Installation of my "new-to-me" muffler

[Grumpy Goat]

That's a bummer and only adds to the frustration during the install. I agree that the instructions were not as clear as they could have been --- it took me a couple of attempts to get everything on correctly.

All that said, I'm sure you are pleased with the sound and some weight/chrome reduction.

I had watched the Hornig video before installing so I knew beforehand what installation entailed, not to mention that I had my stock exhaust off many times before. But when I did not find the nut on the clamp I looked to the instructions to see if I missed anything and there was no help there.

I am still getting used to the sound and I do like it. More crackling and popping too, it seems.

As for the weight savings, I forgot to mention these in the video, but including the pipe spool pieces, the weights are - Stock 9.4# vs Remus 6# for a savings of 3.4# of 36%. I weigh 209# when I, at 5'-8", am supposed to weight between 125# - 163# by one reference (Livestrong). So you can see where the performance gains lie.

As for looks - I had no real issue with the stock, but when you put them side to side, the stock can looks so "fat" even if much lighter than its size might suggest.
