jeffo Posted September 16, 2010 #1 Posted September 16, 2010 Hello everyone! I am new to this forum and I would like to know if the slip on mufflers from a 2006 FLHT (Electra Glide Standard) will fit on my 2007 Tour Deluxe like the road king mufflers will?
BuddyRich Posted September 16, 2010 #2 Posted September 16, 2010 Yep, Should fit. HD only make one size muffler inlet for its touring bikes as far as I know.
LilBeaver Posted September 16, 2010 #4 Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) Do note that you will need to fabricate (or purchase - some are listed in the classifieds) brackets to actually allow you to mount them. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=2199&title=yamaha-venture-exhaust-hd-conversion-mounting-plates&cat=7 Here is a link - you may want to message him to make sure he's still making them, if you are interested. Somewhere on this site there are the specs to make them your self. Lastly, you do not need to rejet your carbs or anything; worst case you may need to do a carb sync, but that's it. Have fun.

Condor Posted September 16, 2010 #6 Posted September 16, 2010 Check to make sure they don't have a catalytic converter....
jeffo Posted September 16, 2010 Author #7 Posted September 16, 2010 If they have the catylitic converter in them can I drill them out? and should I be able to see all the way thru them?
Condor Posted September 16, 2010 #8 Posted September 16, 2010 If they have the catylitic converter in them can I drill them out? and should I be able to see all the way thru them? I donno... Anyone???
1sttenor Posted September 16, 2010 #9 Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) I donno... Anyone??? Mine came off an "06 and I was told that they were supposed to have converters, but they didn't. Left in stock form you would be able to see a about an 1/8" hole of light, if they're like mine. There are threads on how you can modify them for a little bit more sound and I have.

eagleeye Posted September 16, 2010 #10 Posted September 16, 2010 You can drill it out. you should only have the converter in one side. I drilled mine out simply by drilling a series of holes around the outside diameter of the converter, as close to each other as possible, then after you have weakend it, take a pipe and knock it out. (you will need an aircraft bit, 1/4" will do, or in other words, a long drill bit.) As a side note, if you leave it in, it will get VERY hot. Good luck, Steve
pickinfred Posted September 16, 2010 #11 Posted September 16, 2010 On a past thread, someone said "If the number on the mufflers end with 95, 95A or 98, 98A the mufflers didn't have converters. Was true for my set ending with 98A.
RSTDdog Posted September 19, 2010 #12 Posted September 19, 2010 If you look inside from the inlet side, they should look the same. If one looks different, with stuff begining on the inlet side and basically keeping you from seeing all the way through it, that's the one with the converter in it. I think as mounted on the bike its the right one. The left one is virtually straight through, its open except for a baffle on the inside at he outlet side of the muffler. At least that's what I remember from the set I had from an 08 ultra classic. I ended up not wanting to try and knock the converter out and just re-sold them. I would want two mufflers that were the same just so there is no imbalance in the flow between left and right. I am keeping mine stock for now. I have a set of stock venture mufflers I may modify at some point, but after being on a 1300 mile trip, quiet is nice. RSTDdog
