MGS's sound really nice, but perform even better.
"Loud Baffles" (stock headpipe & cat)
"Normal Baffles" (stock headpipe & cat)
My stock 103 with Arlen Ness intake, DynoJet tuner, stock headpipe with cat, and MGS slipons pulled somewhere in the 70s/90's, I don't have the printout. They liked it so much, they saved the map for future 103 installs without a dyno run in house.
My next upgrade will be the full duals. But keep in mind if you stair-step like I did, the TD pipes are a bit larger... so now they offer a new set of pipes that graduate down to fit the stock sized muffler.

These don't fit 2013 touring bikes. Went to MGS to buy slip-ons for my 2013 Ultra. Mike from MGS couldn't get them to fit right. There is no indentation in the muffler bodies for axle nut clearance. Mike said he had run into this issue before with 2013's.

I ended up shimming the mufflers down with a few washers.
Reckon using the slip-ons with the stock headers didn't allow enough play to shim 'em?

Yea, slip-ons with stock headers. Could shim them to clear but then they looked misaligned as hell with the header.
Really like the look and sound of MGS. Just wish they would put the little indentation in their mufflers so this wouldnt be an issue.

Mine is a 2013, my buddy has them on his 2013, and MGS installed both in Lancaster. No problems at all (well, a clamp loosened up and the muffler worked its way partly off after 6-7000 miles, but its been fine for the last 3000 miles since I torqued it back down).

Your Street Glide comes with the lower 12" shocks, yes? That's the reason. MGS cans will hit the axle nut on the right side if you have the "stock" length 13" rear shocks.
