the intake end that you clamp to the header are all the same size, 1 3/4" ID, which is slightly larger than the Savage header; cut the middle out of a soda can and wrap it around the header twice to take up the space and when you clamp it it will seal quite well.
you can also buy exhaust gasket material and do the same thing.
the mounting tabs on the sides of the mufflers are usually spaced differently; one forward a bit and back a bit so when you get the pair home check which one is closest to the bikes muffler mounting bar; if the muffler tab does not match up exactly with the mount bar then
you may need to get a short piece of metal to bolt to the bar and then to the muffler
if you don't have one on hand most hardware stores have metal bars with holes already punched so you just need to get a short one or cut a longer one down to fit.
the whole thing is really easy to do
these mufflers sound great on a Savage
you will need to adjust the carb a bit for optimum efficiency & performance...let me know if you need help with that
