im thinking about upgrading from my screaming eagle slipons to a set of bassani pro-street pipes and an indy dealer quoted me 130 for install...now how hard is it realistically? im a pretty mechanical person and feel like i can probabley do it myself. i have an 03 FXD

 

If you've got the right tools, parts & some mechanical know-how - exhaust install isn't bad at all. I just swapped my stock header & Rinehart pipes this weekend w/Bub-7 true duals. Chipped away at the project over two nights, but nice feeling of satisfaction when complete. Few things to consider:

- Need torque wrench for new pipes & socket swivel for exhaust flange bolts
- Get new exhaust gaskets & clamps, if new system doesn't supply
- Use high-temp silicone (copper) between pipes & header to ensure good seal w/no leaks
- Wipe down new pipes before starting so you don't blemish

I say go for it & post some pics when complete.
