I had my dealer install this system in the brushed finish immediately before I took possession of my 2023 Low Rider ST. It looks NASCAR and sounds NASCAR. One plus is the spacer, that combined with my Joker Machine Serrated Long rider pegs. The combination of the two allows for a wider stance clearing your right knee from the stock heavy breather. Beautiful bike, great job and be safe out there!
@@aaronvandewesterlo6078 I would make an inquiry. If you’re looking to space that right peg out a bit I’m sure it wouldn’t take any more than a small block of billet aluminum, two holes and longer bolts?
Thanks for the video! Super helpful as I’m on the same bike and looking to install very similar pipes. I wonder if the exhaust ports weren’t seated flush because you didn’t end up using the V&H port gaskets and went with the bigger ones from Harley?
That's not a bad observation. I would hesitate to use the ones I accidentally bought though when comparing them with the general parts number but that's just me.
Just a heads up. Any time you pull the exhaust you need to replace the exhaust gaskets. 0 miles or 50,000 miles doesn't matter, because they are single use.
For sure. I saw some other people say you can check to see if you have to but I never thought that made sense. Even if you could get away with it, they're so cheap so why not just replace them right?
Hi Warren, thanks again for your amazing video! Keep up the good work. I really want to purchase the same exhaust for my LRS, but I came across some negative comments about the exhaust. Some people were saying, that the exhaust starts bubbling and flaking off. Did you experience anything like that? Thank you in advance!
Nice pick on the exhaust. I have the stainless. I would recommend getting some security torx bits and removing the baffle to see if you like the tone. I did it to mines now the baffle hangs on the garage wall.
Oh nice. I'm doing a cam install at the moment and am curious to see how it changes the sound/volume of the exhaust. How did removing the baffle change things for you with this system?
The front oil cooler does not come all the way off but if you remove hardware from the mounting brackets it moves out of the way so you can get a straight shot at that front header bolt and I went through the same thing with the brake pedal and all that blue loctite from the factory it sucked
Ah good to know. I thought about trying that with the oil cooler but ended up finding a different tool that worked. Glad to hear I'm not alone in that struggle though, I really felt like a moron for a minute.
I'm actually planning on doing a long term review of the exhaust soon. Quick answer though is I love it. I added it pretty much right away when I got my bike so didn't really spend enough time on the stock system to notice any big power changes. I'm currently installing a cam which should make it sound even better though. My long term review video should be out in a month or two. Hope that helps. Enjoy!
@@Warren-Rides Thank you yes. Cam will make big differences in power in one way or another depending on the cam. I upped my HP/Torque like 30 or so with a cam on my 96ci back in the day so I can only imagine one on the 117. I'm staying clear of cams though for a good long while. Too much MPG loss. Way too much for me.
@@Warren-Rides So update I bought the pipes. They are on their way. I do like my Cobra NH but i've wanted this system so bad I just had to get it when I had the opportunity.
@@Warren-Rides Just installed the pipes today! Man it's just what I wanted. Run a bit hot though. Was feeling a little heat on the way home at night and only a 10min ride. I'm gonna probably add a custom heat shield from the shop I go to. Air Breather and Tuner asap. Waiting for install. Did you find one of those springs were loose? One on top are loose.
I elected not to tune it after just doing the exhaust. From what I gathered online, if you do either just a tune or just an exhaust you can get away without a tune. I had no issues, but I would say that if you think you might do intake and exahust, or even a stage II later on, you might as well buy the tuner now. I just recently finished my stage II where I did tune the bike and noticed the exhaust doesn't run as hot which is not only more pleasant but probably is a good inclination that, again while I didn't have any issues prior, it might not have been running "optimally". Hope that helps.
@@Warren-Rides I got this pipe in and installed (in stainless) and it's awesome! I appreciate your thoughts on this install, they were very helpful. For anyone reading these comments I'd like to say that bracket that pushes out your foot peg if you're running mids kinda ruins the lean angle if you're using stock length pegs. I've ordered shorter more performance-oriented pegs to fix that issue.
It is a PITA doing your own work. Even worse having a Harley dealer do it. In my experience, the Harley dealers are 100% scammers. Do the work yourself and the dealers will immediately claim voided warrantee. Dealers are in general losers that put that warrantee invalidation threat in their pocket like a gun. It is good to do your own work cuz quite frankly 99% of dealers don't know crap. They know $$$ and nothing more. My thinking has changed these past few months...I will not be intimidated by doing my own work. If I wreck the thing, it is only $3K for a "Squealing Eagle" replacement engine. Good for you to do it yourself. Dealers can kiss my hiney.

I usually always take pics before taking something apart especially if it’s my first time.
Always a great idea.

Where did you get the spacer?
@@aaronvandewesterlo6078 it came in the exhaust mounting hardware kit.
Aw damn, wonder if i could buy it seperatly?

Nice vid man keep em coming !
Thank you
Great video thank you for taking the time to make it!!!
Thank you, I appreciate the time you took to share your support!
Great sound! Happy for you)
Hi Warren, thanks again for your amazing video! Keep up the good work. I really want to purchase the same exhaust for my LRS, but I came across some negative comments about the exhaust. Some people were saying, that the exhaust starts bubbling and flaking off. Did you experience anything like that? Thank you in advance!
Hey there, thanks for the compliment. I'm guessing you mean the black version starts bubbling and flaking off? I haven't noticed that on mine at all.
Very informative video!
Hey thanks
Nice pick on the exhaust. I have the stainless. I would recommend getting some security torx bits and removing the baffle to see if you like the tone. I did it to mines now the baffle hangs on the garage wall.
Oh nice. I'm doing a cam install at the moment and am curious to see how it changes the sound/volume of the exhaust. How did removing the baffle change things for you with this system?
Nice. When I removed the baffle I felt like was running a little more powerful.
Great video, very detailed and thorough. Would you happen to have a part number for the gaskets?
Thank you. I picked up the correct gaskets from my Harley dealership, so unfortunately I don't have the part number saved anywhere.

Fine image quality, mate! What is your video setup on and off the bike? Keep going!
Hey thanks. I've been filming with my Canon R5. The next video going live on Sunday is about my GoPro setup, which is a Hero 11.
Sounds great what tune are you running?
Thanks Mark. I actually didn't do a tune at this point. Currently installing an S&S cam however and will be running a tune by Fuel Moto.
atta boy
Put this on my fxbb sounds absolutely amazing
Nice!
So after 9 months how do you like them? Do you lose any mid range power? What tuner are you using? I'm kinda obsessed with this exhaust system lol!

The EPA single-handedly killed what Harley was all about.
Nice Exhaust! what about Dino?
Hey did you have a problem to put the brake pedal back? It just doesnt fit now or im stupid
I added the spacer that came with the Vance & Hines so that the foot controls clear the new exhaust, but no problems for me.
Hey brother, have same exhaust want to mount forward controls on my ST where did you get the spacer from?
Nice! The spacer I used came with the exhaust.
Are you happy with the pipe
Very much.
This Vance Hines has the PCX technology?
How was putting in the rear 02 sensor? That wire looks tight
...
No issues. Just made sure not to strain the wires but I'd say it fit with a good balance of not too much tension and not too much slack.
@@Warren-Rides awesome thanks for the reply!
@@bikesandbeagles no problem. Good luck with your future installs.

Is this the pcx high flow 2into I
Yes sir.
$1400 for that exhaust and it doesn't come with $14 gaskets. I was not happy about that.
It would be nice if they were included I agree.

It’s not a GSXR. Put an exhaust on that thing.
Way too quiet ...take those baffles out !!
Just wondering why all of a sudden, so many white boys talk with that valley girl accent?
Do you need to tune the bike or anything when you install these
@@scott8233you should if you’re able yes. If you’re changing just the exhaust, you can get away without it, but if you do the air intake and exhaust then yes definitely.
