Ray how hard is it to wrap the pipe and do you have any tips/tricks? Also what is the benefit?

Sweet looking exhaust.

I have the F/P 2 in1 and I love them. Great choice

Sorry, what does "FP" stand for? Curiosity is now peaked!

Smokier....it stands for "Freedom Performance" the company in California making very fine systems for out 1700s. Many of us now have the combat 2-1 systems that make big horsepower and tuck away neatly under the right side. Can't beat the price, performance, and ease of installation from this company.

If you get the FP 2-1 is there any other parts that are needed? Is there a gasket you have to get for where it attaches to the head or does that come with the pipes?

Any significant issues with getting the bike's FI tuned after installing these? I'm using the Cobra scalloped S/O for now with a Chuckster intake and Dobeck TFI.

Thanks

You need new crush gaskets where the pipes attach to the heads. You can get a set at Harley for about 4.00 each. And they usually have them in stock.

Okay I just ordered the exhaust and I ordered a set of crush gaskets on line from a parts place. In the past my experience with ordering metric parts has been bad. Seems like everything takes a month to get. If they don't show by the time the exhaust shows I'll hit the Harley dealer. Do you know what HD bike these might match up to in order to make asking for them easier or did you have to bring them into the shop to show them the right size?

Their 103 inch motor is has the same size exhaust ports. I believe yhe crush gaskets are Screaming Eagle. They are nice because they are mesh and provide a better seal than a traditional gasket from what I understand. Most important thing is they usually have them in stock.

I ordered stock o.e.m. crush gaskets for mine from a dealership across the mountains here in Oregon where I bought the bike. I had them in the mail 3 days after I put in the order. I won't put Harley parts in my Kawasaki....my bike would hate me for it.
