Avoid 10 common Harley M8 exhaust mistakes and learn how tubing, collectors, dyno data and riding style shape real-world performance.

Learn why merge collector outlets are often smaller than expected, how RPM affects collector Venturi size, and how to find the correct outlet for your engine. A properly sized collector outlet—often called the collector Venturi—can improve exhaust velocity and pressure-wave behavior. Making the outlet larger does not automatically increase power. In fact, an oversized collector outlet can hurt performance in parts of the RPM range.
