Default A different exhaust question 2013 WG

Hello, been lurking for a bit now. Been doing a ton of reading since receiving a 2013 Wide Glide at Christmas from my wife. Best present ever BTW lol.
Since its winter in Alberta, I have mostly been staring at it. However I have added an RSD air intake and the Fuelmoto micro tuner. And driving myself nuts with pipes. I have two questions, in regards to that, and exhaust. Since my o2 sensors are basically eliminated by the tuner, what year of pipes would apply to a 2013? From searching it looks like I can go a bit older if I choose, as the bungs appear to be what changes on a lot of them.

Second, and a long shot, but I have a line on some V&H Big radius. Unfortunately they are off a 2013 Breakout. Im guessing these wouldn't mount up. Any idea what it would take to get them to work? Im sure fabbing a bracket, but what else? Or would they even work? Mostly just curious on this one. Not entirely keen on buying expensive pipes to hack up to make work but thought I would check in case its simpler than I envision.

Thanks.

unless you like the style, and want noise, do not get V&H pipes.
they do rob the low end torque compared to other pipes.
thats my 2 cents.
ps. get pipes specific to your bike. the mounting plates are different, even if you can get the pipes to fit.

Actually, the V&H Pro Pipe makes great torque compared to a lot of pipes. I can't speak for teh Big radius pipes because I don't care for how they look and never owned them.

they are pricey but rb racing 2-1 system would be my exhaust choice if i had the $$$. i just went with V&H short shots cause they are cheap and came with free shipping in canada *canadian supplier*. your 02 sensors will always be on there as they are integral to your fuel managment and ecu system. 06-2013 IIRC all use the same pipe

Dude, Thunderheader. Don't have them on yet, but based on everything I read, I am sold.
