Softail or Dyna uses the bullet shape. Make sure whatever you get hasn't had the whole baffle core removed and isn't the catalyst type.
I don't like adapting to the stock Harley sized pipe. That kills too much velocity IMO. You don't have to use adapters if you have a stock sized pipe (1500) and a welding machine. You cut the mounting end off of the Harley muffler and shove the stock pipe inside. It has a nice pressed fit. (It really doesn't need to be welded but may have slight leakage if not. You can run it that way for a while, I did.)
What I did was cut the outlet pipe off of my stock MG muffler, then shove it in the Harley muffler (after I cut the mounting end off) and weld that in. I then used a coupler to mount it to my pipe. That way, I could remove it later if I had to. The sytem is now the same ID size all the way through and velocity is almost as high as a straight factory sized pipe. It has as little restriction as a straight pipe but still silences the noise.
IMO the center plug must be knocked out. Look at the number of holes on the outlet side of the baffle plug. This is designed for ONE cylinder of HALF the volume of the 4 cylinder it will now go behind. It was designed to handle ONE exhaust event, not four. Let's not forget they have a balance tube between the mufflers on a Harley, thereby connecting BOTH mufflers to handle ONE exhaust event every 360 degrees in stock form.
If you are so equipted (welder and grinder) you can increase flow with the plug in by the above mods. Having run both unplugged and unplugged/modified, it's my opinion just knocking the plug out is the best method for both noise control and power. (although does have some VW "tweet" with the plug removed and no baffle mod)
There is an extra layer of soundproofing in the outter shell that does a good job of silencing things.
It's a lot quieter than you would think and produces more low end power than the baffle core in modified form or removed completely. It may very well be the best performance muffler avalible for the stock sized pipe....as long as the center plug is removed. I'll try to get some pics of what I have.
I wish I had a dyno as I'd put it up against anything that's out there. It's that good....if you can live with the tweet (plug out, no baffle mod).
With the plug out and baffle mod, I have more wind noise than exhaust at highway speeds. It's almost too quite. I may go back to unmodified baffle and no plug. Bare in mind, this is with a 7.5-to-1 1500. Higher compression will result in more noise.
