TOCE PERFORMANCE / HARLEY-DAVIDSON M8 BAGGER
THE BOOTLEGGER.
BUILT TO BREAK CONVENTION.
Born from a racing-inspired project and brought to the Milwaukee-Eight Bagger platform, the Toce Bootlegger combines a true 2-into-1 exhaust design, a performance-oriented collector, and our signature Pro-Comp muffler. It's American-made craftsmanship with an unmistakably rebellious personality.
A Story Worth Telling
The Bootlegger began as a special project supporting a fundraiser for our friend, Sons of Speed racer and Moonshiner Josh Owens. What started with a distinctive purpose evolved into an exhaust with a character all its own.
Now available for Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight Baggers, the Bootlegger brings that same independent spirit to one of America's most recognizable motorcycle platforms.
It's not a conventional touring exhaust. It's the Bootlegger.
True 2-Into-1 Performance
The Bootlegger replaces the factory exhaust routing with a complete two-into-one system, bringing both Milwaukee-Eight cylinders together through a performance-oriented collector before exiting through the signature Toce Pro-Comp muffler.
The collector assembly is based on Toce's dyno-developed design approach, with precision-formed headers intended to support efficient exhaust flow and a strong, distinctive engine character.
For riders upgrading their M8 Bagger's exhaust, intake, and engine calibration, the Bootlegger provides a purpose-built foundation for a performance-oriented setup. Actual power and torque results depend on engine configuration and tuning.
Two primary header paths merge into one collector and one performance muffler.
Performance-oriented collector design developed around exhaust flow and engine response.
Toce's recognizable baffled muffler design delivers the distinctive Bootlegger appearance and sound.
A transmission-mounted rubber-capture bracket supports the exhaust without relying on universal band clamps.
Give the Milwaukee-Eight Its Voice
The Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight has a distinctive V-twin character. The Bootlegger brings that character forward with a deep, commanding exhaust note and the aggressive sound of the Toce Pro-Comp muffler.
From the rhythmic pulse of the engine to the stronger exhaust note under acceleration, this system is designed for riders who want their bagger to sound as individual as it looks.

Made for the Bagger. Not Adapted to It.
The Bootlegger is an application-specific exhaust system built around the Milwaukee-Eight touring platform.
Its dedicated transmission-mounted rubber-capture bracket provides a secure mounting arrangement designed for this exhaust configuration. The header and collector geometry are fabricated for the intended motorcycle application rather than assembled from generic universal components.
At Toce Performance, exhaust systems are built in application-specific jigs to maintain consistency across production.
Premium Materials. Built in Connecticut.
The Bootlegger incorporates chemically certified 6061-T6 and 6063 aluminum components, a 304 stainless steel spiral-welded perforated baffle assembly, and ISW acoustic packing.
At our Manchester, Connecticut facility, Toce Performance precision CNC-bends the header assemblies, manufactures billet components, and hand-welds the exhaust systems in-house.
From the collector to the canister, the Bootlegger reflects the hands-on manufacturing approach behind the Toce Performance name.
Make It Yours
The Bootlegger comes standard with a satin-finish header assembly and black Pro-Comp canister, delivering a purposeful contrast between the header system and muffler.
Riders looking for a brighter custom appearance can select polished headers, a polished canister, or both. These finish options allow the Bootlegger to complement everything from stripped-down performance baggers to more detailed custom builds.
Standard header finish with a clean, purposeful performance appearance.
Optional polished header finish for a brighter custom presentation.
Standard muffler finish with a distinctive dark appearance.
Optional polished canister finish for riders building a brighter exhaust combination.
Built for Milwaukee-Eight Baggers
The Bootlegger is designed for Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight Bagger applications. The system is distinct from Toce's Softail exhaust offerings and uses dedicated touring-platform mounting hardware.
Because bagger configurations vary across model years, submodels, and aftermarket accessories, refer to the Fitment tab for application and clearance considerations.
Engine tuning may be appropriate when installing a full exhaust system, particularly when combined with intake or other engine modifications.
