Default 2012 4" mufflers. Im confused

I have a 2012 FLHTP, and I just purchased a True dual exhaust system from MDS. I thought it was funny when I took off the factory 4" mufflers. How did the cop who rode this bike dent the inside RH muffler. Now that I am about to wrap up the new exhaust I realize..... Wow!!!!! the muffler is hitting the swingarm. Is this normal? Do I really have to dent the muffler on an $800.00 exhaust kit? Did Harley Davidson design this or am I missing something? I didnt finish the system tonight because I need some advise

I am really not 100% sure of what you are talking about but if you notice the factory exhausts have an indentation on them and I think it is to give some clearence for the swingarm

Can't comment on the MDS system..... but my 4in Rush Big Louies definitely have the swingarm "indent" on the starboard pipe.

If they are the dents I am thinking of, they are supposed to be there. My big Louie's came with the indent and the stock pipes I removed had them as well.

Would your exhaust possibly be from MGS ??
