Been through all the pics I can find and can't find one like it.

Will post a pic of the muffler tomorrow (dark out now)

Thx in advance! :)

* edit *
All I got from the previous owner was that he'd "Stage one'd" it w/ ECM, filter and exhaust.
 
I work in parts at a Harley dealership and can't see it in any catalogs.

It's *loud*. My parts manager has a Softail w/ V&H Bigshots...I'm louder.
 
That's a real strange header/pipe design. I recall seeing something like it on one of the Euro aftermarket sites, but don't remember where.
 
I love the headers but I'm kinda curious why he left the exhaust straps on there. Don't they just rattle around the hole time? I'd just replace those with some smaller hose clamps so they actually hold the midpipe in place.
 
Hmm..dunno. Don't hear any rattling, but honestly, it might be and I don't notice due to the volume.

It's getting lighter out now, I'll go out and check for looseness in those areas and get a pic of the muffler/can portion.

Closer inspection finds what appears to be "Megs" in small script...

I did some looking also and could find what the header is. although i do think i have seen one before. btw that slip on is really ugly.
 
Not much help here, but having been an avid troll on this site for a while, I have never seen a setup like that before.
 
looks like custom equal length headers.. there was a recent post by a guy building something similar now... interesting can. looks like a strange collector transition.
 
Looks like a custom job to me. Probably pulled the exhaust off of something from the 80s and welded it up. Love the headers, but I'd say you could replace the lower half with a hawk or something else of that sort..... unless you're happy with it of course, then stick with it.
 
The headers look like Force, but the megaphone is almost certainly from Megs/Cone Engineering. Sounds like a leftover parts hybrid bodge job. A loud one. [smirk]
 
Nope thats just a stock FORCE , I have a nib one for a tuber and xb and they both say megs in script on the muffley body
