Vance and Hines Exhaust Extension Leads - Harley Sportster
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.
Vance and Hines Extension Leads are exhaust adapters that bolt between your header and aftermarket slip-on mufflers. They provide the flexibility to relocate or extend the muffler position on your Harley Sportster, making them ideal for custom setups.

Common questions
What is the primary function of these Extension Leads?
Vance and Hines Extension Leads allow you to reposition or extend your slip-on mufflers on Harley Sportster models. This is useful for achieving specific aesthetics, clearing saddlebags, or accommodating custom bodywork.
Are these compatible with any aftermarket slip-on muffler?
These leads are designed for Harley Sportster 02 fitment. While they work with many slip-ons, it's crucial to verify that your muffler's inlet diameter matches the adapter outlet for a proper fit before ordering.
Do I need additional parts for installation?
You will need your slip-on muffler and exhaust gaskets. All bolting hardware typically uses standard fasteners, which are widely available if not already part of your existing setup.
