Skidmark Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 Took muffler off during my inspection on the new to me bike and the o rings were hard broken junk. I’m trying to wrap my head around how the new ones will go on. Do they go on the Ti header first, then slide the muffler on, hoping they go into their prospective grooves? Seems optimistic at best…..

gazzaecowarrior Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) Yep. They go into the two grooves in the silencer then slide the header in. Don't tighten the bolts fully in header or silencer until it is all fully assembled. Edited March 28, 2023 by gazzaecowarrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmark Posted March 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 How do they not roll out of their groove when sliding assy together? Lube? Mahalo, Skiddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahalo, Skiddy The recess in the groove prevents that. They sit proud enough for the o-rings to act as seals yet sit deep enough to not be pushed into the silencer by the header pipe advancing inwards.

Skidmark Posted April 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 Mahalo….. O-rings ordered. Though I did fab a seal using a custom cut section of fiberglass header wrap….perfect thickness and pretty easy to install. Braaap.
