Exhaust???
I have a friend who just acquired an 89 Electra Glide with stock exhaust. The stock exhaust leaks and slips at the slip joint for the muffler, no matter how much you tighten it. I'm just curious who still sells slip on mufflers, or even full exhaust for these bikes? Checking a few web sites (HD, Vance and Hines, Rinehart) all list 95+ bikes.
Any suggestions?

Had a thought, what actually changed on the touring models fitments for the exhaust pipes? I mean the motors didn't change correct? Just the frames have changed and I think that only happened on the 08 to newer correct?
Perhaps this should be a new topic of what year pipes will fit what year ? Not trying to hi jack this thread.
I have seen complete used sets on ebay just latelybut as the OP said they show fitting 95 - , or 07 and 08 .

No, I read on the board here that Twinky exhausts fit on our bikes, so I thought, why not give it a try? My crossover tube shattered on me causing me to drop an exhaust valve guide at a gas station on I-90, resulting in this little adventure behind the motel in Pierre:
in 2007. I MIG'ed up what was left of the crossover tube (no longer available) and made it home with that, then bought a complete exhaust on ebay off some 2007 FLHTC-e-i-e-i-oooooh for about a bill, delivered, and put it on. I had to plug the O2 sensor bungs, and slightly modify one bracket to make it clamp a little tighter but that was it. Everything else fit like it was made for the bike, 20 years later. The auction said it had 500 miles on it, but I seriously doubt it had 3 miles on it. Here's a pic of my bike with the new exhaust:

Benboosted, My '93 ultra had the stock pipes on it. that year they used the flanged type mufflers and pipes. I think '94 was the last year they used that type of pipe and clamp. I cut the flange off the pipes so I could use later year se mufflers. My right side fit perfect, but the left side muffler would slide off every now and then. Two things you can do is 1, use a very thin shim to keep the mufflers from sliding off or 2, take the pipe to a muffler shop and have them expand the pipe for a tight fit. As for as mufflers go, I had se mufflers from a '05 on mine so you have alot of choices. Try ebay if your just looking for mufflers.,,

Like Dr. H,... I have new complete take off's from '03 found on craigslist for $100. I then got the Fullsac true dual kit new for $75. I then gutted the new '03 mufflers and installed Rush 2" baffles for $80. Complete new true dual system for $255 and they sound bitch'n, look new too!

Hi you folks!!!
Do you know if I can fit a Dyna TC headers on my 1993 Dyna?
My old headers are broken, and I can't find a pair of new ones, but on ebay I've saw a lot of TC ones and at really god price.
Thanks!!!

This has been some extremely great info for exhaust upgrades. Was talking to my buddy last nite and he was saying he had read in a mag a while back that all exhaust upto 07 will fit the evo's per each model.

Great info guys, thanks!
Dr.Hess,
I have to ask... after dropping the exhaust valve how in the world did you fix that while behind a motel? Did you locally score a new head?
Just FYI,
MC Creations here in Houston is awesome. I sourced a used Samson muffler, new clamp/copper gasket, and rear strut (that hold the rubber/muffler as it had snapped) for less than $140 out the door.
