Default Exhaust ?

I have a 2012 Street Glide and when I bought it the sales guy said it had Harley Stock header pipes but with Rinehart slip ons! Now can someone explain to me or show me a picture of what a Harley Stock header pipes look like on a tour bike? I kind of have a idea but really not sure after loosening the rear cylinder pipe all the way to the right muffler to get to my clutch cover this past weekend!

Here's what I did and found out, I took bolts out of the support bracket holding the mufflers on, then I went up to the rear cylinder and loosen the 2 nuts that hold the header pipe into the cylinder then there was a metal brace about 3-4 inches from where the right muffler clamps to the pipe, it had 4 bolts, 2 holding the rear cylinder pipe and 2 holding the front cylinder pipe. I took out the top 2 bolts holding rear cylinder pipe the wriggled the pipe and it came loose but not all the way because I still had nuts connected up at the cylinder, but there was no connection to the front cylinder pipe to the rear cylinder pipes. So that's telling me I have True Duals but I don't know what brand, unless Harley sales True Duals.

If there are two separate pipes they are duals and not made by Harley. Your stock head pipe was a 2 into 1 with a cat where they joined.

well I know the pipes are not 2 into 1! These are 2 separate pipes going from the front cylinder all the way to the left and the rear cylinder pipe comes down and straight back to the right!

Then you have true-duals! A photo will help us confirm.
