I just got my bassani road rage 2-1 for my 2012 Fatboy lo and im having issues installing it. After i removed the old exhaust i transferred the flanges and snap rings. Went to put the front head pipe on and it wont slide all the way in. I noticed the stock head pipes were made to slip into the exhaust port. The new headpipes arent made to slip in they just sit flat on the port. Since the pipe wont slide in i cant the nuts in the bolts to tighten it up. Anyone have any ideas? Any insight is much appreciated!

 

Read manufactures directions and follow them. Pipes can be tricky. When they say don't tighten this or that before this n that it's for a reason.

 

I read them over and over to make sure i didnt miss anything. Its a strait forward install and not hard at all, just something isnt right. I tried calling there tech line but they werent open.

 

Im being told to try the screaming eagle gaskets as they are not tapered

 

Try the screamig eagle gasket deffinitly,make sure to get old gasket out first, fit up all bolts and brackets loosely then tighten evenly.
