This whole 2 into 1 drama just keeps getting better.
I thought I would wait until the V&H 2 into 1 for the Breakout became available rather than take a chance on having fitting problems.
So, I inquired when I could expect them to be available.

This is the reply I got from V&H.
We are going to offer a Big Radius 2-2. This will be released some time in late April. There are currently slip on available. As for a 2-1 there is not a system we are going to offer.

Thanks for the info.

[Layin the Pipe]

Guess I'm waiting for 2-2. Was actually thinking about putting on the 2-1.

I am having the Bassani Road Rage Short 2 into 1 installed end of Feb and will be able to share my pictures then, not that it will change your mind    The V&H are bad azz for sure!

Ron, Get the ones for the 2012-13 softail. Trust me these will fit. I just double checked the so called spacing issue with the oil lines and the forward
controls and I honestly do not know what Vance and Hines are talking about as far as issues with that. Obviously the people that are answering customer
E-mails and questions have not actually looked these on this specific bike. But then again maybe I got a defective part that just so happens to
fit my bike

[Ronhend]

Thanks cbdeluxe, that's exactly what I wanted to hear.

I always thought it strange that if you look at J & P Cycles website, they say that they will fit the Breakout.
But, V & H say they are not recommended, what's going on here?

Very confusing.

Anyway, I going to order them.

Thanks,

Ron

V&H might not recommend 2into1 for the breakout because of how low the Bike sits   

 My buddy had 2into1  on a standard Fatboy , And would scrape the hell out of them when turning right 

they will fit... V&H is just covering there azz 

[Ronhend]

I just ordered V&H # 28019 for a 2013 Soft Tail like cbdeluxe has on his Breakout.

I'll you all know how it goes. I don't think there will be a problem fitting.

I hear you about the possibility of scraping with right turns. But I think the pegs will scrape long before the muffler will.
I have scraped the pegs several times already, not hard to do on a Breakout.

Ron

[cbdeluxe]

I definitely think the pegs will scrape first.

My dealer ordered me the one for the Rocker to accommodate that larger rear frame.  Lets see if that and the o2 senso adapters will work.

[Layin the Pipe]

I've come close to scraping the pegs several times. Pegs would definitely hit before the pipes would.

I was able to install V&H 2 into 1 exhaust on my Breakout yesterday afternoon.
The install was pretty straight forward with only a couple of minor issues.

First, there is a chrome piece that covers a nut that I had to remove to get proper clearance for the muffler.
If I had not, the muffler would rest against it preventing the pipes from lining up properly with the heads and exhaust gasket. It also would probably cause a vibration.
Not a big deal, the chrome cover is for look only.

Second, not really a issue. But it did take some time to make sure the pipes were properly seated into the heads/gaskets.

I'm not sure where the story about the exhaust pipes being too close to the oil lines came from.
I measure the distance from the exhaust pipe to the closest oil line on the stock exhaust, it was 1/4".
After installing the new exhaust the distance to the oil line is approx 1 1/2 ". So the new exhaust give more
clearance.
Also, no problem with clearance with the forward controls.

This exhaust is a little louder than I thought it would be. Not too loud just not what I expected.
Funny thing is, it doesn't sounds too loud when riding. Mostly just when sitting still, maybe it's because
of the way the sound is directed toward the ground.

So far I really like the looks and the sound. It really opens up the rear wheel.

I had already uploaded a improved tune from Dynojet using my Power Vision.
So using this same base tune I rode it some with the Power Vision in the Auto Tune mode.
I am getting some popping on deceleration, not a lot but some.
I am going to get a new map from Dyno Jet this week and see if it will improve the tune.

So far I do feel an improved seat of the pants performance.

The exhaust I installed was part # 28019 for a 2013 Soft Tail.

Hope this helps anyone considering installing this exhaust.

V&H said the samething about the Big Radius 2-2 for baggers several years ago, That they were not going to offer them, But they did.

[cbdeluxe]

Glad to see those worked out for you Ron. I left that chrome cover on mine, it sits very close but so far its fine. I know what you mean about the sound
it is different from what i'm used to as well. At least it sounds like your riding and enjoying it, all i can do is go out in the garage and stare at my bike. can't
wait till spring.

[Ronhend]

Hi CB,

I would have liked to have left my chrome cover on. But, I couldn't because the muffler was against it.
I guess there is a slight difference in the bend in the pipes on the set I got.

The sound is going to take some getting use too. It sounds good, but just a little loud.
I'm a old guy and have out grown the need for loud exhaust. I guess for longer rides ear plugs are
in my future. Lol

I got a couple of pretty nice days for riding. That all ends tomorrow. The next 3 days calls for rain.
Georgia doesn't have much of a winter anymore, cold a day or so then back to 55 to 65.

I'm still getting some popping on deceleration. Hope to get a better map this week.

Ron
