Big Slash - VICTORY 2 into 1 EXHAUST SYSTEM

 

Step 1. Begin by removing the existing pipe from the motorcycle, and then inspect the exhaust gaskets.  If they are worn or deteriorated, fit the engine with a new set.  Next, remove the rearmost bolt attaching the foot control bracket and loosen the front one but do not remove it.  Rotate the control forward as shown.  This will provide the necessary clearance to install the 2 into 1 primary pipe.

 

 

 

Step 2. To install the heat shields, slip the supplied hose clamps through the hoops welded onto the backside of each shield.  Use the smallest hose clamps on the heat shields closes to the head.  Use the larger hose clamps on the heat shields that are on the mufflers.  It is very important that you install the front heat shield hose clamps with the hose clamp nut toward the front of the bike.  Rear heat shield nuts go toward rear of bike.

On muffler heat shield hose clamps have nuts pointing down with clamp body parallel to tab on pipe body

 

 

Step 3. Due to the design of the primary pipe some finesse will be required to get the ends of each pipe into the exhaust  port in each head.  Begin by placing the rear pipe in the rear exhaust port.  Heat shields must be in place for installation of the primary pipes. See step 7

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4. Offer the primary pipe into place on the engine.  Note that the right side electrical control cover has been removed from the frame to allow the pipe to slip into place.

 

 

 

 

Step 5.  It may be necessary to pull on the front pipe to flex enough to clear the fins on the head.  You may also tap on head pipe with rubber mallet before installation to spread header a tiny bit, this process should ease in installation.  Ease the pipe past the fins and into the exhaust port.  Split exhaust clamps are included.  They are orientated as show.  They are to be installed on the engine one half at a time.  Snugly fit all exhaust flange nuts, but do not tighten them completely.

 

 

Step 6. Installation of the 2 into 1 pipe requires the lower frame rail to be cut off as shown.  Save portion that you have cut off.  Deburr the frame rail with a file or burr knife to leave a smooth edge and cover any bare metal with touchup paint to prevent rust and plug hole with plastic plug, available at any hardware store.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 7: Using right hand side pipe bracket loosen 10mm allen head bolt back inside motor mount.  Loosen approximately 5/16”.  Undo bolt from frame rail position.  Slide mounting bracket up into bolt by sliding on back bolt first.  Do not tighten bolts at this time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 9. Put muffler clamp on muffler, slip muffler carefully onto header.  Use 5/16”x3/4” bolt to mount muffler to bracket.  Now you may start tightening all nuts and bolts evenly to secure exhaust pipes to motorcycle.

 

 

Step  10.  Tighten band clamp at muffler to header connection.  .

 

 

Step 11. Prior to starting the engine, wipe the pipes down with a clean rag.  Start you engine and check for exhaust leaks.  You are now ready to enjoy your RPW USA exhaust pipes.  Installation of this exhaust we recommend an Adjustable Fuel Tuner. See your Victory dealer for details.

 TUNING TIP.  To help prevent bluing, the engine should be properly tuned before running it with the new exhaust.
