Vance & Hines PCX Exhausts

Cycle News Staff | August 7, 2022

Vance & Hines is upgrading 16 of its popular exhaust systems to include the new PCX (Power Chamber Exhaust) technology.

**Power Chamber Exhaust technology allows Power Duals to retain their classic styling and deliver more torque and more comfort for the rider.**

Vance & Hines explains that the PCX-equipped exhausts utilize a high-flow double-matrix catalyst to improve torque. The catalyst is positioned so that heat is further away from the rider, and the new technology produces a deeper full-throated exhaust rumble overall. The inclusion of the catalyst also ensures EPA emissions compliance.

Here is more information from the Vance & Hines press release:

Santa Fe Springs, CA (August 1, 2022) – Vance & Hines will debut new Power Chamber Exhaust (PCX) versions of its most popular exhaust systems at the Sturgis Rally starting this week. The company’s new PCX technology delivers higher performance and rider comfort while retaining the popular style of Vance & Hines exhaust systems. The extensive launch impacts 16 different part numbers and includes top-selling styles including Vance & Hines Power Duals, Big Radius, Shortshots Staggered and Big Shots Staggered. The inclusion of a catalyst ensures EPA emissions compliance on all PCX systems.

The Vance & Hines’ exclusive Power Chamber Exhaust technology uses a high-flow double-matrix catalyst that improves torque delivery through the mid-range rpm, which delivers more responsive acceleration. The catalyst positioning is deeper into the exhaust system moving catalyst heat further away from the rider and improving rider comfort over a stock system. The new technology produces an even deeper full-throated rumble while retaining the sculpted styling of each of the exhaust systems.

“The whole team from Vance & Hines is thrilled to launch the new PCX technology at Sturgis, this is a huge moment for our company,” said Vance & Hines President and CEO Mike Kennedy. “Our technology delivers exactly what riders have asked for, more torque and less heat.”

PCX technology-equipped exhaust systems will be sold at the two Vance & Hines locations at the Sturgis Rally, which starts this week. Company staff will show all of Vance & Hines top products at both Black Hills Harley-Davidson in Rapid City and at J&P Cycles in Sturgis. In addition to exhaust systems, the show trucks will feature the expanding line of VO2 Air Intake products and the FP4 engine management system, introduced earlier this year.

PCX Systems will replace previous versions in the company’s product portfolio.

**Vance & Hines’ Shortshots Staggered exhaust system has an even deeper, full-throated rumble, along with more torque because of the company’s innovative PCX technology.**
