Default CVO mufflers

Gang I’m Thinking of getting CVO slip ons from eBay. Plan is to go stage I and II.

How do I tell they are CVO slip ons and I’m not conned. Do they have any markings/numbers on them to identify as CVO ? TIA

as far as touring mufflers go, you can easily tell the cvo mufflers from stock by the shape of the muffler. stock have the tapered ends, while the cvo have a removeable end cap. may or may not have heat shields as well. (they should but sometimes the po doesn't include them in the sale). there will also be a epa stamp on them that has the model designation in it.

in stock form, they will be quieter than stock. but with removing the baffle and replacing with the fullsac cvo cores, they make very nice mufflers.

you can pretty easily tell the difference between stock and cvo mufflers here:

I bought a set of new CVO take offs from a dealer on eBay and installed on my 2016 Ultra and really like them.

Just let it go…too many unanswerable questions, especially to folks that have no idea of the offer you are pursuing.

Maybe you should ask the seller? Strange concept to many these days.

Thanks. I did ask the seller. But Just wanted to double check.

Looking for just some tell tell signs.

I have to be careful of every part I install because have to ride 200 miles to the nearest shop.

IF the CVO muffler has a Fullsac CVO Baffle, (or another aftermarket baffle) you will generally see a it attached via a screw right Infront of the removeable end cap.

And just to clarify. The end cap will be held on by 3 countersunk screws. The Fullsac baffle will be held in place by 1 hex head bolt/screw at the bottom...6 o'clock position.
