Looking to change mufflers...

[KEG]

Went to the Harley dealership Friday was going to buy some VH slip on mufflers for my 2017 FW. He is what I was told by the salesperson and then they took me to service dept. If I put on the VH mufflers I need to get it tuned and would be better if I put a stage one kit on it too. 4 hrs labor and tune parts $800, mufflers were $429 extra. They told me that the motors were burning up without re tune the motor. Is this BS or is the dealer full of it? I want a Harley sound.

If you you just want sound, just go with the slip-on's, nothing else is needed. Want a bit more performance then do the stage one. Enjoy the V&H!

From what I understand the twin cams did not need a tuner if only the mufflers were changed but the new M8 does

Had my FW almost two years and would like recommendations on new mufflers. Like the stock ones, but would like more power and a LITTLE louder, but not obnoxious (have really nice neighbors). I'm a retired teacher so money is no object (especially since I have none). Thanks for your help !!

Screamin’ Eagle Street Cannon/s slip-ons with Revolver 4” end caps. This was a deal that I

could not pass up by my local dealer. If you bought any slip-ons, they could

get any brand you wanted, from the dealer they would give free instillation.

I went with the H-D Cannons not because of infringing on H-D warrantee[1]

but some of the staff members said they thought the Cannons sounded better(throatier)

and not quite so obnoxiously loud as other slip-ons.

I have to agree that the Screamin’ Eagle Street Cannons do sound quite good and far

better than the stock mufflers that came with my 2016 Freewheeler.

[1] Warrantees

are not void if you use a none H-D replacement part. If dealer insist that the

part you added onto your bike was not an original manufacture made part and therefore

it made another part fail. The law stipulates that the dealer must show that

the substituted part did in fact bring about and/or cause the failed state. Just

saying it caused the failed state is NOT ENOUGH justification in voiding any warrantee

work. The dealer must by law show unattenuated proof that the part in questioned

did indeed cause the voiding of the warrantee.

NOPE, BUT A TUNER IS A PLUS

The M8 has knock sensors so a change of air and mufflers is not as critical as the tc BUT SHOULD BE DONE jmo check with others here

I've installed the Rineheart slip on's on mine. They have a nice throaty sound and are not extremely loud.

Will these fit on the 2017 Freewheeler?

NOPE, ALL HDs can use a fueler, BUT it is NOT a big deal IMO However if u want to run EXTRA lean Go Ahead, My trike is getting 44.5 MPG now with DK adding fuel in real time, I dunno where it will stop but @ 80 MPH it pulls hard and does not change my MPG Awesome machine, Me coming off Panheads, Shovels Evos and Twinkies

[Jack Klarich]

OOPS, forgot to say, I am running Fishtail drags with my own baffles, I always like the looks and sound, Alot will say WHAT it is TOO loud, BUT with my experience with exhaust over the years I get the sound and performance I want. Check the Big Twin Performance Handbook if u can find it cheap. It has ALL the exhaust questions answered by Top folks plus the formulas that cannot be DISPUTED JMHO

Sorry for the delay in reply I just now came across this, it's a 2015. Not sure if it would fit a 2017 but thinking it would.

You can't go wrong with the V &H Monster Rounds though, nice !
