Regarding mileage, whenever you richen up the air/fuel mix, you typically have a resulting reduction in mileage. The XiEDs work very well, and they also work very well in tandem with the V&H FuelPak.

So if you have a V&H Fuel Pak fitted, do you have to adjust the settings if you fit XIEDS

OK< gonna ask a "stupid" question. Just got my XEIDS, 08 UC, stock, 96 motor, all stock. Work mate says install near ECM, looks like "de-structions" say follow wire and install. Does it matter or are they set up to install at 1st link point?
GUYS, don't beat me up too much, first HD I have ever owned, always had "rice burner" prior.

Default Xieds 2011 Heritage

I'm interested in trying these in order to avoid sticking YET ANOTHER object under my seat.
Mine mileage didn't change either way bike runs better and by the look of the exhaust it is richer. Before the inside of the mufflers was a light tan color now they are a chocolate brown color. It does pull a certain hill close to me in 6th now no problem where in the past i had to shift down to 5th or hold it wide open to maintain the same speed.

They are intended to install at the first conection off of the O2 sensor. Mine were for my Heritage anyway.

Yea, not really concerned with the oil temp, just there for point of reference. Mostly interested in getting rid of the popping on decel.

Default xieds

real interesting thread. I'm on the fence trying to deceide whether or not to try them out but from what I'm reading this is almost a no brainer so I'm thinking of going ahead. Just hope they work out. I ride a 2013 softail deluxe with rush 1 3/4" baffles and high flow intake and the stage 1 Harley down load which i'm sorry I did since I don't thing much was gained.
