Installation

Note: It may be necessary to loosen the original Head Pipe-to-Cylinder Head Nuts to allow for some movement of the head pipe.  This movement can be beneficial when ensuring proper exhaust system installation and alignment.

1. Install the supplied Clamp to the slotted end of the Mid Pipe.  Then, slide the Mid Pipe onto the end of the Head Pipe, leave the Clamp loose.

2. Using the supplied hardware, install the Mounting Bracket onto the Silencer.  (Bracket may be pre-installed from HMF)  

Please note that you need to adjust and align the position of the bracket bolts and the bracket itself before tightening.  We send this loose to make the installation easier on you.  Ensure everything is aligned and positioned and make sure to tighten all of the bolts securely.

3. Refer to the image to ensure proper bracket installation.(See Figure #2)
