FWIW, my FMF TC2 is a bitch of a tight fit on both of my OEM GG pipes, so perhaps its not just a Stealth thing. I agree with Girard as it seems like a plating issue.
FMF is not the gold standard in fit and finnish, or customer service for that matter. I was never able to talk to anyone there that didn't sound like a high school kid.
I talked to Kevin Hines once about FMF pipes and pipe guards. He told me that FMF has a set of stamped cone sections that they configure to make pipes for the various bikes. The angles may be different but the cones are the same in many cases. Thats why some of the eline guards fit more than one bike.
When the '07s first came out, the guys at T&C just heated and slightly bent the pre '07 silencer/SAs to fit. Looked and worked fine. I would think it would work fitting an '07+ Stealth on an '05 as well, for the guy without a TIG welder.
