Default 2005 vs 2007 XL1200C SE Mufflers?

Will 2007 XL1200C Screaming Eagle II mufflers work on a 2005 Custom?

No. Crossover mounts are too different.

Is it because of how the crossover mounts onto the frame? Is it possible that the mounting holes and crossover holes in the newer mufflers would connect to the '05 crossover tube? That's what I'm hoping for because the pavement chewed my mufflers up and I can get new '07 mufflers for a song. Sorry about beating on this subject but I'm pretty desperate. I appreciate your input.

I believe it is because the crossover connections do not match up - at least that is what I recall reading on these forums. Have you tried a search? Maybe someone who has actually tried it will chime in.

I have searched my eyeball out. Someone who seem to know for sure said that ALL '04 - '13 Sporty mufflers will interchange except of a clearance groove in the mufflers for long shock Roadsters.

Look up the HD part numbers on SE II's for '07 and '05. If they're the same, good to go; if different, something is not the same.

All 04-14 pipes interchange... Unless it's the head pipes then it won't because 04-06 didn't have o2 sensors. But yes the mufflers will interchange

Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate your input. I know '07 and up models had EFI with catalytic converters, but would the catalyst create too much back pressure for a stock engine?
