I want the V&H pipes but what do I need? gaskets? 02 extension? Or just the exhaust system comes with everything ready to bolt on??? Any input or advice is very much appreciated thanks brothers

It comes with the O2 extensions. You'll need gaskets though. Dont get them from Yamaha. Use Felpro #23588........$1.99 at OReilly's

Thanks skwerlee is it a hard install?

I have the Big Radius...but I'm sure the Twin Slash Staggered is about the same. 2-3 hours...not hard at all. Just follow the directions.

Twin slash does not come with O2 extension... at least mine did not. But, nothing extra is needed to complete install... I had some extral copper O rings for the headers.. but did not need them, the originals were still fine.

Glad it worked out for you but as a rule of thumb its best to replace the gaskets anytime you remove the headers. It's cheap insurance against leaks. Would hate to have to tear the entire exhaust system off after the fact just to fix a leak because i didn't wanna spend $5 on gaskets.

 

[Ernie209]

Lol yea I'm replacing them 8)

I agree...

Hi Ernie!! Like the guys have already said, just follow the directions. If you have issues with following the directions exactly, lhave the pipes sent to your local dealer and let them install the pipes. Believe me, I know some people who think they know everything about everything, and never read directions until they screw up....then its "bad" directions!!! Lmao Just be patient with them, don't rush it. While it may be the V&H swepts, read through the threads on this subject (use your search feature) if you plan on installing a cobra powerpro at unit. There have been a few complications between the two. Good luck from a sister rider!!!

 

[Ernie209]

Very good point thanks for the imput wyntress, and thank you everyone for the knowledge!!!

If your gonna do it! change the Air intake while you are at it and take it and put it on a dyno!

 

[sfcmcgan]

If your gonna do it! change the Air intake while you are at it and take it and put it on a dyno! dont mess around with the PCV crap!dont need it!

A load of crap[ cost of non PCV and Dyno run far outweighs cost of PCV and everytime you want to change something you will need another Dyno run PFFFFT!!

Also.. not sure about this mind you... even with a dyno run... what can be done to increase air/fuel mixture... we are all running fuel injected engines... what can be adjusted to compensate for the exhaust, intake etc...? Personally... I love my cobra autuner....

 

[mikoloe]

I bought my PCV because a friend recommended it. I know better now! I had to put mine on a dyno... I think I am done with the exaust and the intake for now... I need to chrome my wheels .

 

[chillerwhale]

What is your plan for the speedometer?

 

[mikoloe]

I have a friend that is a welder, he is going to make a fastener plate just like the one that is on there now. He is going to weld it to the handle bars. I am buying some 4 inch risers to clear the tank... I should be good, might have to tweek it a little.

 

[chillerwhale]

Sounds like a solid plan, that would be great if you could post some pics when you're done

 

[dewman4]

I just put V&H staggerd on my bike and love the look, sound and the extra power it gives my bike. I haven't done the intake or the fuel management yet. I am thinking about putting on the Cobra PowrFlo Air Intake System and the Fi2000 PowrPro Tuner W/CVT. Thats my next mod.

Do a thread search, I think there have been issues with this setup, but I could be full of mud
