When I had my '93 it had the old style mufflers also. What I did was to carefully cut the raised end off the pipe. As close as you can possibly get , then you can use the newer style slip on mufflers. The left side has to be tightened real good or the tend to slide off.,,

I think bc means to cut the flange off of your exhaust pipe. The part that the strap clamp goes around. Then you can use a "modern" slipon with your existing head pipes (the crossover of which is probably cracked now anyway). A better option is to buy an entire new exhaust system off a twinky, like a 07 FLHT_whatever and use the whole new system instead. That's what I did. It was like a bill on eBay, delivered and fit perfect.

If you haven't decided what you want to do, and would rather stick with the original type mufflers, my friend has a set. Don't think there showroom quality, but they aren't rusty or dented. Let me know.,,

Hey, don't get here much lately, I have a set with turndowns.. the baffles are a little deteriorated, they bark pretty good!!!! My front pipes were dicolored so I picked up a set from a local guy off his 08 RK. I plugged the O2 holes and begged a set of stainless big ovals a buddy had on the shelf. $50 plus shipping would get the turn down set to ya.

When I updated my exhaust a few years ago, I got a Fullsac true dual kit and found some Cycle Shack slip-ons (with the 'woven stainless steel sound blanket') that were made to fit the pre-94 pipes. They are three or four years old now and still look and sound great. I bought them online, but can't remember where. I know that pipecity.com carries Cycle Shack; don't know which particular ones (slash up/down/out, straight cut etc.). This pic is from earlier this year, so the mufflers were over three years old at this point:
