Depending what do You want. I Did 2 Savages with direct slip-on Sportster muffler. The only thing in case like this is the muffler smokes the rear brake adjuster. If You can live with this- it is a simple slide-on. I did a L-shaped bracket with couple of holes between the Savage exhaust holding bracket and the new exhaust. It took me about 20 min.

Get a purpose made muffler for now. They are considerably more expensive than a dealer take-off Sportster muffler, but, all of the engineering is already done. If you like shiny chrome, don't buy a Jardine. they work fine, but the chrome discolors pretty quickly. If I had the cash to redo my exhaust, I'd go Raask or Mac. I did the "cheap and cheezy" JC Whitney universal route...big waste of time, money, and welding wire.

I have blueing on mine from skin oils where I did not wipe it down well enough.

It's very easy to put on. Just remove the heat shields, loosen the header bolts at the manifold (to allow a slight amount of wiggle), remove the original muffler, install new muffler, tighten/torque manifold bolts, replace heat shields. You'll probably want to do away with the aft heat shield (the bell-shaped one) because it'll look kinda stupid. There's a smaller one available at JC Whitney that works perfectly as a replacement.
