Default Would these pipes work on the Iron?

I'm a newb, so forgive me.
Anyway, it says it's for Evolution engine, but I didn't know if all Evolution engine's were universal, considering they've been in production for so long.

I'm wanting something different, other than the V&H options.
I saw this cool looking corsair style, and even their hi-n-tight pipes look cool too: http://www.spitfiremotorcycles.com/p...ortster-pipes/

I'm trying to visualize the corsair pipes on the Iron, and I can't tell if they'd even really look all that good.
I tried doing an image search for someone who's already done it and posted online, but couldn't find anything.

Also, any idea on how they'd sound as far as loudness goes?

Thanks for any help.

Harley totally changed the Sportster in 2004 and then went to FI in 2007 so would have to be compatible with your year of Iron

Give them a call and they should be able to tell you. As for loudness, if they are straight pipes then they are loud as f**k.

Also, check out sikpipes. Similar designs and as loud as you can imagine. I have the diesels on my 48 and they bring a smile to my face every time I ride.

As domantori said, you should give them a call and find out. I have to admit that their website is not very clear.

I have straight pipes on my Sporty and it's pretty loud!

Thanks for the replies everyone. I will contact them to find out if I decide to go this route. Definitely seems unique.

I dont see why they wouldn't fit your bike. I would just call the company and ask.

This company now officially DOES make the Corsair pipes for late model Sportsters, where they previously did not.

So now I think I have narrowed it down to between these and the Vance and Hines Short Shots.

I can't seem to find any pictures of someone running the Corsairs on a late model Sporty so it's hard to get a good visual of what they'd look like.
It's extremely easy to know what the Short Shots would look like. lol
