Just saying you have a 1967 XLCH is not enough information you give you any kind of helpful answer.
You need to post some pics of what you have and what the problem is.
Right off the top of my head I cannot picture any kind of ground clearance problem a 1967 XLCH could possible have (making a right turn) with the exhaust pipes. More info is needed......... pg

the frame has been lowered so the whole bike sits lower, the bracket that the mufflers bolt onto is only a few inches from the ground. i was wondering if you knew of anyone that made an exhaust for this motor that can be mounted higher from the ground, i havnt had much luck finding anything. ill post some pictures as soon as i can. thanks.

I agree with Sepixlh, straight pipes are the only pipes you are likely to find. In 1958-1959 Harley made a 2 into 1 High Rise pipe (middle illustration) that went up alongside the rear fender (for using a Sportster in an Enduro, if you can imagine that), but that pipe has long expired. Shown below are some different pipes HD has made for the Sportster.
Even if you could find such a pipe today, it would cost a fortune if the owner knew what he had because it is such a rare pipe.
So what you are left with is to have someone who is a good Tig welder modify a set of straight pipes to give you the contour you want........ pg
