RedLine Performance

Alright, so If t Make sure you That way, whenever I put out new videos, And to my returning viewers, my returning subscribers, thank you so much for your continued support. So They provide you with new heat s These are in black. But if you wanted to switch over to chrome, you can have them in chrome. Same they provide them in black and they also provide them in chrome. Now currently on the Street Glide, I do have the TAP Performance 2-in-2 headers with the 50-cals and zombie baffles. I really don't want to take it off, but I really want to see what t Now anyt Now the diameter on these slip-ons is 4. 5 inches, so I will be downgrading in size as far as the 50-cals slip-ons with that 5-inch diameter. Now if you've never changed out an exhaust before, t And I'll show you exactly how to get t Now I'm going to show you exactly what comes in the box and then we'll get t Let's go. Now in the 2-in-2 Redline Performance system, it includes your 2-in-2 headpipe with P-clamp, two port gaskets, one crossover with one P-clamp L-bracket, three 2-inch Accu-seal clamps, your front and rear heat s Now you can get these in chrome or black, all new heat s You always want to change these out. You do not want to reuse your old ones. They did include two quarter-inch floorboard spacers. Now they also included 18mm and 12mm b That way if you have narrow band or wide band O2 sensors, you can easily plug up the ones you're not using. And with those, they also provide copper crush washers. TAP performance provides you with a step-by-step guide. Alright, so for t I did use a set of piston ring pliers, a picking tool, some channel locks. I did use a 10mm hex bit, 5-sixteenth hex bit, quarter-inch hex bit. I also used a 3-sixteenth stubby hex bit, a 9-sixteenth half-inch and 5-sixteenth socket, a 5-eighth and a 9-sixteenth deep socket, a 15mm socket and some blue lock type. Now in order to remove my saddlebags, I do have to remove my seat to unplug the lights. I'll go ahead and remove the left and right saddlebags. Then I'll take off the left and right side covers. Now the reason I take off the right side cover, because you do have your O2 sensors right here, your front and your rear, what I That way when I take off the exhaust, I take the O2 sensors with it. I don't So from here, I'll remove the right side floorboard. You do have to remove t You do have two screws right here and there are 5-sixteenths hex bits. Now if you already have floorboard extensions, make sure you keep track of those. I That way I can thread chase those holes and get all that old thread locker out of there. Now I'll move the front and rear heat s You have clamps on the back. Now you can use a flathead screwdriver, but I Now for each of these, you have a clamp. Your left side is usually a 9-sixteenths deep socket and your right side is a 5-8. Now on the side of the bag support bracket in the rear, you do have a bracket right here that holds onto the exhaust. They do sell these brackets on tap performance. What's great about these is that you can adjust these in and out. That way you can get these as centered as possible with your rear fender and your bags. So to take these screws out, I'm using a half-inch socket. It's usually not that easy. Now for the cross under pipe, you have a clamp right here and it's a 9-sixteenths. Now for t Now if you have a cross under pipe, you have a bracket right here. Your bracket might be different or you have different screws. Now here I am using a stubby 3-sixteenths hex bit or you can use an allen key. So from here, I'll disconnect the O2 sensors. There's gray plug and there's black plug. And then I'll cut any zip ties holding them down. That way I can take them off with the exhaust. Now another reason we remove the heat s And for these, I'm using a half-inch socket with an extension. So you have two in the rear and two in the front. Now that I have those removed, I'll work t Just be cautious of your O2 sensors. Make sure those wires do not snag. Now let'say you are going to have your exhaust off for a w You don't want any bugs or anyt For that exact reason, I did pick up a set of exhaust port caps. I did pick these up off of 9 finger fabrication. They have a ton of stuff available on their website. Make sure So having the exhaust off is a great opportunity to get t Also, if you wanted to change out your cam cover, you can change out your cam cover. T You can easily access everyt You have your cotter pin right here. Having that exhaust off makes t Now I'll remove the O2 sensors. Now I'll get the front and rear flanges off. Now at first glance, these did look exactly the same. Now here you have the previous 2 and 2 headers. I still have the cross under pipe still installed. I'll go ahead and get that off later. Now the previous 2 and 2 headers are much different than the new Redline Performance 2 and 2 headers. TAP performance really wanted to concentrate on the performance side. They might look similar because you do have t If you look at the end of the header right here, you don't have a step as compared to t Now even looking at the cross under pipe, you can instantly tell the 2 diameters for the previous 2 and 2 headers and the Redline Performance exhaust. Now really focusing on the steps in t As you can see here, it goes from small to big. I'll go ahead and measure these out so You have a step up right here and then you have a step up right here. So really increasing that airflow and just giving you those performance gains. Now for the previous 2 and 2 headers, there's no step up. The diameter is the same all the way to the end. Obviously on t Now the regular TAP performance 2 and 2 headers, you're looking at a diameter of approximately 5 and 1 half inches and that's all the way to the end. Now for the cross under pipe, you're looking at approximately 5 and 1 half inches. Now for t So this first section, just So moving on to then you have your next step up right here and for that you're looking at approximately 6 and 1 half inches. Now once you reach the end of the headers, it steps down gradually. So you have 6 and 1 half inches right here and then it slowly tapers off at the end. Just down to about 6 and a quarter. Now for the red line performance cross under pipe, you're looking at approximately 6 and a half inches. Like I said, they do provide you with 18 millimeter and 12 millimeter b So if you have wide band O2 sensors or if you have narrow band O2 sensors, so for w Now when you plug these up, you want to use the copper crush washers that they provide and also use some anti-seize. Now I will be installing 18 millimeter wide band O2 sensors later on. I'll cover that in a later video. Now just be aware when you do start your bike up, you are going to see some smoke. That's just some of the packaging grease or anyt Now to tighten these down, you can use a 3-8 hex bit or a 10 millimeter hex bit. Now I'll reinstall the flanges. Just make sure that t I'll reinstall the retaining rings. Now with these O2 sensors, you can't really mix them up. The longer O2 sensor wire will be for your front header. Same t Now when you have these O2 sensors off, t Just make sure you follow your service manual as far as cleaning these off. If you don't have a torque wrench that allows you to get these torqued down, just get them down good and snug. Now t You want to go ahead and pre-install your screw. Get that tightened down. That way it gets t Makes it a lot easier to install on the L-bracket. Get a set of pliers, kind of squeeze that down. That way it helps get that screw in. I'll get that nut started. I'm using a 9-16th wrench to get t Now before Install the headers, I'll take t Now if you already had the two and two headers from TAP Performance, you did get t I will be taking t Now for 2021s and up, they did go back to a cable clutch. So if you do take t So you do not need to take t You have two screws down here. You'll remove those and install your bracket. Now for the hydraulic clutch, you will remove that will give you access to the two screws on the bottom. And for these, I'm using a quarter-inch hex bit. Now with the new L-bracket, comparing it to the older L-bracket, you can see it's a little larger. It also has a larger hole right here. So the torque value for these two screws is 22 to 25 foot-pounds. Just make sure you discard your old gaskets. So looking at the new exhaust gasket, you can tell w T I'll go ahead and install the new ones. Make sure it'seated properly all the way around. So here you have the cross on the bracket. Once you have t So it tightens down on that way it's easier to get those screws in. Once you have those screws in, you can loosen that way you can adjust your pipe to get it to sit in the header. Now to tighten t Now same t I'll clean them off and apply some blue Loctite. So for now, I'll get t I won'tighten anyt Now I'll reinstall the headers. Same way you took them off. You have two plans nuts in the rear and two plans nuts in the front. Now here you just want to make sure you bring t Work the cross under pipe onto the header. Now for your cross under pipe and your header, you don't want to have any gaps You want to push t You don't want any gaps or any of those exhaust f Get the screw on the P-clamp onto the L-bracket. Now I don't want to tighten t I want to get everyt Now just make sure before you get everyt Now if you have any lower fairings or a c I won't be able to show you that, but it's the same t Now I'll get the nut installed onto the P-clamp. Same t I'll get it finger tight. I don't want to tighten it down all the way. We want to have t So to position the cross under bracket, tap performance does suggest a 2-7-8 measurement from the edge of the bracket to the notched end. Now that I have everyt You have two flange nuts in the front, two flange nuts in the rear. Then I'll tighten down the P-clamp. Now when you tighten down your flange nuts, you want to tighten them down evenly so it seals properly on that gasket. The torque value for these flange nuts is 100 to 120 inch pounds. Don't forget to plug in your O2 sensors black to black and gray to gray. Now for the mufflers or the slip-ons. As you can see on the ends, these are exactly the same. If you check out other exhaust systems, they're usually different. Now from the time I released t So currently they only have the 4. 5 inch mufflers. They don't plan on going any bigger Now as far as the tips go, these are the only tips they have available. Obviously they have t I really love the logo right here. They went in great detail when it came to t Now if for some reason you scratch these tips up, w You would just take out these two screws right here and change t Now I'll get the right side muffler on. Now these are both exactly the same so there's no left or right side. So what I'll do is make sure that these screws are on the inboard side. Make sure you install your left and right clamps. Now before you clamp it down, you want to check all around the muffler and the header. Make sure there's no gaps so you don't have any leaks. Now if you have them all the way seated, they should be pretty much even. But you want to make sure that these are even on the right and left side. Now all of these Accu-Seal clamps are the same so you're going to use a 15 millimeter socket. Now the torque value for these clamps is 38 to 43 foot-pounds. Now the torque value for these two screws is 94 to 144 inch-pounds. Now for the two cross under bracket screws is 84 to 132 inch-pounds. Now it's time to install the exhaust s TAP Performance does supply you with all new heat s Now when you put these on, you want to make sure you orientate these where you can easily access them. Now before I put on the heat s Now when you install t You're going to install it down here and then just slide it up. Now before you start off the bike, you want to make sure you give your exhaust system a full wipe down. So now what I want to do is check for any exhaust leaks. So I'll reinstall the main fuse and start it up. Make sure the bike is in neutral. Now when you first start it up, you are going to get some smoke. So I'll just let that smoke burn off. That's all your packaging grease and your NECs. Now let's get started. Alright, so that's pretty much it for the install. Right now it's just putting everyt Now anytime you step up your exhaust game, you also want to step up your air intake. Now I do have the TAP Performance Zombie Breath intake. I did have mine color matched with the bike, but they do offer these in black and chrome. Also for any new exhaust, you want to get your bike properly tuned. You don't have to get it dynoed. Just get a good tuner and tune your bike. So all I'm going to do now is put everyt That way Let's go. Let's go.
