Wileyco cans are top notch. High quality construction and I assume that they would sound awsome on a Super Hawk. They sound great on other bikes. For sure. They may be a bit on the heavy side, however, if they are stainless.
I'd go with the '02 for sure. That is low miles. Even though the blue Super Hawk is much faster.

I just don't want to deal with this. Sorry.

If you have a metric socket set it will take you about 15 minutes to change them out. And that includes drinking a beer while you admire your shiny stock cans.

If they're any where close to the same price I'd say it's a no brainer, go with the '02. If you're really willing to trade it's a simple transaction like penst8 said. You just take them off with the mid pipes and the stock ones will have the mid pipes as well. Or you sell them and get stockers.

The Wileyco cans are loud...in a heart pounding adreanalin rush sort of way.
You might want to keep them for a little while in case you change your mind.
The cans should have come with their own mid pipes that clamped on to the stock head pipes making removal a simple affair. With a set of good earpugs you can even retain your hearing (mostly).
The '02 sounds like a good deal since the bikes are pretty much the same thought out the years. You will be getting a lower mileage mount for less money.
Just a note...if you do ride with the Wileys be nice and don't scare the Harley riders when you go past them.
