Acoustic Engineering & Power Performance
### Optimized Baffle Dynamics for Milwaukee-Eight Engines
Factory Softail mufflers trap excessive heat and muffle exhaust pulse resonance. The Vance & Hines Supersport slip-on features an optimized internal baffle system designed to reduce exhaust restriction. This allows your 114ci, 117ci, or 121ci Milwaukee-Eight engine to exhale freely, delivering immediate mid-range pull and a satisfying, deep exhaust note.

### Step 1: Removal of Factory Softail Mufflers
Ensure the bike is completely cool and securely supported. Apply a light film of penetrating oil to the muffler joint connections. Remove the mounting hardware securing the stock mufflers to the lower frame support rail. Loosen the factory Torca clamps holding the mufflers to the header pipe, then gently twist and slide the stock mufflers rearward off the head pipes.
### Step 2: Prepping Clamps & Slide Alignment
Slide new heavy-duty exhaust clamps over the inlets of your new Vance & Hines Supersport slip-ons. Apply anti-seize or lubricant to the header pipe tips to facilitate smooth sliding and positioning.
### Step 3: Mounting the Supersport Mufflers
Slide the Vance & Hines mufflers forward onto the header pipe outlets until fully seated against the stops. Align the rear bracket mounting points with the frame support bracket. Finger-tighten the mounting bolts, ensure proper tip alignment, and torque all hardware and clamps to factory service specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions
### Is an ECU re-tune required when installing Vance & Hines Supersport slip-ons?
If you are retaining the factory air cleaner and stock header pipe, an ECU re-tune is not strictly required. However, pairing these slip-ons with a high-flow air intake and an aftermarket tuner (such as the Vance & Hines Fuelpak FP4) will maximize horsepower, torque gains, and engine running efficiency.
### Are optional quiet baffles available for this muffler?
Depending on the specific core configuration, Vance & Hines offers optional quiet baffles (sold separately) that reduce total sound output by 2 to 3 dB if you prefer a slightly subdued volume on extended highway tours.
