Default 46mm Screaming Eagle

Can anyone tell me if the Screaming Eagle slip-on's, with a 46mm diameter pipe, would fit onto the exhaust system of a 2017 1200cc Sportster (XL1200T)?
Appreciate any help, someone is selling them on Facebook Marketplace and I don't want to get them unless I have a good idea if they will fit or not.
Cheers

I measured a stock set of pipes off a 2017 Sportster 48 which are 40 mm diameter, but HDI bikes use a gasket between the pipe and muffler, part 27 below



Which takes up the slack,

In other words, yes, if you also buy a pair of gaskets to go with them.

Brilliant schematic, thanks very much.
I went to 'Mantra Motorcycles', in Gloucester, today to see the guy that owns it. He's a real Harley expert and he showed me the two different types of gasket. If it's the sleeve, that you showed in your reply, I'll be able to re-use it.
I'm going to get the pipes, Ł50.00, how can I not take the chance.
I think you've shown me that they will fit though, thanks again.
