Video-In this completely free tutorial video, we show you exactly how to install Bassani 2×2 Dual head pipes on a Harley Davidson touring motorcycle. This header system gets rid of your catalytic converter (cat), opening up the flow, increasing power & sound, & greatly reducing heat on the rider. Cats create a large amount of heat.

Note: Always check your local, state, and federal laws regarding motorcycle exhaust systems.
The Bassani pipes are nice because they are basically the exact same as the stock Harley head pipes minus the catalytic (cat) converter. This opens up the flow of exhaust, creates power & sound, and significantly cuts down on the heat on a rider. They also re-use the stock chrome heat shields, which saves you money. These headers have both 18mm and 12mm O2 sensor ports. You can use your stock Harley o2 sensors with these headers. If you want to change your O2 sensors out and use wide-band O2 sensors then you can use the larger 18mm ports. Plugs come with the headers for 12mm and 18mm, so you can plug one set off.
Putting these headers on increased the sound of Lurch's bike, because of the cat now being gone. It also increased performance & cut out a ton of heat. Lurch was already running V&H Titan 450 OS slip-on mufflers.
Remapping your motorcycle's Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) is necessary when you change the flow of exhaust or air intake on your Harley, such as we did in these exhaust installs. Make it easy and get a V&H Fuelpak 3 Electronic Fuel Injection Tuner from our store. We highly recommend this EFI tuner and we use it heavily here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media.

We didn't notice any significant increase or decrease in performance after install of these Python True Duals. However, we did notice a great improvement in sound and the reduction of heat from having no cats. We do have some back pressure with these Pythons because Big Daddy is running Vance & Hines Eliminator 400 slip-on mufflers with them.

Went to your store site, all I see is Vance & Hines exhaust..no bassani.

I would like to hear your opinion about the environmental and health effects of removing the CATs. Most of the bikers I know are very generous with their time and money when it comes to helping wounded vets, sick children, and other charities. But many children are MADE SICK by air pollution caused by vehicle emissions. Would it not be a worthwhile charity to help sick children by reinstalling your CATs? I want to leave a cleaner world to the grandchildren.

What settings did you use on the FP3 for the Bassani 2×2 duals?
Ryan Urlacher says
Just pick something that is close to that setup. It’ll work fine. Or call V&H and ask them. They’ll guide you.
