I just added a Jackpot 2/1/2 stainless steel x-pipe to my '14 limited combined with the PV-2 and their stage 1 air cleaner that keeps the factory lid. I previously added V&H Monster Ovals.


I couldn't be happier with the Jackpot 2/1/2, their stage 1 air cleaner and the tune.

Parts fit perfectly, love the sound, and the tune.


The bike runs MUCH better and cooler, sounds awesome. Louder, deep Harley sound without being too loud for long trips.


Frankly I was surprised how well the Jackpot 2/1/2 pipe fits behind the factory heat shields.


Took me about 3 hours to do it all without a motorcycle lift. I probably have slightly better than average mechanical skills but I am no professional.

 

Looking at similar set up - any pictures?

 

They use the stock heat shields so you won't notice any change from stock....other than performance. Just curious why not the ceramic coated version? Been thinking hard about those.

 

Thanks

I plan on going with the black Rinheart and black shield from Harley so good to know you can't tell

As the ceramic head pipe - going stainless for the lower price

Is there a significant difference in temperature reduction going ceramic?

 

I don't see the need for the ceramic pipes if you're going to use the stock heat shields.


Removing the cat drops the heat output so significantly that the small additional drop wouldn't make a huge difference and I live in Houston, TX.


If you're going to toss the factory heat shields and want a "racy" look - the ceramic would be that and they will not blue like chrome pipes. They also will never be as "shiny."

 

I got the Jackpot 2-1-2 also and it is ceramic coated on the outside. The stainless one which is at a higher cost is not unless you get the higher version of it I believe.

 

They have a ceramic coated steel one, a stainless steel one and a ceramic coated stainless.


I got the SS pipe. It's surprisingly lighter than the factory cat pipe.


The air cleaner/intake, primary with no cat and the muffler change combined with the PV2 and a canned fuelmoto tune really changed the bike for the better.


The ordering process was painless, and the guys at Fuelmoto walked me through the different pipes, crossover tubes, etc - courteous, knowledgeable and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need which I appreciate.


Tips for future guys doing this:


1.) Take the factory heat shields off first, it makes things much easier.
2.) The o2 sensors have a particular placement, noted in the instructions
3.) The PV-2 doesn't have to stay mounted to the bike. You can program it and put it back in the box.
4.) Cuss at the snap rings before you change them over. Just get a head start on it.
5.) There's a gasket between the head pipe and the crossover tube. Fuelmoto's method (in the instructions) works great for getting the crossover back on without screwing up that gasket
6.) Get the pipe mounted, then put the heat shields on afterwards.


That's about all I can think of. It was fun because it's pretty straightforward, no snags and the jackpot pipe/intake fit perfectly.


The heat reduction is surprising, and there's enough of a power difference that you notice it when you crank the throttle. Plus...now it sounds like a Harley.

 

Super Happy w/my Rinehart Slimline Dual Headpipe as well as their 4 inch slip-ons.
Gained some (by the seat of the pants dyno) HP/TQ too over the stock non-catted HD Head pipe.
Rinehart still a top notch quality product!!
Recommended!!

 

Bill, post a couple pics. I wanna see how this looks. I went on their website but they took off the stock heat shields in the pics I found.

 

Can you get these headers from the HD dealers or is it only direct from FM?
