Default Exhaust Question

Does anyone know of an exhaust that's either true dual or even a crossover that uses a 3-1/2 or 4" muffler instead of a narrow one?..I'm trying to create an old school FL look on my 12 Deluxe. Thanks Blooz

Here's a start from Samson

True Dual crossovers with 4" mufflers

Search the manufacturers websites

What about 4" muffler slip-ons?

Those Samsons look nice Doc. A little long out the back, but I've found out that when your'e looking at exhausts, ya can't have your cake and eat it too.

Supertrapp made a nice 2 into 1 Vintage system... But they stop at 2011, and they discourage using the 02 sensor adapters. They say the sensor doesn't go deep enough into the pipe with the adapter...... 4" slip ons are nice, but what about a mounting system?..I'm assuming ya don't get much in that regard when ya buy a header and then try and get mufflers. This may wind up being something that isn't going to be available. Might be best to hold off till the makers decide to start on the 2012 models. Thanks for your help!

I hear ya. Another option is to have custom headers made and use slip-ons. Sometimes it's definitely a compromise. Good luck.
