Honestly,... I installed my muffler before I discovered the rail mount shorty's... So mine is the tab mount, and although I made it work just fine with the stock mount, I eventually cut the entire rail section of the bracket off and drilled a bolt hole in the round tubing part of the bracket to secure the muff.
I have noticed that the flat, rail bar of the mount has lip along the top and bottom. Just grinding that lip off would allow a rail type muffler to angle in a bit.
It took me a while to get comfortable with hacking off the portion of the bracket to make my shorty run straight. I first had to make sure I was never going back to stock,... and secondly I had to install the Intruder shocks for vertical clearance.
Hope that's understandable and helpful to you.
So many mods can make a subtle difference in how other mods can or need to be done.
