The mufflers for 2004 to 2013 have a big hole in the side for the interconnect pipe. They would be open on his 2022 with the way the interconnect works on that bike.
It's dead simple to fab up intermediate brackets to run whatever muffler you want, like how I connected the 4 bolt softail mufflers to the 2 bolt dyna support arms. eBay is full of the louder NOS 1st and 2nd gen screamin eagle mufflers at a good price.

I wasn't aware that the crossovers on any year Sportster connected to the mufflers? I'm only aware of the crossovers connecting to the head pipes. School me..

Sure enough, I also looked it up!.. But you wouldn't want screamin eagle mufflers from those years anyway just like you wouldn't want the late model cat ones either.
SE slip ons are not loud enough now eh. Times have changed. I had the first generation SE slip on on my '03 and they were the loudest things ever. I'd swear they were louder than straight pipes, like a megaphone for your pipes.
