XIED question
For those running XIED or FLIED...how badly did it impact your gas mileage? And does it throw the "miles to empty" readings off?
Please respond with your exact set-up including air cleaner. Thanks.

Screamin eagle pipes and drilled out the back plate with K&N filter, averaged 32 + on the milage. Still have them along with a V&H Fuelpak in the tool box. I'm one of those who can't leave well enough alone.

I have a 2008 R/G....with 40k miles on the clock, 35k of these have been
with a set of Xied's installed.
I have the Heavy Duty Breather and a set of Rush slip ons with 2" baffles.
I'm constantly getting in the upper 40's for mpg, and have on an occasion
or two broken into the 50 mpg range.
Majority of my riding is 450 to 500 mile 'lunch rides'.....
I highly doubt these Xied's mess with the fuel counter, or miles remaining.
I'm very pleased with Xied's I have installed..... of course YMMV

I was getting around 34-35 with them, have removed them now, didnt effect the miles left reading. They do help with the heat and do perform better than stock. Have a set would sell for $50.00 plus shipping.

The regular XiED that is not adjustable adds 8% fuel. See below link. They state 6%-9% lower mpg.
