Default Rinehart to factory slip ons

Hi,
I’ve got my 2005 Roadking currently fitted with a FULL Rinehart true dual exhaust system.
I’m looking to import my bike back home to Canada and need to reinstall standard factory mufflers to meet import compliance.
I remember in the past that the Rinehart basic slip-ons mufflers you would fit to existing stock Harley headers had a different input diameter than the full true dual slip-ons.
Can anyone confirm this as ideally i need to remove my current Rinehart mufflers and fit standard Harley mufflers on to my Rinehart headers.
I’m trying to avoid having to remove my complete current Rinehart full true dual set up to go back to full factory Harley exhaust if I can get away with only the slip ons.
The inspectors are looking for the 80 dcb stamping on the stock Harley mufflers which aftermarket mufflers like Rinehart do not have, in order to meet entry compliance.

thx all,
jim

It is possible that Rinehart's are like those of Vance & Hines, whose headers are of a smaller diameter than a Harley-Davidson stock header. Vance & Hines spot welds a sleeve at the end of the header which is of a thicker diameter than the header pipe, thereby enabling the larger diameter Harley muffler to be accepted. Look and see if your Rinehart headers have a sleeve welded on. If so, then they should be able to accept your Harley mufflers.

Thx.
its all about visual presentation and inspection.
Even a loose fitted Harley stock muffler with the correct stampings would pass inspection as I don’t believe they even need to run the bike...

if you'd like, I can measure the inside diameter of the stock H-D slip-ons...mine are 2013 CVO screamin eagle mufflers. I just replaced my CVO exhaust system with the extreme true duals...
just chatted with the Rinehart guy...stock ID is 1.75" and Rineharts are 2"
