Converting to High mount system

I was wondering if someone could help me out. I currently have the 2 Brother's Complete system on my 98 SH. Want to switch to a high mount system. Does anyone know if I have to go with the complete lower pipes for that or is there an adaptor that I can us?

You need high mount midpipes and hangers. You can keep your header (stock or 2bros, doesn't matter) and your cans.

Don't know if they're still available from tbr, you have to ask them. They show up once in awhile on ebay. Throw up a post on here someone may have a pair. I once traded straight up a pair of low mount midpipes for high ones-a guy wanted them so he could use bags. But I sold them as part of a complete system some time ago.

If you can't get them I'm sure other midpipes and hangers would work though, as long as they fit the cans. If not I'm sure they could be easily made to fit them.

Thanks, probably going to throw up a post for the midpipes and hangers and see if anyone on the forum has any for sale.
Thanks

Jardine quoted me $90 per side for mids.

The jardine hangers would work fine. The midpipes, or at least the chrome ones, don't allow you to use the springs. Don't the jardine stainless midpipes use springs though? I ordered a replacement chrome midpipe a few years back when I had jardines and the service were real good. Probably can still get them since they still make the pipes. Leovince has a new importer and unless I'm mistaken someone on here said they could order replacement parts from them too, which you never used to be able to do. Those are a little bigger, higher, and longer than jardines or two bros, and they only have a spring hook on the bottom.

Another option would be to take your bike to the local competent muffler shop and have them bend some mids for you. Shouldn't be that difficult for a good shop.
