V&H Headers
Men,
I need some advice regarding my 2012 SG.
Currently I have Rinehart mufflers, stock headers and SE AC.
I ordered a set of flutted CFR mufflers and should have them by the weekend.
In another month or so, I'd like to pick up V&H power dual headers. But, I'm wondering how difficult installing the headers is.
The manual doesn't seem overly difficult but I don't want to screw up my ride.
Does anyone know of any video's showing this process? I tried Youtube but didn't find anything.
My thought process is, I currently have a download from the dealer for the muffler. Swapping out the Rinehart to the CFR's is no big deal. I'm planning on getting a Commander V from Fuel Moto. So, the last part is the Headers. I really would hate to fork out cash to a mechanic for something that I can do myself and with the advice of the gang here.
Thanks

Men, thanks for the replies but is there a video or visual training guide out there. I saw something on Youtube but I believe its for a 2004 RoadKing.
Thanks again. By the way, my CFR muffler "SHOULD" be in this week. Talk about being like a kid before Christmas. I can't even sleep at night. lol

go to youtube and search for jackpot 2-1-2 headpipe install, I know it's not V.H. but it will give you a idea of what is involved, the main differences are the vh come with new flanges where the pipe bolts to the exhaust port, there is a bracket that mounts below the "six speed"cover for the pipe to bolt too, and a different crossover and clamp/bracket for that, along with all new heat shields,also I believe there is a extra thick washer to space floorboard board out a bit. grab your instructions and a set of helping hands, take your time and all will go well, make sure to check for exhaust leaks when finished. Have fun and enjoy! yes I'm a big fuelmoto fan so for pretty much the same price I would order their headpipe, I would also consider the power vision over the power commander 5, give them a call they are very willing to help you out, their customer service is hard to beat.

Not hard at all. I like the OEM HD gaskets. Put them in the freezer for a few. Make sure you properly torque the exhaust head bolts. Re torque after a couple of heat cycles.
Pulling the old ones off can be a pain too. Those mufflers are on there.

Hope you're doing well bud.
