Title: slip on 65842-07
Post by winterwolf2000 on 11/28/23 at 07:19:01

ok fighting with this
i put on the slip-on 65842-07 same as the one BH & Boofer
now it says it fits a 1.75 header pipe from the research i did but it seems like i need to go smaller? as i have gap and and its does not to me look like its reduced enough
i did not cut it because it suppose to fit it. am i wrong do i need to pick up a Sleeve Insert Shim Reducer Adapter or cut it and add the green bean can trick? am i just looking at this all wrong

You can cut a shim from soda cans, soup cans, etc.

Cut a strip that 1.5"-2" wide, and wrap it around until you have enough thickness to fill up the gap.

Works for me:
Extra heavy alum foil, muffler cement,
cut a 2" wide long strip, fold in half lengthwise, smear one half in muffler cement, fold back, wrap tightly around exhaust 2to3 times, slip on muffler and tighten clamp. Still tight, leak free, after 3 years!
Cheers! 8-)
ps: wear gloves !

If you use any muffler sealer or something like Permatex Ultra Copper (high temp), let it fully cure for at least 24 hours depending on heat and humidity. If you don't, it will fail. I made that mistake and it wasn't fun cleaning it up and re-doing it.
