06 heriatage softail...change pipes
Hey everyone. i just purchased an 06 heritage softail classic. It has EFI and I would like to make it a bit louder, nothing extreme. Is there any slipons or such that I can purchase that will not cause me to void warranty or have the EFI adjusted? I hope this makes sense to everyone. Thanks,
Brad

Firebuckeye, I have a 00 Heritage , I had the dealer punch out the baffles on mine but it has a carb. In your case its different you have the EFI , and if you change pipes you need to get it remapped ! A set of SE II`s and whatever you need to remap plus a high flow airfilter system ...its going to run you quite abit ! But it will make it sound sooooooooo much better......

There is nothing that you can do to make it sound any louder or "Potato-Potato" that you are looking for....
You have EFI... The system will not be able to compensate for the changes....

I also have a 06 Heritage Classic.
I punched a 1/2 hole in the baffle and its a just a little louder when cruising and louder under acceleration. It's not a lot louder. No problems with efi etc.

Look, you have 2 mufflers....
Top is a "Normal" muffler.... Yeah, you can punch a hole in that one, and it will be a Thru and Thru....
Bottom one is a Catalytic Converter equipped muffler....
You can punch a hole in it and you will still have to get through the Cat... Hard stuff when they are new......
My suggesstion, get yourself a set of SE II's, Hi-Flo A/C kit, and the Race Flash for the ECM Upgrade.....
Good sound, and better performance.....

RE: 06 heriatage softail...change pipes
I agree with Softbutt (btw...everytime I see your bike I think its mine..) V&H pipes are really nice. Now, the way I understand it, you do not need to remap an EFI bike if you are just upgrading the exhaust. Now, if you open up the intake, then you will need to remap. I know you are worried about your warranty, but most of us do upgrades with no affect to our warranty. Also, look up the Magnasun/Moss Act of 1974...if I remember correctly, it basically states that warranty must be honored, unless it is proven the upgrade caused the problem. Anyway, just my $.02
BTW...great choice of a ride
