Default Help Identifying My Pipes

Just bought this 2012 Fat Boy and can’t find any identifying marks on the pipes. I am hoping some seasoned experts may have an idea to satisfy my curiosity?

I'm going to guess that they're stock pipes that someone took the Sawzall to and put the slash cut on them. It's hard to tell from the pictures but it sure looks like the top muffler has a bigger angle cut into it. Can you take a picture of the end of the mufflers so we can see if it has been cut?

Stock mufflers will have a butt load of EPA info stamped into the metal.
AND the H-D p/n

I’m new, but no I don’t think it has cross overs. Here’s more pics. They definitely don’t sound stock.

The headers have a crossover (see the vertical pipe behind the tranny cover?)

The baffles are removable so they look like Cycle Shack (or similar,) slip ons.

I think Python made a slip on similar to that.

They look like Bassani slash cut slipons. Deep and throaty sound but with a fairly quiet idle. I run them on mu Heritage and like them a lot for the money spent.

I think you’re right! Looked them up and they sound just like that. Thank you! That was driving me crazy!

Those look like chrome oil lines, not a crossover. There are three oil lines going into the cam chest.

But you're right, they look like Cycle Shake pipes. That was my first thought.
