In fact, I really don't know if another pipe would fit that fine because it was really custom made.
If you look at an FMF Fatty shape compared to an OEM, it's quite different on the expansion chamber. Only the fixing mounts are the same.
And I don't know if another aftermarket pipe have enough clearance around the water pipe or below the right side radiator. I can't say about that.
An OEM will surely fit and could be bolted up but I would certainly struggle with some clearance here and there and could face issues because the pipe touches the cradle or the water pump.
What is sure is that the silencer is a unique piece especially made to fit the subframe, so about it we all can say that no aftermaket or even OEM silencer will fit an AF subframe because they are made to fit steelies. For the silencer, you do need to make brackets... or make a custom silencer.
