v&h 4-1

anyone have any sound clips of a vance and hines header on a 900 or 1000??just ordered one so even if i don't like i guess it's too late:blush: sorry if this isn't the appropriate forum...but if anyone has one...thanx..

I bet theres a few vids on youtube of just this sort of thing;)

not a memeber there yet...ant chance of posting one??....please??

i had one on my ltd not a really bad sounding pipe,sounded really good with the baffle out!:evil: my biggest complaint is the way they fit and ground clearance issues;)

Jeff at Z1 Enterprises has posted that he won't sell any more till they fix their fit and finish issues. Word is that Vance and Hines Quality Control has gone into the toilet.

You might give Jeff at Z1 a call and see if anything has changed.

actually just ordered one from jeff...so he does still sell them, however he has explained that i might need to do a little grinding to get it to fit..

Took mine to a local muffler shop who put an expander tool in the cannister and with one quick adjustment had it fitting perfectly and with no chrome damage whatever, actually no visual difference at all, just a nice easy snug perfect fit. Took about 5 seconds. Slick as a whistle. No lube or sealant of any kind, and no leaks. All the horror stories about too tight fitment between cannister and header on V-H may result simply from the chrome plating being a little too thick.

IMO grinding sux. Would also forget about super heating cannister to fit onto frozen header, because once it cools, it becomes permanent thereby disallowing necessary fitment adjustments.

Don't worry, be happy.

ive had problems getting collars to slide over tubes,and have had to make mounting brackets for 2 of them since the mounting holes dont line up
