I didn't know how bad mine was until I got a new one and saw what it should look like.

According to their parts manual there is only one gasket and it is the one at the head. I'm going to take the pipe off tomorrow (as WD suggested) and make sure there is a gasket, which I will replace with the new one. Ike

Ok, backfiring solved!!
I replaced the exhaust gasket at the head, cleaned the inside of the pipe opening and exhaust port, replaced the Supertrapp with a HD Dyna muffler and made sure there are no leaks. Yeah!!!
It sounds much quieter until you open it up, then it sounds deeper and really nice. It also looks pretyy nice, especially with the 7" J C Whitney heatshield and I am happy with it.
Thanks again for all the great advice.

Read your spark plug and adjust the carb as necessary to get the correct air/fuel mixture. RIDE WELL
