V&H Shortshots Staggered PCX Chrome Softail 18-22 (Fits: Fatboy + Breakout + FXDR) (WAS V17235)

The Vance & Hines Shortshots Staggered is a full exhaust system for 2018–2022 Harley-Davidson Softail models, including the Fat Boy, Breakout and FXDR. Its short, staggered dual-outlet layout gives the bike a tighter, stripped-back profile, finished in chrome with full-coverage heat shields.

This version uses Vance & Hines PCX (Power Chamber Exhaust) technology with a chambered high-flow catalyst cartridge, designed to build torque low in the rev range for stronger pull away from a standstill, along with a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note.

Supersedes part number V17235. Please confirm fitment for your exact model and year before ordering.

Fit to a completely cold engine and exhaust to avoid burns and to allow accurate alignment of the head pipes and mufflers.
Leave all fasteners finger-tight until the full system, heat shields and mounting brackets are aligned, then tighten in stages so the pipes are not pulled out of position.
Handle the chrome with clean gloves during installation; fingerprints and oils baked onto hot chrome can leave permanent stains.
Before the first ride, wipe the pipes down with a clean, dry cloth to remove any residual oils or packaging film.
Expect some discolouration near the head pipes over time; this is normal for chrome exhausts run at high temperatures.
Clean only when the exhaust is cold, using a mild automotive soap and water and a soft cloth, then dry fully to prevent water spots.
Use a dedicated chrome polish for light staining; avoid abrasive pads, oven cleaners, wheel cleaners or solvent-based degreasers, which can damage the finish.
Do not spray cold water or pressure-wash a hot exhaust, as thermal shock can discolour or distort the pipes.
Re-check all mounting hardware and heat shield clamps after the first few hundred kilometres and periodically thereafter, as heat cycling can loosen fasteners.
Have your fuel management set up appropriately for the system and your engine configuration, and check with a qualified technician regarding local road-use and emissions compliance before riding on the road.
