Exhausting My Options
This exhaust is what I'd like to run on my 2006 FLSTCI. The catalog pic is of an '05 FLSTSC running original HD duals and Vance and Hines mufflers. (I don't know if baffled or not.)
My Bike:
Only problem is, Vance and Hines says they don't make their model #16733 fish tail slip-ons anymore and the local Harley shop says the duals are not available from HD anymore (but would work on my bike if they had them).
I'd like to find old stock if anyone has them.
Plan B: Just go with V&H true duals (non-baffled) with fishtail tips. I might have to get used to the long straight run of the right side pipe.
Plan C: The HD shop found an after market source where they could get the duals in either "true" or the "crossover" I like, along with fishtail mufflers. But the mufflers have non-removable baffles. I'm running non-baffled V&H Straight Shots now and like the sound. Plus, it's $1,000 for pipes and mufflers. I'll check the pics out next time I'm in the shop. I'm partial to the look of the V&H tips tho.
Plan D: Go with V&H "Velocity" Hot Tips, which would add a slash cut to my current pipes. I'd run the opening facing out instead of down. I think that would look cool for the lowest cost and hassle.
Plan E: Keep the setup I've got. Actually the lowest cost and hassle!
