I have a 89 flhs with the flange type were the slip on meats the head pipe, can I cut the flange off so I can use a 95 and up slip on, seems like the cfr are nice for the price , but because that (EDIT) flange they want me to pay $400 and up for slip on's, I heard of guy's that cut the flange and slip the new pipe right over the head pipe and clamp it down, is this so. thank you much.

If your header pipe O.D. is correct and your slipon is long enough to reach and can be correctly mounted to your bike then sure I don't see we you can't.
