Vance & Hines PCX Shortshots Staggered Exhaust For Harley Dyna 2006-2011

Vance & Hines PCX Shortshots: The Performance Evolution of a Legend

The Vance & Hines PCX Shortshots Staggered for 2006-2011 Harley-Davidson Dyna models—including the Street Bob, Low Rider, Wide Glide, and Super Glide Custom—represent the pinnacle of short-pipe engineering. For years, the Shortshots were known purely for their aggressive look and loud “bark,” but the introduction of PCX™ (Power Chamber Exhaust) technology has fundamentally changed the performance profile. The PCX system utilizes a high-flow chambered catalyst that creates a unique internal pressure wave, effectively pulling exhaust gases through the system more quickly. This results in a significant boost in mid-range torque, eliminating the “low-end lag” often associated with older straight-pipe designs. Whether you are running a 96ci or a built 103ci Twin Cam, these pipes ensure your Dyna performs with the same aggression that its looks suggest.

Blue-Proof Protection and Iconic Aesthetics

Visual presence is the hallmark of the Dyna platform, and the PCX Shortshots are designed to maximize that custom “Club Style” silhouette. The system features a staggered, short-length dual-pipe design with signature slash-cut ends that expose the engine’s drive side and rear wheel. To ensure the finish lasts as long as the bike, Vance & Hines uses their patented full-coverage 220-degree heat shields. These shields are plasma-arc cut from 16-gauge heavy-duty steel and finished in show-quality chrome. This “blue-proof” technology acts as a massive thermal barrier, preventing the chrome from yellowing or blueing due to the intense heat cycles of an air-cooled V-Twin. With the PCX Shortshots, you get the raw look of a drag pipe with the long-term durability of a premium touring system.

Expert Tuning & Installation Advice

As specialists in the 2006-2011 Dyna era, we know that these EFI-equipped bikes require precise management to run their best. Pro Tip: Even with the improved backpressure of the PCX technology, 2006-2011 Dynas run notoriously lean from the factory. To maximize the performance gains and prevent excessive heat, we highly recommend a fuel tuner like the Vance & Hines Fuelpak FP3. This will calibrate the ECU to match the increased airflow, resulting in a cooler-running engine and a deeper, more stable exhaust note. Installation Note: When mounting on 2006-2011 models, check the condition of your exhaust port gaskets. We recommend using new tapered gaskets to ensure a perfect seal at the cylinder head. Always wipe the pipes down with denatured alcohol before the first start to remove any skin oils or fingerprints, which can be permanently “baked” into the chrome once they reach operating temperature.

The Signature Sound of Power

The sound of the PCX Shortshots is deeper and more authoritative than the original version. At idle, it produces a rhythmic, low-frequency “thump” that is significantly more refined. Under acceleration, it transforms into a crisp, roaring bark that perfectly highlights the 45-degree firing order of the Harley engine. Every system is 100% Made in the USA, ensuring that the welds, fitment, and chrome quality are of the highest caliber. For the 2006-2011 Dyna rider who wants the best-looking, best-sounding, and most performance-oriented short pipe on the market, the PCX Shortshots Staggered are the definitive choice.

Fitment Note: Fits 2006-2011 Dyna models. Not compatible with FLD Switchback models. Controls and footpegs must be in the factory location or use approved relocation kits.
