I would think the 2009's had the cats in the mufflers and the 2010 up do not since it is in the headpipe.

Alot of great choice's, I have the Bub 7 Stealth and are very user friendly, even with cams, The baffles can be opened on the inlet side for more roar if needed. Very quiet at cruise.

That was one of the reasons for moving them to the headpipes. EPA was upset that it was to easy for guys to swap out mufflers and then be free of the cats.
As far as I know in 09 the only baggers with cats, were in calif, and exports

Your correct.
I wouldn't bother switching 2009 mufflers for 2011's. I doubt you would be able to hear a difference.
Why not try the Fullsac muffler conversion. If you need a sound clip this is what the 2" cores sound like in CVO cans.
Bad video taken at side of road with cell phone. I held the throttle around 3500rpm and also held the phone at level where you would be sitting.

Take a look at Khrome Werks slip-ons... deep tone... free flowing... not that loud.

I have the Screaming Eagle Fat Shotz on my 2010 Street Glide now. I want louder so am going with the V&H Pro pipe next week. Will sell the Fat Shotz if someone is interested. 5000 miles on them.
