Motorcycle Repair: Exhaust for FXRS question, propipe, inch pounds


Question
Hello,
I have a 1991 FXRS Low Rider convertible that currently has Cycle Shack 2-2 exhaust on it, I bought the bike this way.  It runs fine, no backfiring.  I'm going to install a Vance & Hines Propipe and am wondering what torque setting (foot or inch pounds) that I should tighten the exhaust to the cylinder heads.  Also, if I switch to the Propipe would I need to do any carburator adjustments or re-jet?  I don't know if the carburator was changed at all when the previous owner installed the Cycle Shack exhaust.  Thanks for your help, Kevin

Answer
Hi Kevin.  Yes you will have to rejet the carb. and if you are going to install a 2 into 1 exhaust system. Why not install the best?.. The White brothers E-Series 2 into 1 exhaust system is the best on the market. It will make more horse power and torque across the entire power band then the vance and hines pro pipe. there is no torque on exhaust stud nuts. just tighten them evenly and snug. there are fine thread bolts and dont need loc tight.  JOHNNY
