I have tried a slipon DG & FMF on my 1998 TW200 and they don't bolt up! Attach the rear bolt and the front does not line up on both. I am waiting on manufactures reply but thought maybe some one on here has had similar issues.

We recently found out that the 03 and up TW's have a slightly different exhaust mount than the 87-02 TW's. It's only off by about 3/4 inch. Your aftermarket mufflers might be made for the newer bikes. You can probably fabricate a flat bracket. If you need any advice, post some pics with the back part mounted, and somebody can probably help you.
Check out this post for more info:

Trying to upload pictures from photobucket but I keep getting an error message, "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board." I measured the distance from the front frame bracket to the midpipe bracket and it is 1". Thinking about using a couple of zip ties and runnin this sucker![]()

I have personally spoken with both FMF ans DG about their TW specific models prior to purchasing. They both claimed that the mufflers were bolt on for all model years. Apparently they were not aware of the 2002-2003 model year change. I will recontact them and see if they can update their info and perhaps design a simple spacer to include with the muffler. It was not an issue with my 2006.I have tried a slipon DG & FMF on my 1998 TW200 and they don't bolt up! Attach the rear bolt and the front does not line up on both.

Contacted both FMF and DG by phone today. Both are unaware of any 2002-2003 model year change and believe that thier products bolt for all years. e-mailed details with links to forum website.
Just spoke with FMF (Nick), said they are 3-4 weeks away from making a "sleeve" to fit the older TW. I am going to make my own and then switch it out when the FMF comes in. It's been a month without my bike! GEEZ
Did the sleeve every hit the market?
