Default shift linkage interference/samson cholo ex

im assembling my build and noticing a problem and hoping someone else has encountered it.
Mounting up the rear cylinder curved pipe for the Samson cholo exhaust, my linkage at the rear shifter arm is at about the center of the exhaust. I assume the ss 113 motor ex port is slightly different than the stock evo, and this is causing the problem.
Looking at the Samson page, they sell an offset **** linkage, without much description.
Is this a common problem or common occurrence running the true dual cholos in softails with the bigger motors?
Thx, Kevin.

When you bought the Samsons you should have gotten a new shift linkage.
It looks like a shallow check mark.

Did you get the pipes new or used?

If I remember right Samson wants about $80 bucks for it.
Whoever had the pipes before had to have one to run them.
I would call whoever you bought the pipes from and see if they still have it.

I'm glad you were able to get it from the previous owner.
