Default FLHTK Slip-ons

I have posted a similar thread in the exhaust section but figured I would probebly get a better response here. I noticed when putting my new FuelMoto 2-1-2 ceramic headpipe on the when I installed the mufflers there was a dent in each one of them. The dent lines up with the area that the rear lower shocks mount. If I decide to go with Rinehart 4" or Vance and Hines Hi Output sipons will I have a clearence issue? Seems like Harley could of designed this a little better than to dent the exhaust.

Fear not about the dents, the total volume of the mufflers will flow enough to preform.
V&H or Rinehart's may or may not have dents, but are made to clear rear suspension.

I have a 2010 FLHTK and Rineharts fit my FuelMoto 2-1-2 just fine. I thought the same thing when I removed the stock mufflers. No issues so far with mufflers hitting anything. David
