Default 2-1 exhaust options

I need some help determining which exhausts fit on y bike, I have an 09 Springer CVO (FXSTSSE3). The exhaust systems that they claim will fit is pretty slim, but I have seen alot of different pipes on them, but the threads are pretty old. (yes I did searches). I bought it with VH Radius 2/2. Don't like the sound and I know I can get better performance out of a 2-1 exhaust.

I want D&D Lowcat or something similar. FuelMotoUSA has the Bob cat listed, but if the bobcat fits, why wont the lowcat?

You might want to look at the Thunderheader. I had one on my 09 Night train and it really sounded good, nice deep rumble.

My problem is that there is only a small number of systems that are guarantee to fit by the manufacturers. I know for a fact that I have seen other systems that fit my 09, but the threads are so old that no one has the part numbers any more. I checked Thunderheaders site and they dont list my bike.

When I looked at it is listed 07 on softail. I know I had one on my 09 Night train and they are basically the same bike. I have a friend that has the exact same 07 CVO as I do with the 110 motor and he has a chrome thunderheader on it. Good luck on your search.

That is correct. The only issue I have getting parts is that I think the 07 was the transition year for the softails from the 150 to the 200 rear tire on the CVO's and I find that if I order parts for the 08 model they fit no problem but they always come up not compatible on the 07.

Totally agree, thats why I am asking for direction.



I believe the only part that wont fit from another model / year is the seat.

How does the Lowcat sound with the 110? Do you remember which model you ordered it for?

I love the bars and the turn relocation. Was thinking of doing 10-12 Wild 1 Outlawz and Rolad Sands headling relocation

It's not my bike, just one to show you the pipe will fit just fine
