the 06 Dyna was the first model with O2 sensors and the rest followed in 07-10. the popping on decell is caused by a lean condition. We deal with it every day when someone wants a free flowing exhaust. using the stock mufflers on a crossover system is a great idea. We have set up many police bikes with this combination and the police motor officers stay in touch with us commending us for the increased power without making the bike illegal. This was on bikes from 08 and earlier. Using the stock head pipes is OK but it is a detuning effort. True duals are for more flow for each cylinder. I hope this helps some of you about stock vs true duals and what years efi were implemented for all models.

I have a 05 E glide Fuel injected . i want to take off True duals and stick a set of stock head pipes and SE or stock mufflers . I know it sounds like I'm going backwards ! But I don't need loud exhaust on a dresser and any HP gains are quite nominal .
Had a guy write me has a complete set of stocker pipes from a 07 He says will fit . HD counter guy says 99 to 06 fits . Who is right ???
I was going to just stick stock mufflers on the Samson dual head pipes but I'm told that I will still get the poping and odd idle I have cause the crossover pipe is not there .
Is this correct ??
And yes my bike was remapped by HD who installed the pipes for the last owner but it still pops and spits at deacceration .
I had carb on my last bike FlHt It wouls pop like this when the o rings on the intake were loose or shot .
First Fuel injected model .
The last question What is the difference in the pipes off a carb model and a Fuel injected model ?????? I saw a complete take off a 05 on e bay for 75.00 and he says they are spotless but the guy says it will fit carb models only ??? Why would they be different?? Thanks in advance for any advice Seems to be the best place to get good HD info ,Thanks
installing the stock mufflers on the true duals would be fine.

I'm running Samson true duals but would like to replace the Caliber mufflers(too loud). Are you saying I can put stok mufflers on the true dual headpipes?

replacing the Samson Caliber mufflers for regular mufflers will not fit. the new mufflers need to be able to fit over the 2" diameter head pipe since they are a stepped header system for ultimate flow. you may be able to get the inlets of the new mufflers expanded to be able to slip over the 2" head pipe. muffler shops usually have the tools to perform this process. keep in mind the chrome will suffer at that end but the Caliber heat shield should cover most of it.
thank you,

i love the poping and spiting sound.. harleys always sounded like that till the late 80's.. i would trade my stock exhaust for true duels in a second.. i have a 01 eg injected
