03 Mufflers for an 08?

[08FJR4ME]

I did a parts look up and the #'s are different.

2003= 5JW-14720-10-00

2008= 3P6-14720-10-00

Can anyone confirm if these are usable on my 2008? I would like to try some modifications with them to use on my feejer. They look close enough just wondering if someone has used both at one point.

I would like to cut the ends off to see whats inside for one reason. I wouldn't mind trying to make some shorty's all gutted out for those days you want to ride with the HD's.

The part numbers are different because '06 and up mufflers have cats in them in addition to the ones in the headpipe. Dimensionally, the Gen I mufflers will bolt right up. I have '05 mufflers on my '08.

Thanks for that info. Out of curiousity, why did you change. Was it to avoid the cats on the 06 and up mufflers? I never new I had cat's in my 08 mufflers. "Interesting" Must be why she purr's so great for me!

I wanted to eliminate the cats. I used my decatted headpipe from my '05 as well. There is a 300 degree temperature difference where the cats are located in the headpipe (infra-red surface temp). I like to keep the heat down for summer riding and that's why I sold my '05; it threw too much heat off.
