Complete Your Setup
This exhaust is also sold in Black:
- VANCE & HINES 47219 — Shortshots Staggered Exhaust System, Black — same name and price, but its live Fitment tab is NOT identical to this listing (it covers 15 models including the FXDF Fat Bob, a Dyna model this Chrome SKU doesn't fit, and is missing several Sportster/XR variants this Chrome SKU does fit). Don't assume the two are interchangeable — check each SKU's own Fitment tab, or ask us using the chat widget on this page, before ordering.
FAQ — Shortshots Staggered Exhaust
+ How loud is the Shortshots Staggered exhaust — is there a decibel rating?
Vance & Hines does not publish an official decibel rating for this exhaust, so we won't guess a number here. Expect a noticeably louder, deeper exhaust note than stock. If you're subject to a local sound-ordinance limit, check your state/local regulations.
+ What's included in the box?
This is a complete Shortshots Staggered system in chrome, with removable baffles, full coverage heat shields, mounting hardware, and installation instructions. Pre-2007 models will need the separately-sold O2 sensor port plug kit (part 1861-0464).
+ Will this fit my bike — do the years matter?
Yes, fitment is year- and model-specific. This exhaust fits 26 Harley-Davidson models spanning 2004-2013, including the XL1200C Sportster 1200 Custom, XL1200L Sportster 1200 Low, XL1200N Nightster, XL1200R Roadster, XL1200V Seventy-Two, XL1200X Forty-Eight, XL883 Sportster and its Custom/Low/SuperLow/Iron 883/Roadster variants, plus several EFI, XR1200, and 50th Anniversary variants, with the exact years covered varying by model. Use the Fitment tab above or set your bike in the Ride Finder at the top of the page and we'll confirm the exact match before you order.
+ Does the Black version (47219) fit the same bikes as this one?
No — we checked both listings' live Fitment tabs directly, and they're not identical. This Chrome SKU covers 26 models including several EFI/XR Sportster variants the Black version doesn't list, while the Black version (47219) additionally fits the FXDF Fat Bob, a Dyna model this Chrome SKU doesn't cover. Always confirm fitment against the specific SKU you're ordering rather than assuming the two finishes match.
+ Is there a fuel tuner that fits this exhaust?
This exhaust's fitment spans 2004-2013 across a mix of Sportster variants, and we don't have fully confirmed Fuelpak tuner coverage on file for this exact model mix (part of that range predates current tuner coverage, which starts around 2011). Ask us using the chat widget on this page and we'll check current tuner compatibility for your specific year/model.
