I have a V&H on my stock pipe and i like it because it’s not to loud. I want to install a race pipe and have the same sound.

Pretty sure race header and stock have different sized collectors. Good luck finding one anymore, though.

The collector outlets are the same diameter, but the race pipe ends about 5 or so inches farther back. The race muffler is shorter to fit this (as well as save weight.) I think Twin MC in Netherlands makes a reproduction of the race muffler. Their web site is kind of not so good for searching. Any X1 muffler will fit M2, usually searching ebay or Google for X1 yields more results than M2. It seems like if you got a shorter Supertrapp or willing to cut off some of the V&H muffler, you could make something work. KDFab might be able to make a custom one, if they're still in business.

1999 -2002 Buell twins are all 2.5” muffler inlets, all previous year M2 models were 2”.
If you have a 1999 or later, you may be able to modify the elbow fitting on your V&H.
SuperTrapps have a different sound, but they still offer a muffler that will fit a race header.

As long as you have a Vance & Hines pipe that points to the back or the race exhaust, which points to the back, Supertrapp is great. Find the Supertrapp part numbers the following Bad Web link;

How bad ass would it be if I used a Borla, https://www.borla.com/products/universal-muffler-4 01382 . A new flow master FX is so cheap, made overseas, i could use it for mock-up.

Twin MC does offer a reproduction race can... but last time I looked they were rather proud of the price tag. Then again, there was a can and header on eBay not long ago for $1000

I have a Race header and muffler for a Late M2 - it’s not perfect but functional. Send a PM if you’re interested. Thanks
