Hi guys,
Small tip that you might want to consider when putting on a dyna exhaust. When attaching it to the bracket, use a small hose clamp to tighten it down, instead of bolts and washers and nuts that can vibrate off and end poorly for you, or the muffler. I've been driving like this for the last 2 days, and it seems to be working well.
Cheers,
Roger

Might be good for an emergency failure gas station repair good enough to get you home, but the same locations that can sell you a hose clamp can generally also be able to sell you a some flat washers, a bolt, a lockwasher and a nut.
Hose clamp set up would allow some muffler movement when going over bumps that would break your clamp seal at the muffler and eventually loosen you up at the head as well.

That clamp isn't strong enough for long term riding. It can give way under pressure at any time.
I used a bolt, washers, lock washer, nut and then I put a locknut(aircraft locknut, the nut with the plastic inner core) just for good measure. It isn't going anywhere anytime soon...

Get stainless steel hardware if at all possible and avoid the rust down the road.

Alot of ideas sounded good when my head as 19 years old.
At least i think so, that was a long time ago.

I drilled a hole in between the two existing ones so i could use two bolts, and used washers and nylock nuts. This way I slid the muffler way up onto the head pipe to minimize any possibility of leakage. I didn't notice any after I did that. Prior to sliding the muffler on as far as I could get it I had a slight leak in that joint. I don't think it's going anywhere.

I am new here and haven't quite made the 10 posts required to PM anyone. I really would like to talk to Lancer about his jets. Lancer if you see this please respond and I would appreciate anyone who knows him to please pass this on. I have a Dynojet kit sitting here in front of me and I need to make the decision whether or not to keep it or send it back. Thank you and Ride Safe!!!

Young is good.
Naive, not so much.
