I've just ordered a 06 Streetglide. I have a brand new exhaust header from RB Racing for an Evo. RB tell me the pipes will fit ok on a Twin Cam motor. My Harley dealer tells me they will not fit because the exhaust port is a little different.
Does anyone know if Evo exhaust will fit a TC88?

Thanks Tom

 

i had these santee shooters on my 99 evo nightrain sinse i liked them so much i kept them when i traded the bike in and have reused them on my 06 nightrain
yes evo pipes will fit on the twin cams if you check the manufactures site online you will see they even list the same part no.s in most cases

 

the dealer is right. but even if they did fit it would not run right because you have different combustion chamber designs in the heads. bathtub vs d shape. The exhaust ports are different. it would run like crap and you would loose power throughout the power band. get a good exhaust like the vance and hines pro pipe. you eill be glad you did.

 

if u look at the vance and hines site you will see they are exactly the same part no. for evo and twin cam
example 17903 - (Big Shots) Fits 86-06 Softail®*, FXSTS, FLSTF, FXSTN, FXSTB, FXST, FXSTC and Deuce ($414.95)
oh look they fit both

 

I'm running a thunderheader from a evo fxr on my fxdx runs great no problem anyone that says different either doesn't really know or is full of sh t

I just put on a pair of Vance and Hines true duel exhaust on my 1996 Ultra........ they were listed to fit 1996-2005 . I hope this helps.

 

It depends greatly on the design of the pipes and where the bends are. Thunderheaders for example, on the Evo the rear pipe goes around the front of the timing cover and on the twin cam it goes behind the cover. I have found that most made for twin cams will fit evo's but not all evo's will fit twin cams. Does that make any sense?

What the heck are you talking about ? [sm=laughat.gif] Last time I looked the Vance & Hines Pro Pipe Part # 440-186 in the J&P BIG BOOK says it will would work for 1984-2006. Why do you think most Exhaust systems come with all the extra brackets and bolts? I take it you didn't install your Pro pipe so you didn't see the extra bracket... I'm with fxdxsteve on this one, my 2-1 Thunderheader for 1992-2006 runs pretty Damm good.

 

and I got it for $40 at a swap meet

 

Hey Mack theres no power band on 4 strokes guy lol, only 2 strokes where you use diff type exhaust, if they fit they will work you may have carb/fuel jetting or adjustment tho from less or more back pressure.
