Today I put the slip on exhaust on the beast and I have fallen in love all over again. It really made a difference to me, plus it make such a diffeence in hearing when the gears are ready to be changed.

I made a video and sent it to my son just to prove to him that I did it but the sound is not really noticable (to me) when the bike is just running, I notice when I first start it and when I am riding, the most noticable change that I like is how it help me hear when the gears are ready to be change. To me it is hard to capture true sound through video.Would be awesome if you could post a video for us. Glad to hear you are enjoying the change though. Had you bought parts from that company in the past?
Looking good! Thanks for sharing the pictures. You've just tempted me to look at the Vance&Hines Slip-On exhaustI added picture.

I got it from J&P Cycle online, check out their site when you have timeLooking good! Thanks for sharing the pictures. You've just tempted me to look at the Vance&Hines Slip-On exhaustnow.
Unfortunately I'm in Pune, India and I can only source the slip on exhaust from local resellers and not online. I don't know if J&P Cycle ships to India. The price quote I received locally if I convert into USD is around $580I got it from J&P Cycle online, check out their site when you have timeLooking good! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

It seems that I order my at the right time, I paid $359, they have gone up $40.00 since then.Unfortunately I'm in Pune, India and I can only source the slip on exhaust from local resellers and not online. I don't know if J&P Cycle ships to India. The price quote I received locally if I convert into USD is around $580. That's just to much. J&P Cycle online says $400.
Btw did you get the V&H Fuel Pack FP3 as well along with the slip on? Did you have to recalibrate anything post the install of the slip on exhaust?
Here's a video with both the stock muffler as well as the V&H slip-on.Would be awesome if you could post a video for us. Glad to hear you are enjoying the change though. Had you bought parts from that company in the past?
Are you sure about this? On Revzilla one of the answers in the Q&A section quotes:No I did not get the Fuel Pack, I called and talked to them before hand and was told I did not need to do anything other than take one off, put one on and that is just what I did.
I'd hate for something to happen to your Beast because the stage 1 download was not done. Just thought I should let you know what I came across.YES YOU WILL NEED A TUNE UP OR MODULE!!!!!!! You will run lean and could burn a valve or worse. Go to your HD dealer and get the stage 1 download it's like 275.00 or buy a v&h fuelpak3 Dynajet ect.
thanks for the information, am I sure? no only what I was told but I will get a second opionion because I truly dont want anything to happen to the BeastAre you sure about this? On Revzilla one of the answers in the Q&A section quotes:

Not at all. On the contrary, you finding this out will help a lot of other Street owners too who want something other than the Screaming Eagle. I've seen a couple of my friends with Street 750s want dual exhausts but they are just loud. The Vance & Hines sounds real throaty and that's what I like. Perhaps on my next US trip, I will pickup one. Who knows by then some other company might come up with an even better 2-into-1 exhaust system.Please dont think that I am not appreciative with you mentioning it to me and I will find out one way or the other prior to any more serious riding.

Taking my bike in to get the handle bar exchangec tomorrow, I will ask the person who get my bike once again what his thoughts are, I might just have them do it depend on what he say tomorrow. After tomorrow I am done with mod for a while.Excellent analysis and findings. Thank you sharing this info.
I can suggest you look at Firebrand Loose Cannon slip on exhaust as well. They have a distributor in Mumbai. I got this can from USA through a relative visiting India. Cost me $224. In India it is selling for around ₹36000/- by the distributor in Mumbai.Looking good! Thanks for sharing the pictures. You've just tempted me to look at the Vance&Hines Slip-On exhaustnow.
