Vance & Hines Twin Slash 3"slip ons and how they sound on my Harley Davidson Iron 1200

This video is a comparison between the stock exhaust and the Vance & Hines Twin Slash 3" Slip ons on my 2019 Harley Davidson Iron 1200. What a difference Vance & Hines is incredible!!!

[@HardRockFairytale]

Going to roll my 2019 Iron 883 out of the garage on april 1st. I have the exact same slip ons hence me watching the video. The bike sounds amazing! the awesome thing about the Harley sound is that I don't "need" to rev my bike to make it sound good. I can't get enough of that "out-of-sync" idle with the Twin Slash. Descelleration sounds killer as well, lots of babbling without the crazy descell popping :D Can't wait to hear my bike in person in 3 weeks time :D Grats on the new exhaust! Keep the shiny side up, stay vigilant and keep that smile on your face! :D Cheers from Denmark

Sounds really good!! Love that sound

[@TheEricHart]

Just bought me some today for my xl1200c should be the same difference in sound! Can't wait until they install them next week!

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

GamerHart you will love them. Such a difference from stock!!! Ride Safe

[@426Hemiroadrunner]

Carl they sounded great. I love that sound they produce. Stay safe brother.

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Thanks for checking it out. Its so sad that these things have to be delivered with their voices muffled!!!

Those vance are monstrous!!! ❤️

[@vitoraimondi2626]

Sounds great!! Thanks for sharing Carl!!

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Thanks for Subscribing and watching my channel hopefully lots more content to come. I am going to try and release a video every Friday at 2:45 eastern time zone. Editing a ride video now for Friday. Good luck with your bike all the upgrades are worth it. StaySafe!!

@@MotorcyclingwithCarl Do you have to do a tune with those slip ons only?

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Bronco2Cj No. If you just do the slip ons you do not need to tune. That is what the dealer told me.

[@georgecatalin138]

Only the Evo Sportster can compliment any exhaust !

I so can’t wait for spring!!!!

Just bought these and installed them today, my god the video does no justice to these pipes. (I have the white version 1200)

Dakota they sound awesome I should make a new video now that I updated my filming equipment

[@oscarmanuelperezmoreno720]

Amazing Sound!!!

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Vance and Hines is awesome. This is the way the bike should sound out of the dealership!!!!!! For not replacing the whole exhaust its perfect

[@kevingomez2048]

I love the sound!!! Quick question, is your speedometer displaying your rpm???

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Yes it has a small digital display that says what gear you are in and the rpm

[@kevingomez2048]

@@MotorcyclingwithCarl can I know, how did you do that?

Hi there I love you videos I just got my 2006 Harley 1200 I’m planning to get new exhaust the same of yours but in chrome can you provide the link where you’re purchased? Thanks

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

I actually bought it at my dealer. Thanks for watching and commenting enjoy the bike they are awesome

[@godsduality2229]

Good video. I just ordered them for my new low rider s. Seems like a good choice. Stock exhaust are too quiet, love my bike, but it sounds like a vespa coming down the road now. Haha

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

GodsDuality yep stock exhaust is awful nowadays. Good luck with the new bike!!! Hope you enjoy my videos.

@@MotorcyclingwithCarl I did man thanks. That was the first one I've seen. I like it informative and right to the point. Thanks. Nice bike too by the way. How you like the iron 1200?

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

GodsDuality I love it but it is not the best for longer trips. I would love to put a second bike in my garage for that!!! I was only going to ride around town but since I started riding again Its all I think about and do

[@godsduality2229]

@@MotorcyclingwithCarl gotcha. Ya i love this low rider s. The power is crazy. But i have to do a few things to it to make it more comfortable for longer trips too

[@vitoraimondi2626]

Hi Carl - Question re your exhaust..did you contemplate the V&H twin slash slip ons vs the short shots? If you did, why did you choose the slip ons? I am thinking if I go with the twin slash slip ons...I may also purchase the buckshot heat shields. Be safe and look forward to your next video!

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

I didn’t think the sound was to much different and it is a lot less work. I also like the look of the longer pipes. I do agree the buckshots look cool!!!!

[@vitoraimondi2626]

Thank you Carl...I'm actually thinking the same thing!!

[@joansomme]

Wonderfull to ear it!!

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

They do sound sweet. Thanks for checking it out. Hope you enjoy all my videos.

[@meisterraul]

Are they more silent than the short shots? I have short shots big radius and they are killing my ears

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

They are pretty loud also. I have a helmet with Bluetooth for music and I don’t even bother on my Harley because I can’t hear it.

[@meisterraul]

@@MotorcyclingwithCarl Nice

[@Calisexpensive]

Love the bike

[@Exeaxity]

Did u do a tuner or just the slip ons

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

When I first did the slip ons I did not tune. When I added the Hi-Flo air filter I added the FP3 fuelpak and tunned it. My Harley dealership said no tune needed just with slipons but if you do the air cleaner it’s needed. Just ask your dealer

[@Exeaxity]

@@MotorcyclingwithCarl ok cool cause I still have a 3 year warranty I recently bought the bike new and just bought the same exhaust as u i was gonna add the vance and hines fp3 but heard it voids warranty ??? Does harley do the tunes if I purchase the slip on and hi airflow

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

@@Exeaxity Yes everything I heard is that the FP3 will void the warranty on the engine. But not sure exactly what parts it voids. I rolled the dice and am taking the risk I only have a 2 year warranty thats over in April. I would talk to your dealership they probably do but like everything else get your wallet out. I would have considered the screaming eagle tuner that doesn’t void your warranty but its not Mac compatible and doesn’t work with your smartphone you need to hook up a laptop. Best suggestion check with your dealer. Come back and let me know what they say and what it costs if you look into it. By the way the slip ons make the bike sound awesome you will love them. You’re bike will actually sound like a Harley

[@69FOSTER]

@@MotorcyclingwithCarl Another informative video that covers questions I had! I have a 2018 Sportster 48 and purchased V&H slip-ons, but they've not been installed because I haven't decided on how to go about adding a tuner. The easy way would be to go to a Harley dealer and have them install a Screaming Eagle tuner to go with the slip-ons or get an FP3, but would need to find someone to program it. My question: when you had the slip-ons without the tuner, how did your Harley sound? Was there decel "popping?"

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

It ran and sounded great. It did have some decel popping but I actually thought it sounded pretty cool. It wasn’t terrible.

[@ryderisboss]

Are these with the baffles that came with the pipes or are these the competition baffles?

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

Ryder Leach its the baffles that came with the pipes. I love the sound!

[@Inspironline]

If I bought these for my Iron 1200 would I need to buy a fuel pack as well or will the bike be just fine without it/not be damaged?

[@MotorcyclingwithCarl]

I am not a Harley Mechanic but my dealer told me if you only put the slip ons on the bike you do not need to tune o2 sensors can compensate. But if you put a high flow air filter you will have to tune. I ran my bike with just the slip ons and no tuner. It was fine just a little decel pop. When I put the high flow filter on I bought the tuner.
