Vance & Hines motorcycle exhaust systems have been winning races for over 25 years. Started by Terry Vance and Byron Hines this company pioneered the sport bike market with the SS2R exhaust and the S4 exhaust. Then they went on to revolutionize the cruiser market with the 220 degree full coverage heat shields. These days Byron Hines runs the race shop in Brownsburg, IN. This is the home of Screamin' Eagle Harley-Davidson race team and Vance & Hines Motorsports. At the race shop they offer custom engine building services and custom machining. Terry Vance is in charge of the Vance & Hines headquarters in Santa Fe Springs, CA. The street shop produces the high quality exhausts that you have come to expect from Vance & Hines Performance Motorcycle Exhaust.

All of the exhaust systems are designed and manufactured in the United States by engineers who understand how to combine good looks and great performance. Their employee's are trained and committed to paying strict attention to detail. The end result is unrivaled performance and high quality on all Vance & Hines exhaust systems and Vance & Hines Slip On Exhaust.

Their innovative ideas over the last two and a half decades have lead to a rapid progression in motorcycle exhaust technology. A good example of this is the Power Chamber, a race inspired technology that is described as a unique cross over system. Basically what the Power Chamber does is it uses the volume of both mufflers to improve the scavenging ability of each cylinder for more efficient combustion and in turn better performance. The technology allows them to deliver a 2-into-2 exhaust configuration that has the power advantages of a 2-into-1 exhaust configuration. The end result, Vance & Hines motorcycle exhaust systems that have great looks and outstanding performance.

Another technological break-through came with the advent of the full coverage heat shields. Bluing of exhaust pipes has been a long time problem for motorcycle owners. V & H took the problem head on and gave us the 220 degree heat shield that eliminates bluing and protects the rider from the hot metal that is usually exposed. This is great news considering a common trademark of motorcycle owners over the years is a scare on the back of the calf from an exhaust burn. Your exhaust won’t blue and your legs won’t burn, it sounds like a win, win situation!

Another example of the engineering that goes into these exhaust systems is the use of Step Headers. Steps in the header pipes of select exhausts cause different speeds for exhaust gases to travel creating more power and torque. This will aid in giving your cycle better throttle response.

The baffles on each exhaust are engineered to match the engine and exhaust of each model for optimal results in performance and sound quality. The baffles are easily removed or installed with the twist of an allen head screw.

The Vance & Hines Longshots and Vance & Hines Straightshots can be customized with optional Vance & Hines Hot Tips. Hot Tips are a great inexpensive way to customize the look of your motorcycle. Hot Tips are billet and configurations include the standard straight cut billet hot tip, the billet taper, the fishtail, the twin fin, and the velocity hot tip. These are all great options to give your motorcycle some uniqueness and style.

Quiet baffles are offered on their most popular exhaust models bring a reduction of 2-3 dBs of sound volume. Along with sound reduction these quiet baffles also aid in the build-up of back pressure. Like the standard baffle, the quiet baffle is installed with a single allen screw from the motorcycle side of the exhaust.
