Posts: 565 Kingston, Ontario, Canada Gender:	Trapp Gap 05/26/11 at 16:03:11 Has anyone who has installed a Trapp been able to get the muffler to butt right up against the collar on the header pipe. I have a 3/4" gap and can't seem to get it any further.

As long as the rear bolts will go in, youre okay,, IF you decide to shorten the header a bit, be aware that sparks from a grinder shooting near the battery vent tube can ( & if circumstances are just right), Will create a hydrogen explosion & youll be working for a few hours to clean the battery acid up so it doesnt rust. & Yes, I KNOW what Im talking about,,

Lined right up with the real bolt holes. took me all of 5 or 10 minutes to install.

Ive been doing things more complex than a ding dang muffler swap for decades & was shocked to encounter such an issue, but it simply would not go together, so, I grabbed a grinder,,, & Blooey,, I hadda buy a new battery..

I cut off and inch or two to the header, to get the supertrapp to fit.
I took the header off the bike first. I can't remember the details, but it wasn't sliding on all the way.

I just recently took it all apart and put it back together with some of
that exhaust sealer stuff, because I think the exhaust was leaking out
one of the slots under the band clamp.
(the one that connects the supertrapp to the header pipe.)
