Bassani down under true duals with DNT slip on mufflers. Gotta love em Install done by the pros over at Central Texas Harley in Round Rock, TX. www.centraltex...
I have a 17 Roadking Special with the bassani true dual down under full exhaust intake set up, recently I just had a s&s 475 cam installed and tuned and wow ... the bike sounds much more aggressive and a lot more of a roar. It’s also a lot more fun to ride now! I highly recommend it!
Best sounding exhaust for Harley by far. I have a complete set on my bike. Headers and the 4" mufflers. Opens it right up. My wife says she can hear me coming up the street 1/2 mile away.. Love these pipes
Awesome video. Have '18 RKS with stock exhaust. To me the stockers sound like my old Screamin' Eagles. I like the stockers as I always had issues on prior bikes with losing low/mid range torque after removing stockers. Also the stockers sound like a muscle car to me when I am twisting the wick and quiet when cruising and idling. 500-1000 mile day rides with loud exhaust gets to me after a while.
Love your bike man. Looks and sounds great. The Bassani’s with headers for me. As for the neighbors, well, you just roll off and roll on in and park. No need to feel cringe worthy, they’re all adults.
I’m stuck between these Bassanis and the Rineharts. Still haven’t found a good video like this one with the Rineharts. This video is awesome comparing stock to the Bassanis.
Went in today worked up a deal for a 2019 King Special trading in my DX as I said I have a question The dealer told me I should not put after market pipes because dealers are now voiding warranties did you here that or was my dealer working toward incentives ? @@MacksMoto
@@gallor1able my dealership didn't say exactly that. They said that a bike with performance upgrades gets "flagged" and if future warranty claims can be attributed to damage caused by those upgrades... a claim could be denied. Sounds like it varies dealer to dealer.
I have the same pipes with the power cam. Its sick af, this video is great but it still doesn't do the system justice. Mine have a deep low tone at idel but it is LOUD even when you dont think it is.
I just got my stage 2 installed with the same set up. OMG! Your video is very misleading as far as how loud they really are in person. You did give a warning, but I saw a comparison video and it seemed like they were not as loud as other pipes. Just as loud and in some cases louder. I'm happy though. Hated the stock, sowing machine sound the stock pipes have.
I think it's a bit more loud but more deep than the tinny loud. Have someone else ride your bike and hear it - if you haven't already done so. You can hear a rumble coming ...
Muy buen vídeo . Me gusto mucho el handle bar, creo que esa altura da una mejor y más descansada conducción . Me gustaría saber qué opinas de ese punto. Gracias y bendiciones
You know if you would of taking off the baffles from the stock mufflers it probably would of save you money. I did it to my roadglide an I get so many compliment it sounds perfect.
Awesome video,nice camera work I'm new just found your channel,subbed Also awesome bike,the Road King is my dream motorcycle xd Started riding this year,got a Virago 250,in 2019 I wanna get a Honda Shadow 600
I'm from Romania and here like all of Europe we have different regulations.I have the A2 license so I started on a smaller bike this 250 which was great to learn on but the Shadow 600 fits it that category and I can ride it with my A2,need a bit more power xd.
You can get the A license in which u can ride any motorcycle from 24 years or after 2 years of A2 which for me is gonna be 24 cuz now I'm 22 When I get that honestly I wanna get a Suzuki Bandit 600,love that one
Why the music while trying to show exhaust sound differences? Mute that shit next time. But the bike looks awesome. I need to change my bars and yours looks like the right ones.
Thanks man. I thought 8 mins of exhaust only might be kinda boring. I dropped it way to the back and left it constant... kinda like a reference. If enough people ask for it I might do like an extended "no music" version. Thanks again for checking in man. Your channel is suuuuper pro!
2:36 gotta love that United Steelworkers Union sticker. USW. Those are my peeps. Local 12325. " Steelworkers make bigger erections ". Nice sound from those pipes brother.
I just got this exact exhaust setup. Down under duals and DNT slip on’s. Kinda intimidating looking at the install? Which o2 bungs did you use? Did you run the rear pipe o2 sensor back to the rear bung? I hope I don’t scratch them up installing ! Ha
Dealer did my install 😎 you only need the larger o2 sensor if you are running a wide band tuner. My sensors fit the smaller ones, I have the fp3 tuner.
Nice video and bike. Was it necessary to do the hi-flow intake and tune, or was it recommended? Just curious, I have the RKS 114, plenty of torque in stock form. Just looking for sound. Thanks again.
I am no mechanic... but my understanding is that removing the cat/replacing headers necessitated the intake upgrade and a tune is required whenever you mess with airflow.
I love your roadking I want to use your setup but I dont know if my heat shields will work mine is a 2020 RG cvo and those shields have to stay with the bike thanks
You could run the dnt slip ons but the finish probably wouldn't match the heat shield/header pipe. I am not 100% on whether you can find a true dual manufacturer that will fit the heat shield actually. Might exist... I just don't know. You have a sweet bike man!!! Congrats!
You mean, replace the factory header (removing the catalytic converter) and keeping the stock muffler? Yes, that can be done. If you mean replacing the header and running your bike without any muffler at all... I guess that can physically be done but it isn't advisable.
Mack, Question: The DNTs can be mounted with stock air and headers yes? and the always ever popular question can I do that without a tuner? my 2019 should arrive next week and Im torn on exhaust.. Best Regards
I beleive so, yes on both counts. My dealership installed and there was a mix up at first. I believe that the stock headers for the 2017+ have different size outlets.... my dealer originally ordered pre-2017 headers and 2018 DNT's and had to re-order the DNTs because the 2018's didn't fit the older headers.
These are true dual... they don't come anywhere near each other where most headers have the cross over.

I’ve 103 stock road king classic with stock headers and titan 4.5 slip ons, getting the bassani 2x2 headers my question is will it be much louder, I really just want the bike to breath better, thanks
Breath better? Yes. Headers shouldn't necessarily make your bike louder, but removing the catalytic converter definitely opens things up. My bike plays better in higher Rev ranges and lower gears since I went true duals.
could you tell a low end power loss difference with the true duals? I have a 19 RKS and I installed the V&H true duals and ended up taking them off right away (yes I had a FP3 on it) because of the noticeable amount of low-end power loss.. I'm guessing these new M8 engines love back pressure from the stock headers
Just bought that exhaust set up for my 2019 roadglide special, what tuner are you using? And did you have to use any special parameters? I bought the steaming eagle pro street tuner, scared of voiding the warrante
Hey Lucas, how did the screaming eagle pro tuner work with your exhaust? I was thinking of the same setup so I don't mess with the warranty but have recently heard the se tuner might not tune well with the aftermarket headers. Did you get the true dual headers?
Do you like having your arms above your shoulders? Nice looking bike and bars, they just look a bit high. Can you do distance with those without getting tired?
@@MacksMoto I hope you didn't take it as a dig. I'm looking to get new bars. 16" and I'm 6'0 even. I believe those are going to be above my shoulders. What kind of bars are those, size and how tall are you? Love your bike. I also have the Bassani Down under, and the DNT set up. Didn't like the first day I drove home with them, but I love them now.
@@beantown_bennie6935 Ahhhh... you should be good man. My bars are 14" and pretty much right in line w my shoulders, I am 5'9". I like em pushed pretty far forward but they would actually be even lower if I pulled em back a bit. They are factory 47 signature bars
Did you have issues with finding neutral on your Road King? I recently purchased the 114 and coming from a V Rod Muscle, it's been a pain to find. Checking to see if anyone else went through or are going through the same. Granted, I'm still in the break in period as well.
I have a Road King Special as well and what I found is lightly pressing down from 2nd is much easier than trying to find neutral from first. To learn where the sweet spot is for neutral, put it in 2nd and very softly increase downward pressure until it finds neutral. Practice it a few times and you'll know just the right amount of pressure to use in the future.
@@MacksMoto just got the headers on and slip ons don’t fit, one is bigger then the other like for a stock header, now I got to figure out how or what to do...lol
@@BigChief909 so you have Bassani headers on and the Bassani mufflers don't fit? Yeah, that is because Harley changed the exhaust port sizes in 2018. Is your bike a 2017? If so, you will need to make sure the mufflers are specifically 2017 and prior.... I think. Dealer should know. I had the same problem and they had to re-order
@@MacksMoto yeah I have a 2018 and put on the true duel down unders and now both exhaust ports are narrow...thanks for the info. This video is the reason I went with this set up, it’s a pain to get all this stuff here in California. Haha stupid emissions laws.
@@MacksMoto man that looks so good on there.. did you have to raise the front fender to fit it?? I just bought a 2019 road king special with a 114. And omg its amazing
