Default 2012 blackline exhaust

So I'm picking up my new 12 blackline tomorrow and I'm trying to figure out what pipes will fit this thing. As much as I love vance and Hines stuff I just need something different. All of their part numbers are diff tent going from 11-12 so will a 11 exhaust not fit a 12? If so what are the main differences and if not can I run pipes from a 2010 on it? Thanks in advanced, super stoked to get this thing!!!

from whaty i heard and maybe someone can correct me if i am wrong between 11-12 other than the cubic inch difference they changed the o2 port size.

I have r&b racing prostock pipe in black ordered

if you want r&b pipes be prepared to wait its been 2months and i still dont have them i called and they said they are on going to the ceramic coaters on the next batch run they do

hope this helps you out

That's what I have heard as well, I guess I'd just like to know for sure if that's the case or not.

That is the case. 2012 Softails use a 12mm O2 sensor. Pre 2012 use 18mm sensors.
You can buy adapters at the dealer I believe to put 12mm sensors in an 18mm bung.

the o2 sensors are small on the '12. www.easternperformance.com knows what will fit. call them up. there prices are very competetive and will match if you find lower. they also ship for free. ive always dealt with them. excellent customer service.
