Default Please help, FLHX exhaust question

I am sorry if this has been asked already, I looked but could not fine any threads on it. I have an 2008 Streetglide which I put Rinehart True Duals on. I am only 5'5" and the head pipe which comes from the rear head does not follow the same path as the stock one and it sticks out over the primary cover and because of this my leg is constantly up against it every time I put my legs down. After 1200 miles I could no longer take it and just yesterday switched back to stock head pipes and got Rinehart Slip-ons. The power still feels good but the sound I cannot live with. The crossover pipe really takes a way from the "patada, patada" sound I LOVE and the aggressive tone I love is gone. I want to get another set of true dual head pipes but need one that follows the stock exhaust pattern on the left side (or close to it) and cannot tell from pics on the internet which ones will do this for me. Now that I have Slip-ons that are the same pipe size as the stock head pipes I think there are a few different companies that make head pipes that will bolt up to the Rineharts. I am at my wits end trying to correct this problem so any help you guys cane give me is greatly appreciated.

Soos floorboard extenders work very well. The extenders will let you move your feet out away from the pipe.

Shipping is extremely quick and he is an upfront honest guy!!

As an added bonus he is including a Gremlin bell with each order.

The problem is when I put my legs down when stopped my left thigh is up against the headpipe. When my feet are on the boards I am fine.

Just put down your right leg. That should help.
