Stop Press - Stop Press - Stop Press No sooner had the news spread about the new Vance & Hines PCX technology than the company announced that it was already to expand the line by adding two new 2-into-1 exhaust systems with the return of its ultra-popular Pro Pipe and a debut for an all-new EPA compliant Bagger Race Replica System - inspired by the one used on the company ’ s King Of The Baggers racers .
Pro Pipe with PCX
" Pro Pipe is a classic design that has twenty years of evolution and improvement built into its return ," says Vance & Hines Director of Product Planning Tom Trobaugh . " It has all the ingredients for making power : stepped headers , an oversized collector and long megaphone muffler . The new generation Pro Pipe now additionally features our innovative PCX technology , which integrates a chambered high-flow catalyst in the megaphone for a bigger boost in torque and a more robust big V- twin rumble . " Plus , the placement of the catalyst deeper into the muffler moves heat away from the rider and improves rider comfort ." Available in chrome or matte black , the Pro Pipe 2-into1 system fits late-model Twin Cam Touring models ( 2010-2016 ), 2017 and up Touring and 2018 and up Softail M-8 models .
Bagger Race Replica 2-into-1
The Vance & Hines Hi-Output RR exhaust system comes directly out of the development work done for the riders in the King Of The Baggers class of the MotoAmerica Road Racing Championship . Constructed of high-grade , 304 stainless steel , the hand TIG-welded RR headers step from 1.75 " to 1.875 " to 2.0 " and feed into the same oversized collector used on the race exhaust system . The collector is even rotated to add extra ground clearance to
enable steeper lean angles through the turns . Equipped with the Vance & Hines midlength 4 " Hi-Output megaphone muffler ( featuring the same laser-cut riveted badge as the race system ), the street version of the system includes the new chambered , high-flow catalyst PCX technology used for increased torque - especially at mid-range rpms . Also available in a brushed works finish or matte black , the Hi-Output RR system fits M-8 Touring models from 2017 and up . It fits with the standard ( non-stretched ) saddlebags ; an optional accessory heat shield kit will also be available .
