Topic: New Pipe from V&H (Read 7023 times)

Midnight Rider · « **on:** May 11, 2007, 05:08:52 PM »

There's a new pipe out for the V's from Vance and Hines...one of the best looking two into one pipes I've seen for the bike. My SE slips got scratched on the ends, so I'm considering these or having my stock pipes V-Modded by V Mod. Makes the pipes have more throat...louder than the SE slips and retain the stock look.

But these V&H's look good and are supposed to really develop some power, and have a good rumble as well. What do you think?

Conceived at the drag strip and delivered to the street, Vance & Hines 2-into-1 unleashes the roar of the 9,000 rpm Revolution motor and pushes the muscle of the fastest machine bearing the bar and shield emblem to the next level. A complete exhaust system integrating blue proof technology with applications for all models in the VRSC family, 2-into-1 features an elliptical muffler evocative of Vance & Hines performance-centered history.

Definitely has a strong sport bike influence to the design. Is it mid mount control compatible?

Terry,
I like them. Had V&H 2-into-1 on my Fatboy w/performance baffle and loved it. Deep, throaty sound and performance was great.

Ride Safe,

Mike...the part number is one size fits all...02-07 Vrod, and another part number for the 06-07 Street and Night Rod.

Edit: fits all VRSC models. Don't all VRSC models have forward controls?

It's the only pipe I've seen for the V that has the upswept look...most are either staggered like a FB or Dyna stock pipe, or all the two into one pipes run pretty much straight back. The V, in my opinion, needs the upsweep to hold the lines of the bike intact. I also like the oval shape on the muffler...it's different.

Nice looking pipes, I really like the sporty look it gives to the scoot.

Thanks for the information...Just placed the Rod in the shop today to correct a few issues. One of them being performance on with the pipes.

Enjoy.

I hate to say it but I really don't like the look of them. I would like to see a set installed in person. As most of you know I am a very big fan of the Thunder Header. With "V"'s V rod turning over 120 Hp at the rear wheel she is very happy with the Thunder Header.

Well, if you are ever in B'ham, drop by and see a set...will be in this week and installed by next weekend.

Awesome, look forward to seeing the #'s when they're installed. Do you feel that they'll push you past 109HP?

It should, Ed...if you believe all the other things I've seen about the two into one's on the Revo engine. I'm not really doing it for those reasons though. Since I had a minor mishap with the SE Slips and the tips got scratched up a bit, I need to do something, so this seemed like a good alternative to maintaining some of the lines of the bike, while gaining a bit of power and a bit meaner growl. I actually like the way the rear header follows the line of the frame, and I THINK I'll like the Oval upsweep on the muffler. No way to tell except stick em on there and see.

One other benefit appears to be by removing the collector, it brings everything a bit tighter to the lower frame, thus keeping my right calve off the heat shield when stopped. It doesn't burn, but it's warm...makes me sit at redlights all bowlegged and chit....

They should look good when your done and a couple extra ponies doesn't hurt either. I couldn't even hear the SE slips on mine while riding behind Neal and Q. I might get mine V-modded at some point.

Yea, the slips on our V's get drowned out by the RH's, that's for sure. The Vmod is supposed to be a good bit louder/deeper...like a small block chevy with 600HP. I don't want to set off alarms, but wouldn't mind hearing a bit more throat from the Revo engine. I think these V&H headers were born out of the Detroyer...we'll know in a week or two.

IS THAT ALL?

I know "V"'s Vrod with the Thunder Header is over 120. It is very quick.

Dave...I got it from Eastern Performance with free shipping for $539....and, they actually had it in stock. It's really hard to find right now. I'll have it on next week if I can get an appointment with the good tuner near Cullman for next Saturday. I'm expecting numbers near 120/85.

REGGAB · « **Reply #20 on:** June 08, 2007, 07:14:47 AM »

Terry, that is a beautiful piece of work. I've always liked V&H stuff, and I'm sure you will too. Enjoy it, man, and let us know how she does on the dyno.

Midnight Rider · « **Reply #21 on:** June 13, 2007, 11:32:35 PM »

Got this installed tonight and just had to fire it up to see how it sounds. Holy Chit!!! Not all that loud at idle, but crack the throttle and it sounds like a Destroyer!! Same kind of sound, though of course not the level of DB's. I've got to dump a MAP in (rich) to ride it up and get it tuned Saturday, but I'm happy with the looks and sound thus far.

I'll post pics of the install and finished product after I get the bike totally put back together and cleaned up.
