3. Remove pipe cover to expose O2 sensor and remove
sensor from OEM header.
4. Remove muffler mounting bolts to remove exhaust
assembly.
5. Loosely install TBR header pipes, longer header installs
on the left side (inside).
6. Instal TBR merge collector using a small amount of
high-temp silicone on both slip fit joints.
7. Loosely install slip-tube to muffler assembly by
attaching the X-ring to muffler with the supplied
6x14mm socket head cap screw and provided lock
washers.
9. Slide rubber-lined muffler clamp over muffler assembly
and attach to OEM mounting position using the
supplied spacer, bolt and nut.
10. Install springs.
11. Check alignment and tighten muffler mount, X-ring
bolts and flange nuts.
12. Before you run the bike, clean off all fingerprints and
dirt, as any oily residue will etch the metal and become
somewhat permanent when the system gets hot. Run
the bike and enjoy. It is normal for some white smoke
to appear the first time you start the bike. This is
packing/manufacturing oil from inside the pipe burning
off. Check for gaps or leaks. If you find a leak, a little
high temperature silicon sealant should fix it. After 50
to 100 miles, recheck all fasteners for tightness.
