After doing a search on this subject, and finding that it has been beat to death, I did not find an answer to my question. I have a new '08 Ultra. My first concern with the exhaust is the heat. My second is what optionsdo I have. I am not looking for advice on true duels. There are enough posts on those. I am looking to find out how the heat is on 2 into 1s.Do the 2 into 1 pipes help get rid of some ormost of the heat on the bottom of my leg?

P.S.As soon as I get a picture that I like, I will change my signature picture.

 

My 2-1's are not hot. Course I got rj's original heat shields and stage 1 that helped with heat also, plus up here in VT it ain't all that hot anyway so maybe I'm not a good one to ask

 

#1 option some kind of fuel management

 

pipes dont do much for heat its mainly the tuning. epa now mandates that mc manufactures meat polution standards so harley tuned em lean 14.7-1 afr u got to get it richer witch most guys do when they add air intakes and pipes .theres a nightrider device that will get u down to a 14.2-1 afer for about 60 bucks or u can do it right with a sert or pc111 or thundermax. benn alot of debate on wich is best but it is illegal for your dealer to set the sert any richer than 14.7-1 althuogh most will richen it up some and some dealers like to charge for a couple hours on the dino when all they do is put in a canned map so im a little shy about the sert.

 

the sert is a good system but id find a good indy to tune it
