OEM exhaust question

[Cliff]

Can the OEM exhaust taken from a Standard be put on an Interstate?  If so what mods, if any, are required?

The exhaust will bolt right up,but, the piggies on the end will not fit the Interstate exhaust tips. You could cut them off or use different chrome tips, like the standard or tourer tips. Or go with the chrome stacks

I used to have Interstate pipes on my Tourer...

Is it safe assume the Standard exhaust tips (on the exhaust system taken from the Standard) will fit on the intersate?

The std. exhaust will fit on the I/S, but there will be issues with using the std. tips on on the std. exhaust if used on an I/S. The I/S piggies and tips are horizontal, the std. tips run vertical because the std. piggies are vertical. There will be a clearance issue between std. tips and I/S bags.
Maybe someone has done it and has a way to keep the heat from the std. tips off the I/S bags.

Once you are dealing with the valkyrie hardbags, putting standard exhaust as well as truck stacks will require modification of the heat shield under the bag.

Mark-T sells a lot of exhaust systems and has easy to follow instructions if you go that route.

Why are the exhaust tips on the Tourer and the I/S arranged differently, the bags are the same arrangement? That being asked, then why wouldn't the exhaust from a Tourer or Standard fit an Interstate without any problem or modification.

    They will,  the only interchange problem are the piggies. So you can't interchange std and interstate tips unless the piggies have been cut.

I know for a fact that Interstate pipes bolt right onto a Tourer and work great. I bet you a quarter that
Tourer Pipes would bolt right onto an Interstate and work great.

It is certain that the exhaust tips have to be different because the piggies are different. My guess is that
the piggies are different only for stylistic reasons. I also think that Interstate pipes are a little
quieter (they have longer piggies) than Tourer pipes, perhaps that is on-purpose too...

Standard exhaust with standard tips will fit the interstate with no modifications (same setup as the Tourer).  Problems occur when truck stacks are used as covers or tips and extend further to the rear of the bags (like the Interstate exhaust).  This clearance issue is why the stock Interstate exhaust  has horizontal piggies and tips.

I like your thoughts on this, if you want to install Tourer or Standard pipes on an Interstate, install them and leave the tips the way they are, just as you would leave the Interstate tips as they are if installed on a Standard or Tourer. +1, the Interstate pipes are quiter, I would like some on my tourer.
