I just took my xied,s off. installed a FM Micro Tuner yesterday. Runs better. When i had the xied,s on with just teh Arlen Ness Big Sucker, it ran great. Has soon as i put on Fuel Motos 4.5 Pro Touring mufflers, it started pinging on the highway in 6th gear on a 85 degree day. I changed out my xied,s to the micro tuner and im a happy camper. the xied,s are for sale. 50 takes em
My 2014 Street Glide has stock intake & exhaust, I did buy some FL-ViED-10 from a
forum member who did a Stage-1 and used a tuner on his setup. With the adjustment
on the FL-ViED-10 that I am running (14.0:1 air to fuel) the Bike runs good & a little
cooler then all stock. When I change the Header pipe for one with no Catalytic Converter
in it, I will turn the FL-ViED-10 to full rich on the mixture. I do plan on keeping intake
and mufflers stock for a while to see how the Bike runs, I will check both mileage & heat
at that time.

I'm a big fan of the XiED. I wrote about it on my 2009 bike. The post is here: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...ggestions.html
I had no problems with the mod and the mileage penalty wasn't significant. The improved ride-ability was noticeable.

Thanks guys. I'm not really concerned about the mpg. The bike runs hot especially on the open road and the baffles look really light tan. Just guessing these things are setup super lean like most new bikes. I'm going to give the XIED's a try. I used to do all the stuff to my bikes but I'm played out on all that. Just want a smooth good runner and stock is fine. Thanks for the info.

My set up with XIED's - Vance and Hines Dresser Duals and Twin Slash Slip-Ons, Arlen Ness Big Sucker, the HD Stage 1 download. The exhaust change removes a lot of heat, my wife likes it because her right foot is no longer on fire with the removal of the cat. Stage 1 download was done before the bike was ridden, the XIED's were the last mod and give great throttle response, no drive-ability issues or problems and help cool off the engine.
