RE: HOW DO I MAKE THESE PIPES WORK?

Not to be offensive or bust your bubble, but those are the worst pipes ever built. I have Dyno Charts I will try to post later to show how bad those pipes don't work. You are guaranteed to lose hp by installing them. Sorry.

Not according to the V&H website, I believe they call for a gain of up to 10HP.

contact V & H . Those guyz are great for tech support. If not, you should bypass the sensors by buying a shovelhead.

A lot of work to make them fit. Sell and or try to swap for a new set.

Those pipes are not equal length- a very bad thing for a Harley. Your old pipes look better anyway.

RE: HOW DO I MAKE THESE PIPES WORK?

Here's what you need to do....unbolt the original ones from the cylinders, be careful to not mess up the gaskets...then remove the brace at the muffler end and set them aside. Now, hold the new pipes up to the bike and notice THEY WILL NOT WORK, then throw them aside, reattatch your original pipes to the cylinders and attatch the brace again! tadaaaaaa all done!

And for future reference, avoid alcohol.

Sell those pipes, they are awful, for many reasons.

Get some NICE 2:1 pipes. Fatcats, Propipes, Rineharts, Thunderheaders.

You will be MUCH happier with the TORQUE they make.

JMHO...
