Question Deluxe exhaust question

I own an 07 Deluxe and have recently bought the Heritage Springer Classic bags and seat with fringe. In order to mount the bags, the stock exhaust will have to go. I´m thinking about replacing it with duals (fishtails). I guess there have already been lots of threads on this topic, but my problem is that I live in Germany and none of the nice US pipes (V&H, Samsons etc.) are legal here. So I can either take the very expensive road (Kess-Tech (made in Germany) for about almost 4,000 bucks, yes!!! ) or look for alternatives. So here my question: Can anybody tell me whether the stock exhaust of the Softail Springer Classic will fit without any (bigger) changes? If so, any parts number available? Thank you!

Hazel

V&H has is available with a quite baffel. Or, just any pipe from America is illegal?
You can always buy a set of pipes here in the states and have the KESS TECH logo engraved on it.
Good luck...

Wow that sucks, very strict environmental rules in Europe. Image how your ride would look with the V&H true duals with fishtails.....

Yeah, getting past a TUV can be a pain.

Cheapest route. Get a set of takeoffs from a Heritage. Now normal sized bags will fit.

Yes the stock exhaust off a Heritage Springer or a Springer Classic will bolt right on.... Just make sure you get the OEM muffler brackets..
