Vance and Hines Short Shots Full Exhaust System - Harley Softail 1986-2009
About Vance and Hines
Vance & Hines has been building motorcycle exhaust since 1979 and has run factory-backed drag and King of the Baggers programs that feed straight back into its street products. Systems like the Torquer and the 2-into-1 designs are engineered around real dyno work, not just sound — which is why they show up on so many tuned Milwaukee-Eight and Twin Cam builds.
The Vance & Hines Short Shots full exhaust system for 1986-2009 Harley Softail models features chambered high-flow catalysts and PCX Technology. This design delivers increased low-end torque and an aggressive sound, making it a complete transformation for your bike.

A Bold Statement for Your Softail
The Short Shots system doesn't just look good; it's engineered to improve your riding experience. The PCX Technology and high-flow catalysts are specifically designed to enhance low-end torque, giving you more usable power right off the line. This means better acceleration and a more responsive feel every time you twist the throttle. While it's a direct bolt-on, we always recommend a fuel tuner to ensure your engine runs optimally and to fully unlock the performance potential of this exhaust upgrade.
