I do believe S&S makes a 50 state legal and EPA compliant 2 into 1 though..... could be wrong.

Just a bit of a info I got from Magnaflow for everyone watching the thread. I did reach out to them and asked if they had anything in the works for the 2018+ softails and they did reply that they are currently in Development/Testing phase of full systems and slip ons for all the softails. Really excited and intrigued by this, the Magnaflow pipes for the Twin Cams really had a deep and throaty note to them, almost muscle car-esque (go figure). Hoping that sound carries through on the new pipes.

No hard ETA at this time, but at least they are in the works! I'll keep everyone up to date with what I hear.

Thanks!

You're not wrong. They do make a 50 state EPA compliant version

Hopefully that will placate the “warranty police” parroting the same thing over and over around here.

At least look the exhaust up before making such a definite statement. No the S&S does not, it is 50 state EPA and CARB compliant which means it is EPA approved. Hell the exhaust even has EU certification.

I'm with you, they don't even get the full info before claiming warranty voiding.

.
Then you should probably read what I wrote then.

I said any NON EPA COMPLIANT, that is the qualifier here.

if it is EPA complaint, I'm sure harley wont care.
Please read the WHOLE post before trying to break apart someone's statement.
The whole point of your post is reliant on the fact that you left out the qualifier I made.
If its not EPA complaint, with a non EPA tuner, it's going to void your warranty.

If it is EPA compliant, and it has an EPA approved Tune, it's very likely to be all happy and fine with the MOCO.
Leaving out the quailifier I made, does not legitimize what you said. That's called Attacking the Straw-man, and it's a fallacy.

Not trying to tare any statement apart, just answering about the exhaust and this being the S&S 2:1 that was asked and quoted about will not void anything. The second sentence I agree with to a point.


Edit: Having the period makes it a definitive statement, a comma would have made it a qualifier to the beginning.

You did though. The qualifier is what matters. If the system is EPA compliant and the tune is EPA approved, my previous condition no longer applies.
To my knowledge at this point, checking the S&S site, S&S doesn't even make a 2 into 1 for the Fat Boy that I can purchase, and they do make a few sets of EPA and Non EPA compliant slip ons.(nothing I can buy right now is a 2 into 1 for the fat boy.)
OP's intent is about exhaust in GENERAL, not just the 2 into 1, and considering the fact that they are likely to not just look at S&S, the point of my comment is to get them to narrow down their search to specifically EPA compliancy if they want to maintain their warranty.
Most people will be able to extrapolate, "Oh but this does say 50state legal, therefor Harley MOCO will probably be ok with it."

But in the same regard, the TUNE is also important, if they get a 50 state EPA pipe, and then they get a FP3, or PowerVision, and start tuning away, neither are EPA approved and Harley, depending on the dealer, will be happy with it.
The tuner is more important to the grey area of warranty.
A non harley approved tuning location, or tuning device likely is going to put a red flag on the powertrain, and "But my exhaust is 50 state legal" is likely not going to fly with Milwaukee.

It's all good, I was just following the conversation.

Removal of the qualifier is a fallacy. Please stop.
