Default 2012 Wide Glide Exhaust ?`s

Just bought a new 2012 Dyna Wide Glide. Of course it sounds like a honda from factory...looking to make it loud. Found a set of python big radius exhaust on craigslist for sale. Guy had it on his 2010 wide glide. Wondering how much work it would be to make work on my bike? I been reading the new 2012 models have bigger o2 sensors and moved them also. Didn`t know if it was possible to pick these up cheaper and make them work on mine. Let me know thoughts. Thanks.

I donlt know alot about the situation but I have read on here of guys using the older pipes on the 2012 and just having to fab/buy different sensors bungs. There is some information in this forum I know. Try doing different searches untill someone who really knows chimes in. Congrats on this bike man!!! I have a 2011 WG and love it.

don't know about the Python's o2 sensor bung locations but i just put a Rinehart on my 2012 WG and all i had to do was use sensor bung adapters. the o2 sensors are smaller on the 2012's. Dr. V-twin here on the forum hooked me up.

Fitment won't be the issue the o2 sensors are your only issue from my understanding.

thanks guy for the congrats...after days of research found out like WG2011 said is fitment is ok its just the 02 sensors r smaller on the 2012`s. found a website that sells adapters and wire extenders to let the old style pipes fit on the new models.
