Default Switching exhaust question?

Hey guys got a quick question hoping someone can help with. I have a 2018 Iron 883 with stock exhaust, and I also have a 2017 sportster 48 with the vance and hines short shots on her. My question is, if I wanted to swap the exhausts on them will it fit? Are they interchangable? I'm looking to put the short shots on the 883 and give my son that bike, and was just going to put the stock 883 exhaust on my 48 if it's possible. Thanks in advance for your help, it's really appreciated!

I don't know the answer but you can look at the V&H site and see if the exhaust model numbers are the same for both bikes.

Basically the same motor, right? I don't see why it wouldn't fit

That's what I was thinking. Looking at both bikes it looks like it should. Thank you!
