Default Header Compatability

Just checking if any of the gear heads in the touring section can answer a question for me....

Will 88" headers fit a 80" EVO?

I'm thinking not, but just looking for solid verification.

They should fit to the heads...not so sure on the mounting.

My concern would be that the ports would be in different locations than on my 80ci, either spread apart a little farther, or at different angles making fitting the pipes impossible.

I'd really like to get the newer pipes so I can mount up a newer, and easier to find set of mufflers.

Even their website shows the pipes for a 94 and back fitted to a twin cam 88...

I'd love to slap on newer style pipes for the sake of muffler availability.
