the merge collector is 2 15 degree pipes cut to make what you see --- the black mesh is an old bicycle basket

Found these that look like others you recommended and should work with the current mount?

Really appreciate your taking the time to provide options!
As I said.. you will have to be a little creative with brackets.
Pretty much any OEM tapered muffler would work... the newer-the bigger!!

Default What about Carburetor Jetting?

Forgot to think about the need to re-jet the carburetor after changing the mufflers. I have not taken the carb apart so I don't know what jets / bleed tubes are currently installed? Its a S&S Super E.

Any recommendations what I should purchase for a stock 80" with stock sportster/dyna (I assume similar to stock FXR?) mufflers?

Also, I read about Yost Tubes, Zippers Thunder Jet, and the Bomb Site secondary venturi main jet. Any thoughts on those?

Thanks!
