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.

Common questions
Will this air intake fit my specific 2008-2016 Harley-Davidson model?
This Vance and Hines VO2 America Air Intake is designed for various 2008-2016 Harley-Davidson models with OEM airbox mounting points. Please use our Shop by Bike tool to confirm exact compatibility for your motorcycle before purchasing.
Do I need to tune my bike after installing this air intake?
Yes, changing to a high-flow air intake typically alters your engine's air-fuel ratio. For optimal performance, to prevent potential engine issues, and to fully realize the benefits, a fuel management system adjustment or dyno tune is highly recommended.
Is the Stars & Stripes cover removable or customizable?
The CNC-machined billet cover with the Stars & Stripes design is an integral part of this intake's aesthetic. While it is secured with fasteners, it is not designed to be easily swapped for other covers in the way some 'naked' intakes are.
