Default Touring mufflers question

I have a 2001 Ultra Classic with V&H slip ons. I want to put stock mufflers back on. I heard stock mufflers from any touring bike (Road King, etc) from 97 on will work, but then I heard that a catalytic converter was introduced at some point.

Can I install stock mufflers from a 97-newer touring model on my bike, or only certain years/models?

Catalytic mufflers were introduced on FL models this year. You can use another slip-on.....I think all the way back to '89. The older slip-on mufflers have a "shoulder" where they slip into the header........and are a diffeent inside diameter. The "newer" ones don't have the "shoulder" and have splits in the part of the muffler that slides into the header pipe.
