Default What kind of exhaust is this??? Help PLZ!!!

NEED HELP PLZ i bought this exhaust off a guy for 100$ and he said he couldn't remember who the manufacturer was. He said he had it on a 02 sportster. I have an 03 xl883r which is in the pics I'm going to attach with exhaust on it. My question is what kind of exhaust is this, it looks like bassani sweeper but at the tips they turn out which the sweepers don't. IDK
Can some one plz help me out???
Thanks

I'm not sure what those are but they aren't sweepers. Sweepers gradually curve like the
lower part of the v&h big radius exhaust and they have a sharper tear drop cut at the tip

They look like Vance & Hines Sideshots, but with different tips and generic heat shield.

I have no idea, but, just curious, why do you NEED to know?

I personally think it's the kind that's going to get you a ticket for loud pipes.

reason i wanted to know is because i wanted to get a heat shield that would fit them instead of that heat wrap and also to get a bracket for them to screw into where my pass peg goes, or something to hold them down

DO NOT bolt to the peg mounts, it needs to bolt to something that moves with the motor. Any difference in vibration between the frame and motor would greatly stress the pipes and cause damage.

For heat shields, browse ebay for something that looks close and modify to fit, I doubt you will find exact matches for what appears to be a drag pipe that probably never had heat shields. Again, I do not know the pipes, but that is an educated guess.
