what exhaust?

Bad news from V and H

I spoke with the folks from V and H today and they "decided to kill the spyder exhaust project." They didn't provide the reason(s), but I was really looking forward to a V and H pipe on my Spyder. The customer rep told me he would honor their agreement to give me a free pipe, and told me I could pick from their catalogue (posted below). Since I sold my Harley and only have the Spyder, I'll pick a pipe and put it up for sale or work out something with a spyderlover who needs a pipe for a different bike and wants to pay or trade. I'll post in the WTB section as well. Sorry to share the crappy news.

Thanks for the update. I am very sorry to hear they scrapped the project as well. It would be very interesting to know what their reasons were for doing so, but it doesn't look like they are willing to share that.

If you just put a slip on exhaust on, you should not need to make any changes to the Spyder. The ECM has enough play to normally compensate for that change. If you put a different air filter and a slip on exhaust on it, then you will likely need to do something else for best performance. On my Spyder I am running a K&N air filter in the stock air box and the Hindle exhaust, and the Evoluzione O2 Modifier was the only other change I needed to get great performance from it. Others have used the Juice Box, or similar setup, to help get them where they wanted to be. The Spyder runs close to lean from the factory, and each of these changes leans it out some more. That is why you need to get more fuel into the system if you do both changes together.

There are a few owners on here that fabricated their own exhaust systems. They sounded pretty darn good as well, but not the same sound your Harley used to make.



Thanks for this information as well. I sent Vance & Hines an email message several months ago asking if they were going to develop a can for the Spyder and they said no. I will be very interested to see what they come up with as I have always liked their products. :thumbup:

Oh no you don't!!! I remember the LAST one you got. If you do that then you'll ride in back ALL the time. LOL

Unfortunately, they decided not to go forward with making a can for the Spyder. You, your dad, and the woods, are probably safer for that. :roflblack:

Er, I mean, Oh dear, isn't that too bad. You have to admit, Love, that the wildlife is so much nicer looking without shell shock. :shocked:
