Default Exhaust Modulator

Ok, so Im getting ready to call Jamie at Fuel Moto next week and drop some cash for new air cleaner, PCV V&H Head Pipe & Mufflers and I begin checking out the service manual to see what kind of job i have in front of me and find this EXhaust Modulator do da.

What the hell is this for?

Anyone know what it does and will it effect me in changing out the exhaust system?


Just asking.....

I think that is only on the export bikes. My 10 ultra didnt have 1. the only real problem you will have is removing the 2 alen screws that hold the throttle body bracket on ( it is not used ) easest thing to do is butcher up a allen wrench so you get 1 the right length, rest is cake. pay attention how the exaust clamps came off

The exhaust modulator/Active Exhaust system only applies to Non-North America export models

The valve close the right muffler at a certain speed and rpm and lead the exhaust to the left muffler which is quieter.

Harley introduced the Active Exhaust System on the European 2007 Big Twin models. It is an ECM-controlled electric motor to open or close the valve in the exhaust system to meet the EU exhaust noise standards.

The funny thing is...
why do you have the valve.
