Default Brand New 2014 Dyna Wide Glide Exhaust
Hello all. I just recently purchased a 2014 HD Wide Glide and am looking to upgrade the exhaust. I have been looking at the V&H short shots staggered. I am wondering if this is a complete DIY job or should I have a certified mechanic do it? I am mechanically inclined. Also, what is EVERYTHING I NEED to do to my bike when upgrading my exhaust? I am looking to upgrade my bike without breaking my wallet. Any setups and suggestions advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

Buy a set of SAE wrenches and sockets and get busy.

Do it yourself, it's not that hard, basic hand tools, some exhaust gaskets and some anti sieze for the 02 sensors, every thing else shoud come with the new exhaust, as long as you still have the stock intake you should not need a tuner.

You can do this yourself. Get a HD maintenance manual as well. Oh and some hex and torx sockets.
