VANCE & HINES - HI-Output Short PCX 2-into-1 Exhaust - 18-24 Softail - Black or Brushed Stainless

Give your machine an ultra-aggressive stance and high-performance with the Vance & Hines Hi-Output PCX 2-in-1 Short full exhaust system. Designed specifically to transform the Harley-Davidson Softail Milwaukee-Eight engine platform, this compact exhaust stands out with its short design and race-inspired finishes.

Precision-crafted from 304 Stainless Steel

Made from high-quality 304 stainless steel, this exhaust system features a very lightweight structure that optimizes the motorcycle's dynamic behavior and power-to-weight ratio. Fully assembled and TIG hand-welded, it displays superb raw weld beads. Its massive 4.5-inch (11.43 cm) diameter megaphone muffler offers a truncated and raised profile that asserts your ride's muscular style. Over thermal cycles, the stainless steel version will develop a unique golden patina, characteristic of racing exhausts.

PCX™ Technology: Raw Acceleration and Thermal Barrier

The Hi-Output Short incorporates patented PCX™ (Power Chamber Exhaust) technology, featuring a dual-matrix high-flow catalytic converter. Ideally positioned downstream, this internal architecture optimizes back pressure to deliver:

• A clear torque gain at mid-range, ensuring sharper and more responsive acceleration right from throttle opening.

• Unparalleled thermal comfort, with a reduction in radiant heat of up to 20% at the footpegs and up to 50% at the header.

• A unique sound identity, characterized by a deep, throaty, and powerful rumble that intensifies with each gear change.

Compatible Models:

This exhaust system fits the following Harley-Davidson Softail M8 (2018 to 2024) models:

• Street Bob (FXBB / FXBBS) Low Rider / Low Rider S / Low Rider ST (FXLR / FXLRS / FXLRST) Softail Standard (FXST) Fat Bob (FXFB / FXFBS) Softail Slim (FLSL) Heritage Classic (FLHCS) Sport Glide (FLSB) Deluxe (FLDE) Hydra Glide Revival (FLI) Breakout 117 (2023 and 2024 models only) Fat Boy 114 (2023 and 2024 models only)

⚠️ Important Installation Notes and Restrictions
