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. It's a full aftermarket system (not a quiet baffled slip-on), so expect a noticeably louder, deeper exhaust note than stock. This system is not compatible with the Vance & Hines Quiet Baffle 21301, so there's no way to dial the volume back down after installing it — if a quieter note matters to you, ask us using the chat widget on this page before ordering. If you're subject to a local sound-ordinance limit, check your state/local regulations as well, since we can't confirm a dB figure to compare against.
+ Does this exhaust increase horsepower?
Vance & Hines states the PCX™ (Power Chamber Exhaust) technology and chambered high-flow catalyst cartridge are designed to increase torque as you accelerate through the gears. The brand doesn't publish a specific horsepower or torque number for this system, so we won't quote one here — if exact dyno figures matter to your decision, ask us using the chat widget on this page and we'll help track down what's available.
+ What's included in the box?
This is a complete Shortshots Staggered system — chrome head pipes, staggered dual mufflers, full-coverage heat shields, mounting hardware, and installation instructions are all included. No separate hardware purchase is needed to bolt it on.
+ Will this fit my Sportster — do the years matter?
Yes, fitment is year- and model-specific. This exhaust fits 10 Harley-Davidson Sportster models from 2014-2022, including the XL883N Iron 883, XL883L SuperLow, XL1200X Forty-Eight, XL1200XS Forty-Eight Special, XL1200NS Iron 1200, XL1200V Seventy-Two, XL1200C Sportster 1200 Custom, XL1200CX Roadster, XL1200T SuperLow 1200T, and 1200 XLCP, with the exact years covered varying by model. It will NOT fit the '21+ Sportster S or '22+ Nightster (those use the newer Revolution Max engine platform, not the Evolution-based Sportster this system is built for). 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.
+ Can I run a quiet baffle with this exhaust?
No — Vance & Hines specifies that this Shortshots Staggered system is not compatible with their Quiet Baffle 21301 (1861-0072). If you're looking for a quieter street-legal option and need baffle compatibility, ask us using the chat widget on this page before ordering and we'll help you find a system that works with it.

How do I know if this part fits my vehicle?
Check the fitment information listed on this page against your exact year, make, model, and (where applicable) trim, engine size, or configuration.
