Could'nt believe how easy it was to put on. Also went to the HD where I bought my bike and picked up the service manual today.

Just lossen the two clamps "one on each muffler" the whole thing with the black support bar comes off. Take the new exhaust follow the directions "which was way easy" and re-install. Changing the exhaust out does not void the warrenty. I asked them at the dealer before I did it. Total time it took me was about 45mins and thats because Ive never did it before.

Slipons are generally easy to install, that's why they are called "slip" ons. The straightshots are probably the most cumbersome just because they have separate heat shields and there are measurements to maintain to get the proper fitment but they are still very easy to install. I find it is usually easier to remove the support bar first and then remove each muffler individually. That way you aren't yanking off the entire heavy assembly at once and taking a chance on scratching or denting something up.

It's not a bad idea to ask your dealer about the warranty. I think, "technically", aftermarket slipons can be a warranty issue but only if they cause and can be proved to be the cause of a warranty issue down the road and that is highly unlikely. I've heard different takes from different dealers on warranty with respect to aftermarket parts. I've seen posts where some say they will only honor the warranty if they do the install. Which, of course, is just their way of squeezing you a little more than they already have. Most dealers are okay with most things with no warranty concerns but some can be a little strange. My dealer is glad just to sell you the parts and will even give you install advice without threatening to cut you off on warranty if I don't pay them to do the install.

I've been through 2 sets of slipons before I got my Big Radius pipes. The last ones I had were the straightshots. Very nice look and sound!
