Screaming Eagle Performance exhaust
Hello All,
I'm buying a set of Screaming Eagle performance mufflers from a fellow member (jeepster09). How do the SE performance exhaust sound compared to the touring mufflers ? Any tips on the install on my 06 FLHT/I ?
Thanks for the help.

RE: Screaming Eagle Performance exhaust
You will notice a big difference in sound. Not too loud but louder than you are used to. They will have a much deeper rumble and should up your performance a little. What other mods have you done? Install is easy. Remove saddlebags and unbolt everything from the rear of your header to the bottom of the saddlebag brackets where the mufflers bolt on. Sometimes the stock mufflers are stuck on pretty good so once you get the muffler brackets all the way off (don't just loosen them) front and back then try twisting from the rear of the bike. Work them back and forth until they come off. I use a little silicone sealer when I attach the mufflers back on the header. Just put a ring of silicone around the rear of the header, slide the muffler on and make sure to clean off any excess. Line everything up and make sure the mufflers are even at the rear. Tighten everything down and then most important: CLEAN ALL FINGERPRINTS OFF THE MUFFLERS AND HEADER BEFORE YOU START THE BIKE.
Have Fun

The SE SLipons are a great sounding exhaust. I had them on my SG and loved that I could cruise at 80mph and still listen to my passenger/radio, but when getting on it they would also rock.

I am putting on a set of the SE Pro Performance mufflers on a new Ultra. I am glad to hear that they are louder than the stock mufflers. I enjoy the SEII's on my 02 Standard. I am also putting a Power Cmdr and the A/C kit on the Ultra. Can't wait to get into the wind......Even though it will b cold........

Thanks for the reply's, and tips. terry1955, I haven't done any mods other than mounting a detachable king tour pak. No engine mods yet. I plan on checking on the Harley download (stage 1 or 11)after putting the new exhaust on and I'd like to add a radio in the near furture. I'm trying to cut costs as much as I can. My other half doesn't appreciate or understand my need to change the FLHT/I from stock.

RE: Screaming Eagle Performance exhaust
Another good simple mod would be to change your compensator gear ratio to 3:31 by changing clutch basket and compensating gear. If you do this put in the automatic chain tensioner at the same time. It gives you alot more snap and does not effect speedo reading. It only moves rpm's up by around 600 or so, but it makes a big difference in acceleration.[sm=biker.gif] It will set you back about $400 to do give or take depending if you can do or if you shop around.

3.37 gearing for a touring bike is a good idea, especially if he has a SE 6 speed or something similiar with an OD top gear. Auto primary chain tensioner, though is NOT a good idea(especially the aftermarket units like the M6 from Hayden and HB-125). The manual tensioner is the best bet. Lowest parts count which means less to go wrong, and the primary should be inspected every few thousand miles anyway. Auto tensioner just allows another part of the bike to be neglected from lack of service.
