Default Heritage Trask Transmission Cover

I am considering buying a Trask vented transmission cover to replace the HD cover on my 2021 Heritage 114. Can I perform the installation without removing the stock exhaust?

You have the latest version of the oil pump. The Trask cover wont hurt anything, but there is a lot of debate about whether or not it helps anything. I had more blowby than I thought I should have on my 18. After replacing the oil pump with the latest version, I'm not getting any oil blowby coming out of the crankcase vents. So for me, I don't see the need for it. Your results may vary.
