Thanks everyone. The wheels are Roland Sands 21" front and 18" rear. Yeah the pipes are a little much but I am going to make some baffles to quite it down some. Honestly it didn't have a lot of torque in the first place and I really didn't notice all that much difference. It winds out quicker.

Jasond 29, the bike is looking good! That pipe looks pretty crazy but in a good way. Like others have previously stated, I bet its loud as F^%& and obnoxious! Maybe post a sound clip?
Assuming the 2013 are the same as the 2012 exhaust, they moved the ports for the crossover pipe. On the 2012 the crossover port holes are on the slip-on muffler and reqiure a mini exhaust gasket. Here are the stock pipes off of my 2012 48. Notice the ports for the crossover pipe are on the slip-on just to the rear of the clamp.
Here you can see the smashed gasket in the port hole.
Here is the ceossover pipe.
On the 2016 they are welded into the pipe just before the muffler. Notice the crossover pipe welded into the main pipe just in front of the slip-on clamp.

Curious why the change from 19" to 21" front wheel?
H-D list price for the 2014 muffler is $50 > 2013 muffler and a different part #
Has H-D ever incorporated catalyst honey comb in either the muffler or head pipe for the Sportster.
Know the SE version exhaust system for the 2012 FL has honey comb catalyst upstream of the single slip-on in common collector pipe.
CA CARB implemented tier 2 emission requirements in 2008 and Federal EPA adopted same requirements in 2010 for large motorcycle manufactures.
Maybe this question requires a separate thread?
Noticed in the 2014 parts book, every county has a different muffler, since H-D exports 40% of total bikes production to foreign countries.
