Holy hell !!! I just installed them my self took me 2 hours !! Couldnt have asked for a better sound .. thank you so much MK 87 you did a great job explaining everything. I followed your video step by step ! Thank you bro . I did NOT install a tuner and they sound amazing the bike is more responsive and looks great . In the near future I will install a tuner ..thanks again coming from Texas 915 ..
@@dillonjohn3976 No problems what's so ever it runs great does not heat up . Already put about 300 miles on it . I still havent installed it .Thanks for askin
Dude, great install vid, you explained & showed everything you did which is what people need who are going to try the same thing. Nice job & they sound great, stay safe!
Have 07 sportster 1200 low with full Vance and Hines short shots with baffles removed and untuned and factory air cleaner. Wife & I will be installing black short shots, air cleaner and tuner. Thanks for the video.
You made that look so easy with the gaskers. I struggled with mine. They didn't want to just go in. I eventually got a race seal and bearing insert kit and that did the trick.
I had a 2001 carbureted 1200 Sportster that I installed these Vance and Hines pipes on and it was too loud for the community that I live in, So I purchased the quiet baffles for them and installed them in the pipes, It did not quiet it down a lot but what a difference in performance once I installed them and it added that needed back pressure the engine required. The engine seemed to have way more torque throughout the whole roll of the throttle. I highly recommend you give it a try! You just might be as surprised as I was!
@@IrishBOBSister Just few hours drive. My first attempt for getting the exhaust from NJ to CA was a failure. UPS damaged it in the transit and declined my claim. Doing 2nd attempt with FedEx this time. If it didn't work I am just gonna drive to one of the neighboring state.. spend a day or two there and get it from there or I just move out of CA. Got pulled over few days back for not having a front licence plate and my Camaro stock exhaust are too loud according to the COP!
I'm buying a 2020 Iron 1200 next season, and I definitely want these pipes on it. Thanks for making this video, I'd rather do it myself than pay the dealership.
Just finished installing my Vance and Hines short shots on my 2014 sportster 48! Used this video as a reference and it definitely helped me a lot! Thanks bro! @MarvelKid87
Have you installed them yet? If so do you think they sound louder than the short shots? I've been debating on short shots or grenades. Not many people have the grenades
@@tyreekmcneal1154 honestly don’t know how loud short shots are but my mini grenades are really loud only thing is for my Harley I had to remover rear pegs for passenger for clearance issues :/ but I love them
When I removed the stock bracket that holds the stock exhaust and tightened all the bolts back to place, my bike couldn’t move.. I then loosened the bottom bolt of that cover, and it was able to move again.. but came undone when I was riding, did I switch the bolts around?
Slick video man. 🤙🏽😎 Quick question? Where did you get the flat point snap ring removing pliers. I have a few but none that are thin profile like that. So just curious
Got my shorts shots installed. This video made it a ton easier to install! Btw this exhaust was a lot louder than I expected it to be in person 😂 oh well I love it! What are this baffle things that come in the standard pipes ?
Hi! I’ve got a 2019 sportster 1200 XL custom & I wanna know if a Fuel pak is mandatory when changing the exhaust to a Vance and Hines short shots (staggered) ? Also, does the stock air filter needs to be replaced by a heavy breather ? Or can I continue with the stock…?
Do I need to buy the fuelpak as well??? Im looking to buy Short Shots for my 48 and im wondering if I dont buy the fuelpak if it won’t run right and if I also buy a air cleaner, thanks.
Good job. Yo instalé los míos pero se han roto ya 2 veces y los he tenido que soldar. Debes dejarlos un poco flojos en la parte de abajo? Por la vibración del motor me refiero. I’ve installed mines but they have cracked twice, do you have to let them a little loose in the bottom?, because of the vibration of the engine I mean...
Planning to put these pipes on my 2021 48. Not much of a mechanic myself.. so you're just using a standard socket set? Any other special tools that help? Also, did you tune the bike after the installation?
I just bought my 2020 sportster 48 last december, im planning to put on some vance and hine shortshots, my question is IS IT NECESSARY TO DO A RETUNE or IS IT SAFE TO HAVE IT STOCK WITH THE SHORTSHOTS
Hi bro, well explain the installation, quick question, I ordered the short shot Vance & Hines, I checked over and over and it seems to be the correct part, but the new seal, and the diameter on to the motor are the same size as the new pipe, the new pipe doesn’t go inside the hole in the sportster, if I tight it up it will be flat, probably leaving a gap for a leak. I’m not sure if it will be push in once I tight it up. I Appreciate you advice. Thank Leo
Question!!! Please help ! I just purchased these bad boys and I'm about to install them! DO I REALLY NEED THE FUEL PAK DEAL OR NO ? Please help .. I have the same exact bike !!
Question, is there supposed to be space between the flange and head port? Or is the flange supposed to be flush up against the head port? Just installed Vance and Hines short shots on my 18 fat bob and there’s space between the flange and head port and it makes me lose sleep. Help?
@@kiingblackbeard123bucio3 it seems to be running fine, but hard to tell. I’ve been told to fix it so that I don’t lose back pressure. But I can’t get it flush
Sounds great! Do you know if he is going to use a tuner with them? The bike certainly won't break without it but the factory air lambda values will keep it from running as cool and powerful to take advantage of the new free flowing pipes. 😋
Do u apply loctite on all the bolts u put back on? Just got my short shots in along with a new air filter... will try to do it myself and save $680 for labor
great video! so the metal rod between the stock pipes is only bolted to the cylinder heads right? Im going to reinstall my stock ones but i didnt take them off myself. watching your video to go backwards haha. So if im right. install the big plate near the sprocket first. then the rod goes under that and bolt them to the cylinders. and then install both slipons with the bracket to the other bracket, which also gives support to the entire pipe. am i right?
i literally have the same problem haha, its for inspection in my country since short shots high sound is illegal, i have my stock ones but i dont have any bolts to the exhaust system and to the mounting, do i just reuse the ones installed on the short shots brackets and the mufflers? How did you do it? Please answer ASAP my friend, much appreciated :)
Wow..what a difference some pipes makes..good job on the install..when are you gonna do the second part to your Sportsters future vid? And so you think 6’0 is too tall for a 48? Thanks
Yooo Dominicano!! I have a question brotha, do I need a tune to run this exhaust? It’s my wife’s bike and we have the exhaust still in the box. DYING to install them
where did you order from? i have been waiting over a month for bergen harley!!! i am going to cancell my order if i do not have my pipes by end of the week.

Did u installed different air intake?
I bought a used Harley based on the sound of these pipes. They are extremely loud and definitely a head turner
Dude, great install vid, you explained & showed everything you did which is what people need who are going to try the same thing. Nice job & they sound great, stay safe!

The sound from the video doesn't do justice, i installed those pipes on my 48 last friday and they sound AMAZING. Great video btw

Best video installation I've seen. Very informative and explains everything clearly and leaves no guesswork.
Great job man. The look on ur buddies face is priceless!!
Lol thanks
You are the best who can convince me about a lot of things
I think every Sportster should come with V&H Short Shots - nice sound!!
I agree but they are illegal in some states. I know they are illegal in CA. I can't buy them here. No one will ship it here either.

Installing them today, thanks for the vid!
A job really well done. Really well done
great video, goes into all the details thanks mate

Love these install vids
Just one thing is missing! How much torque you had on the exhaust screws?
Thank you for the video.
I wish I had the confidence to do the pipes on my Sport Glide, I’m a little handy, but not mechanical... lol
Nice pipes looks way better for Hugo's bike, I'm down for the group ride next Sunday lmk
Do you need to tune the bike afterwards?

Great install MK87, you know how they say you get more powe doing 2 : 1 , with Vance and Hines 2 :2 do you get the same amount of power?
Thank u for the video . Do u think I ahould replace my exhaust gasket i only have 100 miles on my 2022 hd 48 ? please let me know. thank u in advanced
Awesome video! Thanks
Bro can you tell me the tool name that you use for putting flange clips ? Thanks for the video.
Did u add a fuel pack? I have a 22 lowrider s and im planning to get the v&h big radius.. but im not sure if a fuel pack is needed
Question: when getting a full exhaust system is a intake and tune mandatory?
Speaking on the sportster 48
Hi! I’ve got a 2019 sportster 1200 XL custom & I wanna know if a Fuel pak is mandatory when changing the exhaust to a Vance and Hines short shots (staggered) ? Also, does the stock air filter needs to be replaced by a heavy breather ? Or can I continue with the stock…?

is it mandatory to also install a fuel pack, when I install a Full Exhaust system?

Dont you have to change out air filter and tune it as well when changing the full exhaust?

Do you have to install a tuner?
A pick works great for removing the head gaskets.
What back rest an seat do you have.

What’s louder that exhaust or your two in to one
How long does it take to install roughly
Sorry miss you said it took an hour
Amazing pipes🔥🔥🔥 nice vid!!!
Ps: you lose low end power with sort shots vs stock pipes!! At least for the 883! Got this from John maxwell🤘
Not sure about that. There is a big difference in the big with a stage 1. At least that's how it feels. Ride safe
old Guy go watch John maxwell’s video he shows the dyno graph🤷
Thanks just saw it. That maybe so but it's a different ride with the pipes ride safe
