Default What exhaust will fit my bike

This bike is a new area to me, be gentle.
It's getting delivered so I haven't had a chance to hear it in person. I'm already thinking this exhaust is just going to be too loud. I might like it, I might want to tame it down. I want it a bit longer regardless. I like the looks of the V&H big radius...no long shots. I've seen some martin bros that I like also.

What I need to know is what year/engine exhaust should I be looking for that will fit this.

Thx for any help.


It's a 05 APC with a 96" S&S. Typical softail wide tire pro-street chopper.

Hey shore,

Take a look at our website in the next 1-2 weeks. There will be some Thunder Torque (Q) Inserts on there that might quiet your new pipes down enough so that you can keep them bad boys.

PLUS they'll increase your low and mid range power!

Nice bike Shore!...The 96: S&S is an EVO style motor. Any Evo / Twin Cam Exhaust will mount the exhaust ports. Where on the frame it will attach is another matter.

Thx, that's what I was needing to know.


I might try some more short pipes but just not this short. The owner says there are no baffles in these.

I'd really like a little fatter appearing pipe on this one. I guess something with shields is in order?

Looks like they are all within reason, price wise.

Ahh, these pipes are Santee LAF's. I'm certain they will be too loud. Couldn't be good for the engine to run these all the time. No baffles, no back pressure.

Not many sound clips of the LAF's.

I would put a set of Bubs Jug Huggers. Fat, not too long and they turn out at the ends.
