Exhaust Pipe Tips Fishtail Chrome Slip on for Harley Touring (1995-2016)

Vintage-Profile 36" Fishtail Slip-On Exhaust for 1995-2016 Harley Davidson Touring (Evolution & Twin Cam / FLH-FLT)

What It Does: These 36-inch fishtail slip-on mufflers replace the restrictive factory exhaust cans to provide an aggressive vintage profile and an unrestricted straight-through sound for the Harley-Davidson Touring platform.

The Stock Electra Glide Weakness

The OEM exhaust system on Harley-Davidson Electra Glides is engineered primarily for sound compliance and heat management, often resulting in a muted exhaust note and significant heat retention near the passenger floorboards. The factory baffles create excessive backpressure that limits the scavenging effect necessary for optimal cylinder cooling and throttle response. Furthermore, the stock mufflers lack the iconic 'Vicla' or 'Cholo' aesthetic, featuring a standard design that fails to capture the classic custom styling required for high-end bagger builds. Over time, factory chrome often yellows due to the extreme internal temperatures trapped by restrictive internal baffling.

The Engineering Solution

These 36-inch fishtail tips utilize a baffle-less, straight-through design that drastically reduces backpressure, allowing the Evolution or Twin Cam engine to breathe without restriction. This improved airflow facilitates higher exhaust gas velocity, which helps pull heat away from the cylinder heads more efficiently. The pipes are finished with high-luster triple-plated chrome to resist blueing and environmental corrosion, ensuring the show-quality finish survives thousands of heat cycles. The 1.75-inch inlet is precision-sized for a seamless slip-on fit over OEM headers, eliminating the need for custom fabrication. The extended 36-inch length and traditional fishtail flair aren't just for aesthetics; they alter the acoustic resonance of the exhaust pulse, providing the sharp, crisp 'crack' that defines the classic American V-Twin sound.

Common Questions

Will these 36-inch fishtail slip-ons fit my 1995-2016 Harley-Davidson Touring bike?
Yes, these slip-on mufflers fit 1995-2016 Harley-Davidson Touring models—including Electra Glide, Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King, and Ultra Classic (FLH/FLT chassis with Evolution or Twin Cam 88/96/103 engines)—equipped with dual 1.75-inch OEM headers.

Will these slip-ons work with 2-inch aftermarket headers or a 2-into-1 exhaust system?
These mufflers are built specifically for dual 1.75-inch OEM headers on standard two-muffler Touring bikes, rather than Tri Glide models, 2-into-1 exhaust systems, or 2-inch aftermarket headers.

Do these fishtail pipes come with internal baffles installed?
They feature a baffle-less, straight-through design to reduce backpressure, help pull heat away from the cylinder heads, and deliver a classic, crisp V-Twin exhaust note.

What finish is used on these 36-inch fishtail tips?
They are finished in high-luster triple-plated chrome engineered to resist blueing and corrosion across repeated heat cycles.

Is any custom fabrication required to install these mufflers?
The 1.75-inch inlets are precision-sized for a direct slip-on fit over factory 1.75-inch headers, so no custom fabrication is required.
