My FLHTK stock 13" H-D rear shocks allowed the rear swingarm to drop far enough (when the rear tire is off the ground) so that the axle nut on the right side contacted the right muffler. So I used a few washers to shim the mufflers down from their mounts. The MGS TD headpipe offered enough play on the install so that it didn't look misaligned. My JRi-13"s were the same when I swapped them in...had to keep the mufflers shimmed down.
Try it and see what your 13"s do...hopefully they disprove my hypothesis! Let us know how it works out.
I have the regular slipons.... my buddy has the loud baffles (the orange road glide in the video below), and a 3rd friend (DynaJ) has the complete duals on his Street Glide. MGS's sound really nice, but perform even better. "Loud Baffles" (stock headpipe & cat) Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3v7DZ6s8o4 "Normal Baffles" (stock headpipe & cat) Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO8OgMRhEWA My stock 103 with Arlen Ness intake, DynoJet tuner, stock headpipe with cat, and MGS slipons pulled somewhere in the 90's (92 hp / 96 ft-lbs) +/- a few, 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.

Had them on my bike key word "HAD" I think they are great pipes but the thing I can't handle is the left hand side pipe will burn your thigh so bad its unbearable. The other issue I had was I'm sure I'm losing torque from a true dual set up as a matter of fact once I installed the 2 into 1 I went around a corner and she got lose on me, keep in mind I have a power commader and it was tuned for the duals. Believe it or not I went with a stock 2 into 1 screaming eagle set up. I will post the difference of HP/TQ when I get it on the dyno this weekend.

Ok so like I said I had the MGS true duals on my bike but after being burned on my left leg one to many times I opted to go to a 2 into 1 system. I purchased a stock 2 into 1 head pipe from a 2010 touring Harley and it just wasn't enough. I bought a old style 2 inot 1 fuel moto pipe from a member hear ( sweet deal too) Here are the numbers from a bone stock 103
79 HP
95 TQ
Not bad PLUS the pipe doesn't burn me.. I have the pipes for sale because my buddy put them on and took them right back off due to the burning sensation...
