Default exhuast

I noticed that there are 2 different part numbers on screamin eagle pipes, is there a difference between 04, 05 06?

thanks

James: There is a SE I and a SE II. The II is the more open exhaust. That is probably what you are looking at. Go for the II or even step up to one of the aftermarkets like the V & H, the Cycle Shack, the Sampson, etc. I found on my XL 1200 R that the Cycle Shack turnouts gave me the "Harley" sound that I wanted and significant amounts of additional torque right in mid-range rpm levels. You do have to re-jet the carb when going to both open exhaust and better A/C unit. ............. BC

Big diff in '06, they have 02 sensor, don't know the location of the 02 but that might be the diff.

the o2 sensor had no affect on the SE II's from 05 - 06, when they set me up with the new ride the only things swaped between the bikes was the license plate and the SE II's - everything else bling wise was new.

I'm new to Harleys and planning to pick up a 1200R next month. Could someone recommend a good aftermarket exhaust with a deep & mellow sound and moderate volume (somewhere between the stock pipes and straight pipes)? Screamin Eagle? Also, would a Stage I mod be necessary with your recommended pipes? Thanks.

I've heard the V&H slip on's yesterday. They sound great and might be just what you're looking for. Deeper, louder, but not raspy and overpowering. Sounds very similar to the SEII's w/ slightly more volume. Either one will probably work good for you.

Me, I'm going w/ the Samson Big Guns 3's. Haven't heard them yet, but love the look, and based on the legnth and pipe diameter they should be just what I want.

I have SEII on my 1200R if you want to see a pic it is in my gallery. The SEII are loud a lot louder than stock but they aren't straight pipe loud i also went with a SE AC SE plugs and wires and a rejet and my bike runs great there is a huge jump in performance, so i would recommend the SEII unless you want a really really loud pipe.
