    which muffler.. i would hope you would offer the guuy 150 for the sidewinder exhaust.. pry sounds better than the vance and hines and i think the header uses a little larger diameter tubing as well.. looks ceramic coated as well

    i think that the Vance and Hines Muffler may fit but the header on the sidewinder exhaust looks to be different from other pictures i have seen on the internet since i dont have my bike to look at right now its kinda hard for me to tell

    The 98 would be for a S1.... the header pipe will not fit your 01. The 98 header goes over the frame, the 01 goes under/behind the frame.

    I am not sure if the muffler will fit either... not sure if the collector on a 98 and 01 are in the same location.... also, since i have never owned a 98... the pipe diameter may be smaller.. I have read some pre 99 bikes did have i think a 2" exhaust instead of a 2.5"... but im not sure how old those bikes were.

    Nope, wont fit. The '98 and older bikes the collector points to the left and the '99-'02 bikes curve around and point to the rear. The muffler bodies are the same, where they connect to the header is different.
