Just fitted my Big Shots after watching this video. Thanks very much for an easy to follow vid, I know this job wasn’t too technical but it still gave me the confidence to do the job myself. Cheers
My bottom shield slides on fine but the top would not go on. It was a pain to get off too. And I might need a new exhaust at this point… I stupidly tried to bend the one of the pipe in to fit the shield and now it’s bad lol
@@RBoysMedia i tried to do mine by myself and almost went mad lol. So much easier with 1 person holding the weight of the exhaust and 1 person finangling it in place and getting everything snugged up
Great video, I have finally got to see what the hidden power chamber crossover looks like. I like the 2 into2 look, now you can have the look with 2 into 1 performance. First video I’ve seen showing the back side of the pipes.
I just bought a gasket for the exhaust manifold don't understand where to put it I was watching your video and I didn't see one I got smoke coming from the exhaust up there at the top thanks for any help appreciate it
I have an '05 Dyna Wide Glide EFI which has the V&H Longshots which come all the way out to the back of the rear tire. Is there a practical way for me to cut the exhaust pipes shorter like the ones you installed in this video and just buy the matching heat shields so that it has this same length and configuration? I don't really care for the Longshots all the much, I prefer the shorter versions....
Not really. You could cut the pipes off but you would need to slide the baffle forward and remount. Then sent pipes out to be re-chromed. Probably easier to sell them and buy new.
@@jpcycles Yes I wondered about that also, where I cut the inner pipes it's gonna be raw steel that can rust. I thought about maybe coating the cuts in a zink type spray coating since they're not really gonna be seen because they'll be covered by the shorter heat shield and then end caps but your idea sounds like the better solution. Thank you!
@@StupidTeenageVideos No they don't, as a matter of fact it's funny you asked that question, I just changed the trans fluid about two hours ago. 👍 The longer pipes have grown on me though, I think I'll stick with them, I wasn't crazy about them at first.
yea they say touching the chrome pipes then heating them up is a bad thing to do it will leave print marks,,, so they say to wipe clean when cold and done working on them...
I have same bike, Just go the same big shots, and Fp3. You don't Breather change or FP3 video.....Do I have to change out the Air intake for best performance? Such as the Vance & Hines - 70001 - VO2 Air Intake?
you definitely want to use a high flow intake. All of the FP3 tunes are based on using one. The bike needs the air. ua-cam.com/video/4LgQS1s4a_E/v-deo.html this is the same basic air cleaner procedure, but with a couple of small changes for a Dyna, but the instructions show you exactly what to do. ua-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=ad_kbjwwQPMThis is the FP3 video
Hey J&P, I bought 4400281EXHAUST PORT GASKET , but when installing them, they got crushed a bit on one side. Do I need to replace them with new gaskets and ensure they dont get crushed or will the exhaust smooth this down?
Thanks. Did push them back into a rounded shape. Spoke to tech support and they suggested I start up the bike and if there is a leak it would be very obvious. Going with that and will report back on how it worked out.
Any tips further tips on removing stock headers? Does the bike need to be cold or should I run it to heat the parts up before removal? I just don't want to break a bolt off. Thanks
It's best to do when the bike is cold, just because you will not burn yourself. When removing the pipe make sure that you have the O2 sensor wires pulled free so that they do not get caught on something when pulling the pipes.

Glad we could help.
me too, thanks j&p
Love that editing to make it look like the pipes slide right on 😂

+1 I have to short shots..but I'm going to order some big shots for performance
Laid back explanation. Enjoyed it. Thanks.
Excellent video, it really helps us be able to do it ourselves. Thanks
Great job, Nice looking pipes. Thanks for your time.
2:17 where did you get those pliers? they made shirt order of that C clamp
Great ,to the point ,all business...I'm impressed ,good job
I just bought a gasket for the exhaust manifold don't understand where to put it I was watching your video and I didn't see one I got smoke coming from the exhaust up there at the top thanks for any help appreciate it
Awesome info! Thanks!
Did J&P ever open up shop in Daytona?
Nice clear video
Great video. Is there much weight difference between original and V&H systems?
do you recommend Vance & Hines Exhausts - Shortshots Staggered - Softail? Is it worth it!
Very good thanks
Do you need to disconnect the battery as well?
Is this standard for all dyna models?
I think so. It is on mine. 10’ street bob
i installed bigshots on my 08 superglide and the rear 02 sensor is too shott..is there a longer 02 sensor i can buy?
thanks mate
Aren’t the new crush gaskets supposed to be screaming eagle?

Do your pipes block your transmission dip stick?

good my friend 👍👍
Excuse me, I have a question ... do you use Fuelpak for slip-on? Thanks
Some say you do not have to if you do not change the air cleaner, but I would on my bike.
@@jpcycles so if you change the oem air filter , you have to add fuelpak or tune right ?
where do you get those foot pegs, what brand, thanks
I'm not sure. The bike was in Southern California and I just did the exhaust. I know the bike had a lot of Roland Sands products on it. Sorry,Pauly

Do u need locktite on header nuts? Mine keep loosening. Or it that a no no.
Loctite doesn't work well because of the heat. Try serrated nuts to keep them from backing off.
what size serrated nuts? I bought my bike with bss already on but the flange nuts are rusted. I need to replace them. Thanks much. Great vid.
5/16" 24 pitch nuts
Cool. Many thanks sir.
J&P Cycles thanks for the info and fast reply.
do you need to reisntall the O2 sensors if you run a fp3 fulpak
Yes
Hey J&P, I bought 4400281EXHAUST PORT GASKET , but when installing them, they got crushed a bit on one side. Do I need to replace them with new gaskets and ensure they dont get crushed or will the exhaust smooth this down?
It depends on how bad they are. Try to press them back into shape with something rounded. Even the handle of a screwdriver could work.

didn't explain bolt torque
the rear sensor is too short
I got mine installed and the gaps between them aren't straight.. how can I fix that
Take it back up to them! Make em fix it!
Te olvidaste de ponerla en marcha!!
If going to the trouble to show the entire process....at least start the S.O.B. up.....jeez.
for real, i had to buy the damn pipes for myself just to hear that rumble, and it's sweet
dislike for not starting it
Horrible instructions
