Yeah I bought the 12mm adapters for them. Mine fit fine and I had plenty of space for them. I bought a set of torque cones too, but they didn't seem to seat right so that's why I'm gonna go with the baffles and TTI's. I'm going to try a variation of combos with them and see which works/sounds best. Maybe if I can figure out how to put a video on here I'll take one and show the differences.

 

I orig was getting pipes with the 18 and the adapters but don't remember where the front o2 sensor bung location was. A guy at the shop mentioned they had them with 12mm bungs so I grabbed them. My front o2 sensor bung sits right next to the next to the case in front of the oil filter. W/out the header torque cones the brass sensor was rubbing. I'm going to order 4' baffles today I read a review on JP that said with some finagling they'll fit hopefully with the cones that will stop the decel pop

 

Yeah I ordered the pipes with the 18mm bungs and just bought the adapters. Worked out well. I ordered 4" baffles too. I hope it's not too much of a pain to get in with that slight curve at the openings of the exhaust. Time will tell.

 

Are those 2" or 1 3/4?, I have a 2012 48 Im looking to put this on with black exhaust wrap.

 

Also, did you do a download for the new pipes or are you running a tuner?

 

1.75 pipes. No tuner yet. In about 2 weeks I'll be changing the a/c when I do I'll get an xied

 

Yeah exactly what GodAbandonedMe said. Once I put an A/C on, I'll be getting and XIED for mine too.

 

How are these pipes doing now? I just bought my first Harley (14' Forty Eight) and picked up some LAF Drag Pipes off of EBay along with some torque cones, but am worried about running them with no tuner. They will be my only mods. Will it be okay? I want a really loud and aggressive exhaust, but would rather not jeopardize the health of my brand new bike.

 

'Rule of thumb is as follows:

Add just exhaust, no need to re-tune.
Add just an intake, no need to re-tune.

Add BOTH and yes you need to retune or at bare minimum go with a set of XiED's to help lessen the previously existing factory lean condition, or just go for the XiED's anyway regardless of any exhaust/intake mods or lack thereof.

The torque cones will help to bring back some of the low end torque you are absolutely going to be losing with those pipes. Loud and obnoxious they will be, until of course you get tired of them and decide on spending your hard earned sheckles on performance items like cams, headwork, 2 into 1 exhaust, a dedicated tuner like the Power Vision, etc., instead of simply making noise

=8^)

 

Just wondering if either of you had any update on how these pipes are working for you... I just installed a set on my 48' and haven't had a chance to do any plug readings do to winter weather... looking how the DKcustom TTI worked for you...


Thanks
