Description
Are Vance & Hines Short Shots exhaust systems street legal?
Vance & Hines Short Shots full systems are not street legal and are intended for closed-course competition use only.
Will the Vance & Hines Short Shots exhaust provide more horsepower?
Vance & Hines Short Shots full systems increase torque for a more powerful and responsive street performance ride.
Vance and Hines Short Shots full systems deliver a potent surge of torque for exhilarating acceleration, a claim backed by their 9/10 street performance score. Featuring chambered high-flow catalysts and PCX Technology, these exhausts are engineered for optimal engine performance. Expect a refined yet aggressive hot rod roar, confirming their place as a premium powersports exhaust upgrade.
What Owners Say
Owners and enthusiasts consistently praise the Short Shots for their aggressive sound and striking appearance, with many noting the incredible throttle-on roar and signature off-throttle crackle that turns heads. The exhaust delivers a calm cruising tone that erupts when you open it up. However, candid feedback reveals these pipes are exceptionally loud—sometimes to the point of being deafening—and several riders report a noticeable performance decrease compared to stock, even with proper tuning, due to reduced backpressure from the short, unbaffled design. Despite these trade-offs, the Short Shots maintain a strong reputation among Harley riders who prioritize bold aesthetics and raw, unfiltered exhaust note over outright performance gains.
