For last few days I try to research Cycle Shack Oval Slip on mufflers for my 2014 Slim. I am digging this up for hours and cant find any website providing description for model MOV-435
Is Cycle shack even still in business? Can I find some kind of reference somwhere or call this company to find out what models will these fit?
I am exhausted and frustrated at this point as this should be easy to figure out but I am loosing it after 3 days of research that is resulted in zero answers.
Yeah thats where my company search led to I even try to call and phone was disconnected. Anyone knows how I can cross reference this part number for fitment since I cant count on CS company anymore?
So I found out that this part number fits 2007- Later FXST-FLST models so now my question is should I assume FLS 2014 has same set up as mentioned models?

Here's what I would do. I'd check the OEM parts finder part numbers for mufflers at Ronnie's. Compare 2007 FXST-FLST part numbers to your bike (I don't know if you have a 96" or a 103"). It's no guarantee, but if they're the same, there's a good chance they'll fit.
Cycle Shack are quality mufflers with a great sound and chrome finish. They were once an OEM supplier to Harley Davidson manufacturing Screamin' Eagle mufflers ( the earlier ones that sounded good). They went bankrupt about 3 or 4 years ago after a lawsuit involving HD. If you want to know if these fit your bike try a current mfgr like V&H or Rinehart and look up any of their slipons that fit an 07 & later FXST/FLST and see if your bike is listed as compatible also.
I can't swear to it but I think the Python mufflers from Drag Specialties are the same thing. I know the dimensions are the same for my 17 Heritage Softail. I have Cycle Shacks on my bike and wanted to quiet them down a little so I ordered some quiet baffles from Drag. They slipped in there and bolted right up just like they were made for the Cycle Shacks. I ended up not liking those baffles (too much decal pop) and put the Cycle Shack baffles back in. The thing sounds awesome and runs fantastic but it's louder'n all get out. I'm used to that now so it's all good. Anyway, if you compare my Cycle Shacks to the Pythons for the same bike they're identical from what I can tell. Maybe you could look up the Pythons for your bike and compare the specs?
If a Vance & Hines muffler that fits a 2007 & later softail is also listed as fitting your bike, then there's no conceivable reason why any cycle shack muffler listed for that year shouldn't fit yours. The header pipe diameter, length and muffler mounting location/method would all have to be the same. You won't find your bike listed in old cycle shack info as they probably were out of business when your bike was built.

Not sure about great sound, more like annoy the crap out of other people around you sound. I bet the quality was great but that is about it.
