Great to see that collector box removed from the bike. The bike looks so much better and now spiders have a new home to practise making baby spiders :)
My V&H just shipped today. I have the same bike and color here in Tennessee Daily rider from an average 100-150 miles a day for my job. Rain, Sleet, or Snow I will GO😉
@@grayghost1423 When I first put the quick-release sport bags back on, it rubbed a little. I loosened the bracket bolts & pushed the muffler in as far as it would go & re-tightened. Not a problem sense! Sounds great, runs great.
Thanks for watching. Even though the instructions say to take the center stand off, I didn’t think it was necessary. Unfortunately, the one bolt that holds the resonator on is behind the right side foot control. And in order to get the foot control off, you have to remove the center stand from that foot control.
Hi, thanks for watching. I’m sure the wait will be over soon. I think this motor is a turning point for Harley and it will become their next big thing.
Hi. Just purchased a Pan America and found your channel. The Vance and Hines looks good and I like the sound. Do you get any backfire? Any negatives as far as how the bikes runs since the change. thanks
Thanks for wathing. This is just a slip on exhaust and retains the factory catalytic converter so there is no backfire. It still retains enough back pressure and the computer can compensate for the better airflow. When coupled with the Screaming Eagle intake it really opens it up. No negative effects unless you consider the added noise, but thats the reason why we change the exhaust in the first place, right?
Wow, I didn’t like the look, which is why I went the Screaming Eagle exhaust, but this sound is much better than mine. I did end up pulling my spark resistor out which made mine sound much better, especially on a downshift. It doesn’t look bad in this video on your bike. It didn’t look so good in the parts catalog. Nice!
Thanks. I’ve been running it now for a few months and it has gotten a little throatier with time and also after I added the screaming eagle air filter. I’m happy with it.
@@retiredbiker I’ve only got 1700 miles on mine. I’ve only had touring bikes so it’s a big change for me but I like it. I may look at the air filter as well!
All you can do is loosen it up and twist it around until it doesn’t hit it. And even then it will probably make contact when riding rough terrain. I never really found the perfect placement
Nice video, very informative. I was thinking of getting this one or the variable exhaust from Aeedea (not yet released) but before that I am planning to just remove the resonator box and install a midpipe straight to the stock muffler. Let's see if that sounds good, if yes then I wont upgrade otherwise either the variable or the vance.
@@grayghost1423 no codes or any other problems. The stock computer learns (within limits) the new parameters as long as the converter isn’t removed. This is just a slip on muffler.
@@retiredbiker yes it is, but being a new engine it was a concern for me. My Streetglide ST has slipons with 0 issues, as all of the M8s I had did not, but the twin cams liked a tuner after small mods to the intake or exhaust. Thanks for answering and the video.
Have u tried soft bags with this exhaust? I’m wondering if with soft bags, the sag of the soft bag will rest on the exhaust and perhaps could potentially burn the bag. Just wondering because I see the pipe goes straight back, pretty far back.
I’m running Mosko Moto Backcountry panniers now with it and they don’t come close to the exhaust. But they have a backing plate. I know the HD soft bags require an extra piece to keep them off the exhaust.
I had to adjust it a few times but I’ve managed to gain about .25” space. I heard somebody had said they added a rubber spacer to the stand to get clearance.
@@jbcamaro123 it’s just a matter of twisting that mid pipe to find the right angle that clears everything. And once it’s been tightened once, it’s harder to twist it. There is a sweet spot and I’m sure you’ll find it. I love the sound of it.
Have you noticed any "lean-surging" after installing the V&H on your bike? (Surging at cruising speeds with no load) I'm experiencing surging with mine after the install; the dealer said it sounded like the problem was related to the pipe install and would need a tune, which they don't do.
@@retiredbiker Mine still has the cat too, but I'm still getting the surging. I went with the V&H because it supposedly wouldn't need anything after swapping the pipes. I may have to get a tuner if it bugs me enough. Thanks for the reply!

Hello Braas Bruuhs bro
My V&H just shipped today. I have the same bike and color here in Tennessee
Daily rider from an average 100-150 miles a day for my job. Rain, Sleet, or Snow I will GO😉
Definitely gonna get this!! Just got my PA yesterday.
sure u did shirley sure
Got mine 6 weeks ago. Loving it.
Had one on both my 21 and 22 and they’re to load. Screaming Eagle with baffle removed is the perfect tone
Wow that pipe sounds amazing man!
Thank You and thanks for watching. I'm pretty happy with it still.
I found this same exhaust but in black. Installing soon. Love the sound and thanks for another great install video.
Great video. Thank you for not making me watch you open a box. Unboxing videos are a waste of time. The bike sounds great. LFL
Sounds great, looks fine. Just what the PA needs.👍😎
Hi, thanks for watching. I like it. It’s not too loud but loud enough to hear it.
Deciding between this and the two bros
I dont have any experience with Two Bros but I'm happy with V&H
Beautiful sound, I just bought me a pan am and will be installing this exhaust. tks for the info.
Got the same exhaust...LOVE IT.
I just ordered it. Any issues?

Awesome video, thank you for all that info, very informative. The exhaust sounds great!
Hi, thanks for watching. I hope it helped.
Nice video 👊🏽😎 I got the same on my bike and I agree it is not very loud .

Niceeeee, sounds good. Michigan when 😊
I’m my goodness that bike sounds freakin awesome.
How much you think that resonator weights?
Better than stock! Now I wish they made one for the Sportster S.
Hi, thanks for watching. I’m sure the wait will be over soon. I think this motor is a turning point for Harley and it will become their next big thing.
I would hope for a shock first.
Sounds good I just bought a pan am yesterday I think I’m gonna order that pipe.
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with it.

I didn’t notice any big improvement with the filter. I just figured I’d change it when I had the tank off to do the 5000 mile service.
sounds great. Would it wake up the neighbours coming home at night?
Not unless they are really light sleepers. It’s not that loud.
Hi great video, i had the same problem the pipe touching the center stand, how do you fix that problem? Thanks for your help
All you can do is loosen it up and twist it around until it doesn’t hit it. And even then it will probably make contact when riding rough terrain. I never really found the perfect placement
Are you still liking the V&H exhaust? I need to change mine from stock.
@@1ronhall I no longer own this bike
Do you have to bring it to the dealer to pay for telhe sucker turning?
@@CrayzJohnny no tuning required. It slips on after the CC

Did it work?
@@HashAssettyeah I removed the resonator box (underbelly silencer) . It has added some grunt but not much however heat has reduced.
A simple question:need remapping control unit?
No remapping is required
I just ordered my pipe yesterday. Can you tell ant difference in performance or fuel economy?
Yeti Can, I like it and will use that.
I couldn’t tell the difference but it did alleviate some of the heat on my right foot.
@@retiredbiker but no codes or engine issues?

What phone holder are you running?
Use stock clamp from Harley way better and add bigger rubber stop on center stand or will hit pipe when center stand is up.
Does the Vance and Hines muffler rev out much faster that the stock exhaust that took off?
The performance gain is minimal and isn’t noticeable
Do you have much clearance between mid pipe and centerstand? My mid pipe pretty well rests on centerstand.
I had to adjust it a few times but I’ve managed to gain about .25” space. I heard somebody had said they added a rubber spacer to the stand to get clearance.
Ok I'll tweak it and see what I can get

@@retiredbiker Vance and Hines has a instalation video that's handy to watch too, although this gentleman did a nice job.
Do you feel much low-end loss with the Vance and Hines exhaust vs the stock exhaust?
For better or worse, I fell no performance changes at all. But It has been on the bike for a while now and I may have just gotten used to it.

No I haven’t. Considering the cat wasn’t removed it doesn’t need tubing
@@retiredbiker Mine still has the cat too, but I'm still getting the surging. I went with the V&H because it supposedly wouldn't need anything after swapping the pipes. I may have to get a tuner if it bugs me enough. Thanks for the reply!
@@jonathansilver4448 I’d take it back to the dealer and get the latest software updates. That may cure the issue

Does this Vance and Hines two into one drone very much when cruising at 75-80 mph?
Not in my opinion. It isn’t loud at all.
@@retiredbiker ----> On a scale of 1-10 for loudness what number would you rate the loudness at 75-80 mph on a steady cruise?
@@amphibdriver1 maybe 5. its not that loud at all
@@retiredbiker ---> Thanks for the reply.
Tuner needed?
No tuner needed as the catalytic converter is in the head pipe.
@@retiredbiker you are 💯 % correct
No birds were harmed in the making of this video…err… disregard last transmission over..
