softail slip on question

Is there a difference on the screaming eagle slip-ons between the pre 07 models and the 07 model?

I have a buddy looking for some slip-ons for his 07 FLSTC and I found a guy with some that says they will work but they are from a 05 softail. Any mounting differences?

Thanks!

I dont think they will fit. You can check and see if there is a different part number for the rush slip onsorV&h and that will tell you.

I have an 07 also.
I was told that the 07 and later models are different, and will not accept parts from 05 and o6 models. Have him check with the dealership.

When I got SE's for my '07, the dealer who is a friend, told me the new ones were EPA compliant and I wouldn't like them, WAY too quiet...he went in the back and found a set of "not street legal, etc" slip on's same as I'd had on my '04 which I'd just traded in on the new one...they were new in a dusty box, but at least a couple of years old...had to mod one bracket, but they worked great...

How much mod to the bracket? That may be the way to go. I would hate for him to spend the money and end up with quiet pipes......

Just to put in my .02 worth.I had the se on my 07 heritage my friend had a 650 yamaha with cobra pipes. His 650 was way louder than my harley. IMHO unless you want quiet I wouldn't get the se's.I put v&h true duals with quiet baffles and the sound is great.

Nothing much on the mod, just rummaged around the garage till I found an L bracket to use as a short extension...it's behind the rear pipe, can't see it...but I'm real happy with the pipes...everybody and their brother in law around here is running V&H lately, not knocking them they're good pipes, but I wanted something different...and as I said, the new SE's ARE quiet, that's why I got an older set...trust me, they'll set off car alarms and **** people off just like any other exhaust if you get into them...
