Harley Sportster ' Amendment ' Side Slash - Optional Crossover
Corona , California exhaust manufacturer Freedom Performance has introduced a new application for Harley Sportsters - the Harley Sportster ' Amendment ' side slash . " Designed to give full range torque , optimal horsepower and deep throaty sound ," CEO and cofounder Martin Arteaga said . " One of the signature features includes our one-piece 16-gauge heavy duty heatshield with a 2 1 / 2 " outer diameter and 220- degree coverage ." Shipping with complete mounting hardware and brackets , and O2 ports for the O2 sensors , " each exhaust system is customizable including your choice of ceramic black or show chrome . " You also have the freedom to choose between the standard header , which is great for long runs , or the crossover chamber header . Although it does add a minimal increase in heat , the crossover chamber will provide more torque - which is great for short runs and increases horsepower . " What is the difference between a standard true-dual header and crossover chamber header ? Freedom ' s standard true-dual header has an individual header for each cylinder . The front cylinder pushes more than the rear because it gets more air and gas , thus generating more horsepower . The ' Crossover Chamber Header ' combines the gas flow from the front and rear header cylinders - adding heat in the crossover chamber to generate more torque . " Simply put , torque is a way to measure force . Torque is great for short runs . Horsepower , on the other hand , measures the amount of power that is transferred from the engine to the wheels . " The FPE heat shields cover the crossover chamber , so they look flawless . This exhaust system includes our performance baffle , which has been pre-fitted for an even easier installation , however , we do offer a quiet baffle , which lowers the exhaust by 5 to 8 dB ." Freedom ' s ' Amendment ' side slash is also available for Harley Softails .
