Thinking about putting vance&hines exhaust on my stryker is there anything special i need to do to it when changing pipes?

 

[norm155]

i am looking for different combinations on pipes and fuel processors what seem to work the best with what,, anyone got some recommendations ?

If you are doing just the exhaust the bike will run fine, nothing special will need to be done. If you go beyond that such as adding an air intake it is a good idea to add a processor.

Ok so just replacing the stock with a vance and hines the bike will run ok..not after performance just a better sound

I am pretty sure that just adding pipes without anything else will give you a performance gain. It did when I added my cobra swepts. Smoothed most of the lag out to. As others have stated, that is fine by itself but if you add an intake you will need a processor to go along with it.

Don't forget to pick up 2 new exhaust gaskets. These will work.

Picked them up from autozone for under $4 for the pair.

I talked to tech people at vance & hines about changing the pipes and they tell me yes i have to put a fuelpak on when changing the pipes..Kinda stuck on what to do some say yes others say no it will be ok

V&H is trying to sell you more than just pipes. You will be OK without fuel pak till you go changing intake. But you probably will be like the rest of us and continue to mod, so might as well get the FuelPak. LOL

LOL i know..my last bike i had honda vtx1300 i did pipes and intake and just got this stryker last spring now it's time to customize it but money is tight and need to start with exhaust for now

You will be fine without fuelpak for now then. I sure prices will continue to drop anyway.

V&H are blowing smoke up your backside in order to dig a little deeper in your wallet, as a tuner isn't needed just for the exhaust. Exhaust will increase your performance and change your shift points up a bit too.
Not sure if it was because I changed it first, but exhaust seemed to make the most difference out of all my mods.

thanks for the reply's i will go ahead and and do the pipes without a fuelpak..if needed i guess i will buy it later

I just bought my V&H big radius pipes from IndySuperBikes, for like $594, no tax, free shipping. Best prices around and they'll beat anyone's prices, or so they say. I'm satisfied, took 5 business days to get them to my door.

You should see about a refund then, or at least credit towards your next purchace. I'm not sure if these other guys charge tax, but their price is definitely better:
