Got the road rage mega power pipes on after cursing Daryl Bassini for making me shuffle these head pipes around for 20 minutes. really easy install otherwise.... the directions were worthless.
pipes appeared
......... no more shacks
blah blah
1/2 way there
pulled the old gaskets, shoved in new ones
took the opportunity to move the charging lead.
worst part of the whole job... getting the headpipes to sit right and the flanges on.
i used the the powervision map "12D103002405 Year: 2012-2016 Model: Dyna Switchback SE/Air Cleaner, V&H ProPipe 2-1" since it was closest to my set up, did 3 varied auto-tune runs. by the 3rd, the bike was smooth. still some popping on decel but, i will keep at it over the weekend. i can't prove a single thing out side of the butt dyno but, i feel the power, lol outstanding pipes, sound f***ing great!
obligatory wetting
black heat shields and endcap have to go...........no question. i'm not for the blacked out look.
Looks good. When you did the pipe did you by chance go with the crushed-style gaskets? I had a hell of a time with getting the headpipe on the first time using the stock-style gaskets. The screamin eagle ones worked muuuch better. Just a thought. Changed mine to when one of the circlips shifted and started causing an exhaust leak...second time around getting the headpipe on with the different gaskets was much easier.

When I put on the RR3 I purchased those SE gaskets and tried to use them with no luck whatsoever, couldn't get a flush fit. I ended up reusing the stock gaskets and don't seem to have any leaking.

Weird...had nothing but issues with the stock ones. Wonder if it's a difference between the RR3 and the RR2?

yes sir!
i used screaming eagle gaskets. they go right in with no probs if you clean all the old gasket out. they just sit there and behave no jumping out and shifting
Jumping out and shifting? They must have changed something since 99. My exhaust gaskets are a graphite/aluminum matrix and a press fit into the head. They're a pain to install, but they ain't goin' NOWHERE once in. I've heard freezing them helps but Ive never tried it. I prefer to fight and cuss, I guess.

i fought gaskets a few times. if you get to many hits in, you loose. i use oil to get them in when i put the grenades on my sportster.
