my 2018 RKS is telling me the waiting list is long and their only getting in a few replacements at a time. I hope you can shed some light on this.

[@TheHarleyTech]

Yes. I mentioned that in my recall video. We get a handful of kits a week with a list up to about 100 now

[@TheHarleyTech]

No, they’re still going strong.

[@scottgorman7166]

From 30 ft away! Take 3!!!!!!

[@monteilfluker3608]

Did you do a tuner

[@jerrypeevey]

Would love to get some "louder than stock" pipes for my 2018 Fat Bob. BUT in the nanny State of California I am seeing signs all over the place about this noise ordinance thing. I am sure some snowflakes are running for safe places when they hear me coming as it is but it would be nice if there was some info on decibels from these cooool after market pipes. The dealers around here can't even install them. You have to meet a guy in a dark ally at night to get performance around here. Love the vids John, make the way you like too ! they will watch :

[@patrickbrown9496]

Do you have to add anything else to a new 19 RGS when doing Slip on’s?

John are you guys flat rate at your shop? If so do you have a guarantee for the slow months when you're not making time?

[@TheHarleyTech]

We aren’t flat rate. We’re hourly + billed hour commission. That pay scale keeps us from starving, but we definitely make less money during the winter!

[@SonicH6265]

John I bought my neighbors street glide standard and I was wondering if I could change the infotainment out to the specials? I’m wondering if the wiring has to be changed or if it’s possible.

[@TheHarleyTech]

You can change it. It just needs a “flash” from the dealer to work

[@SonicH6265]

Thank you! I didn’t expect to hear from you so soon... This is my first Harley and I love it! 17 street glide velocity red and it has a stage 1 kit and some more extras. 3k miles and was taken care of.... just can’t say enough about it.... your videos is the reason I have it so thank you for that!

[@ryancaraballo9518]

hey john, live the videos and information. question for you? would you recommend these slipons with the screaming eagle headers. also have the screaming eagle tuner. can you help a brother out. thanks in advance

[@TheHarleyTech]

The only muffler to work with the SE header is the SE muffler. They made them different sizes so that they aren’t interchangeable. Trying to keep the EPA happy I suppose!
