Fxst Softail Standard
harley exhaust help please?
I have a 2005 Harley FXST softail standard with 88ci carburated engine, with Vance and Hines straightshots HS installed by Harley. I am wanting to put unbaffled Samson Groundpounders on it because I like the sound so much better. I am wanting to know if there are any pros out there who can tell me what if anything special I need to do to it first. I have heard lots of things about back pressure, reversion cones, torque cones, nothing at all, just slap them on. ect. ect.
I am needing help so I do it right. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Where I live nobody cares about the roar! Thanks in advance……..
Your carb will very likely need to be jetted a bit fatter.
The torque cones and reversion cones your hearing about are supposed to help make up for the lost back pressure that comes with running uncorked pipes.
I’ve not been very happy with cones, they really are not the same as back pressure made in the middle of the pipes.
If you’ve got your heart set on running straight pipes, just re-jet and live with the flat spots in your power band ( usually out of the hole power is lost)
Consider cutting the baffles in half, better sound and still reasonable back pressure.

Softail $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The term softail refers to motorcycles and bicycles that feature a rear suspension system with springs or shock absorbers to absorb bumps. On Softail motorcycles, the shock absorbers or springs are hidden underneath out of view to give the appearance of a hardtail or rigid frame. The word softail is a registered trademark of HarleyDavidson motorcycles, coined with the release of the FXST Softail in 1984. Since then, the word has expanded to include other motorcycles with hidden rear suspensions as well as bicycles incorporating a rear suspension.
