Need new exhaust, 92 fit an 86?

Hi,
    I need to order a new exhaust system for my '86 FJ.  It looks like the Vance and Hines system is the only one listed to fit it (except the Remus).  I have searched the forums here and think that I read that all years will fit, only the muffler mount may be a problem.  After reading here all the great reviews on the V&H systems, I don't want one.  My question is, will a D&D for a '92-93 fit my '86?  I can fab a muffler mount if I need to. 
     If it will fit, what are your recommendations on which can; loud or quiet?  I like loud pipes, I like to annoy the Harley guys  .  Thank you in advance.

Yes, it will fit.  You may have to "fab a mount" which means that if the muffler strap isn't in the right place for your '86, then you'll have to find a piece of flat metal approx 1" wide and drill 2 holes in it the right length apart as your hanger.
I would choose the "Quiet" muffler, both because D&D are usually on the VERY loud side, and because on rides of over an hour a loud pipe will tire YOU out.  You can annoy the Hardly guys by disappearing into the distance. :-)

Cheers,

Thanks Arnie!
     Now I have to decide which muffler to get, black or aluminum.  Any thoughts anyone?

I doubt any fab work is needed... You can loosen the mount/clamp on the muffler, it'll probably line up just fine if you slide it forward on the muffler a bit.... I have a D&D on my '90 and I love it.
