I appreciate all the responses....I had done some searching and found a bunch of stuff on warranty voiding, etc, but no clear consensus on whether the slip ons would cause my bike (with less than 1000 miles on it) any engine problems.

Is the "power commander" something that a shop would have to do? Would the dealer give me grief if they found it on the bike at the 1000 mile service?

I almost got run over yesterday on I-95 by some guy who didn't hear me as my stock exhaust is so silent, so I figured I'd better bite the bullet and start thinking of something louder.

 

Jaron,

I don't have the ability to send PM's yet, I guess....but YES, I'd love to see a picture when you get a chance.

 

Spending too much too fast led me to install Xieds from nightrider that gives your bike a richer mix to help compensate for the more free flowing exaust.
I also installed the K+N air filter element not the whole intake system
Just cheating a little here and there gives the bike a nice low cost no remap boost.
I would highly recomend the Xieds fro just under $100.00 just plug and play.
Easy to pop off if you need to see the dealer.
I do my own service so all stays on.

 

Here you go!! They are about 3 years old so they have the normal wear and tear, but nothing significant. I bought them off of a forum member shortly after I bought my bike a couple years ago. I also have the quiet baffles, but I removed the fiberglass packing to see if I would like the sound better. I ended up running the standard baffles. Sound much nicer IMO! I'll sell them for $125 shipped. Oh they are scratched on the side that meets with the header heat shield. Something you can't avoid no matter what. The header heat shield kind of sits over the beginning part of the heat shield on the slip ons. When it's on the bike you can't even notice.

 

Here they are on the bike!!




This was just last Sep!! I took them off in Dec or Jan I think.

 

I have both the V & H Slip-ons and Screaming Eagle air intake on my bike. My dealer told me that the slip-ons alone would run fine as the bike would adjust to the differance they created. Once i upgraded the intake though I had to, at the least, get the Stage 1 Download. The download made a big differance to the bike once it was done.
I have the normal baffles and they are loud, but I would consider it the perfect sound for the bike. It prob breaks the bike exaust laws in edmonton Alberta Canada but **** happens

 

I'd like to purchase those mufflers for my 2011 Street Bob if they aren't already spoken for. I don't think I can PM yet but if they are available you can email me at klx677 at yahoo dot com. Thanks!

 

I had no idea that those XiED's existed....very cool for only $100. I also saw that the V&H fuelpak was in the low $200's as well.

Jaron,

I like those pipes, if you can, send me an email at jmcgill89@gmail.com...as I'd like to talk more without hijacking the thread.

Joe

 

Got it, sent you a PM!!

 

If your worried about the conflicting opinions. Put 'em on, see how she runs,try to notice if you have any change like more pop on deceleration. If everything seems ok check your plugs after about 500-1000 miles and see if they're burning rich or lean and then you'll be able to make your own determination.
