OK, I got my brand new HD Dyna slip on muffler yesterday. I looked this afternoon and as I suspected my clamps and such on my 87 are rusted probably to the point of breaking off (that is the way it usually works). I sprayed them with some wd40 kind of stuff and I am sure I can break them off.
If I break the clamp bolt, I guess I can take some kind of grinder and get down there and get the clamp off. Will the muffler then slip off as it is supposed to do, or will it be grown together as well. Then what about the surface of the header pipe, will I be able to get that to seal or will I need to smooth that as well? I would love to start on this in the morning, I might even work tonight so I can.
I am not too worried about the mounting bolts breaking, I am sure they will, but I think I can just slide the old muffler off.
So, am I on the right track? Any suggestions? I thought about taking the header off at the engine but that may create more issues with sealing that back on.
Thanks
