Can 2008 RK Mufflers Work on a 2005 Venture?

[birin]

Some previous posts seemed to indicate that only "non catalytic" mufflers from older generation RK's will work on the Venture. I have the chance to buy some 2008 RK pipes and the numbers do NOT have

95

95a

98

or 98a

 

as the last digits.

Any reason why the newer RK catalytic mufflers will not work - without any modification (drilling)???

 

Thanks

I've got 08 Road Glide pipes on mine. They work fine, cat converter and all.

They will work fine, put them on and ride

I just purchased a new set of RK slip on's from a 2006 RK. Maybe I am reading too much but most on the site are saying they will not work and need to be drilled out if installing. Yet some say they will work just install them cat and all.

 

I have a 2004 RSV and really would like a beefier sound.

 

Please help!

They will work just fine as is and will help with emissions to

Thanks my friend.

What is with all the hype regarding removing the Catalytic converter. Some have even posted that the engine will burn out due to uneven pressures??????

 

Have you installed a set with the cat in tact?

 

Thanks again for the reply

Are they hard to mount, any fabrication needed?

Why are you guys paying for HD takeoffs?

 

Hang out with some HD riders and you WILL be given a set of muflers.

 

I was given two sets...........

You'll need a special plate found here http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=2199&title=yamaha-venture-exhaust-hd-conversion-mounting-plates&cat=7

 

and some HD couplings. The install is very easy..
