Default V&h pro pipe

So i have a question i hope someone can guve me an answer to. I have a 2009 flhtcu with a v&h propipe on it. The rear head pipe has rusted si im looking to replace the exhaust. My main question is why is the propipe the only pipe that is specific for an 09. All other exhausts i have found are 09 to 16 whats the difference?

The likely reasons are that when the 09 bike came out there was a frame change from 08 and the bike still used 18mm sensor bungs on the head pipes.. 2010-up used 12mm bungs in a different location. The 09-16 pipe likely has both sensor locations and you plug the unused sensor. Check the pipe to make sure it has the bungs where you need them.

The Pro pipe I had on my 11 RK only had the 12mm bungs.
