For those about to CAN I inform you

[ghostrider_23]

OK I was listening to AC/DC

Anyway I just installed my Scorpion slip and FREAKING WOW OMG WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!

As you most likly know I hated the way the GS sounds so I bought a can off Buddha (Thank you Buddha) Things I discovered and wanted to pass along.

1. Cut the old muffler right at the weld.
2. Cut six to eight small slots into the original exhaust pipe.
3. Go to your LPS and purchase a 1 7/8 exhaust coupler & clamp.
4. Slide 1 7/8 pipe into the original exhaust pipe to angle cut a half moon or circle. (this will allow no restriction where the original pipe curves allowing for a tight fit)
5. Clamp done on the original pipe while the 1 7/8 pipe is inside.
6. Clamp the Slip-on CAN down onto the 1 7/8 pipe.
7. Install and clamp the strap that holds the CAN to the frame of the bike.
8. Get some header wrap tape and wrap your pipe.

Man it sounds good. You-tube does not do these slip-ons justice. It's like a new bike

Down falls:
1. The strap that comes with the new can does not fit tightly and I am going to have to replace it or drill a hole to modify it.
2. Rejetting is a must. I can feel the difference and think it had better performance with the old muffler so this Friday I will be rejetting.

If you are thinking of buying a slip-on  and haven't done it....do it. Give the Buddha a call as he may have some cans for you.

As a note, Yoshi requires you to cut 70mm after the weld. There's a reason. It gives ALOT more error room and makes clamping easier.

Ghostie - I am having trouble why you needed that slipper pipe - I thought that can and an 09 is straight on fit ... If I thought you need 1 7/8 I'd have send it up. I used to do that on the 89-00.

And hat strap - with the rubber it didn't fit ... if so add more rubber, I thought that too should fit as it was ... grrrrr.
Cool.

[The Buddha]

Oh that strap isn't supposed to go infront of and behind the footbeg carrier. Its supposed to clamp literally bolt ear to bolt ear and you put the bolt etc through that.
Cool.

Nope not on mine. The pipe you sent had a 2" inlet and the original pipe after the cut had a 2" outlet.
1. First I try to bend the tabs outward on the muffler and slid it on. (no good)
2. Cut 4 slots into the original pipe and bend in. (no good)
3. Bend tabs out. (no good)
4. Cut more slots into original pipe to bend in. (no good)
5. Use foul language. (Works)
6. Get 1 7/8 slip pipe & clamp. (works)
7. Adjust pipes angle to look cool. (works)
8. Paint clamp. (looks good)
9. Slots that were cut look like crap. (not good)
10. Go buy some black header pipe wrap and install. (looks very nice)
11. Go for a ride. (really sweet) 

[The Buddha]

Oooo OK The old one 89-00 has 1 7/8 ID never mind. I will include the slipper for 04+ And you should weld up - OK you slotted and clamped etc, should work. Put up a pic, and the clamp too. That I cant believe didn't fit ... scorpion clamp and scorpion can  ...
Cool.
Buddha.

OK That right there is how they are fitted. They aren't loose by any means ... you have to clean off the header where you need the slip fit ... and in case of steel, cleaning is using a power tool ... a grinder or atleast a buffing flap wheel on a drill.
Also you can inlet could have had the clamp been tightened etc etc so it can tighten up. I'll check these pics after work.
Cool.
