Installing Rush slip ons
Is there any trick to removing the stock mufflers and replacing them with Rush slip ons or is it as simple as removing the exhaust clamp and replacing the pipes? Is there any sealantor will the pipes just slide off after i remove the clamp on each one (should any sealant be applied to the Rush pipes prior to installation)? Any special tools involved? Anything else I need to know? How long do you think this will take me?
This is my first project on my new Softail Custom and since I am not very mechanically inclined, this seemed like a goodfirst alteration...
thx.

Just put them on my Heritage, pretty simple...muffler clamp and two chassis bolts, took some pulling to get old pipes off..initially did 1.75 baffles changed to 2.00 baffles last night, had a heck of a time getting oneof the old baffles out of the pipes... wax em' and enjoy your RUSH!

Can you change the pipes without changing the fuel&air mix?

Yeah, they're easy. Got the 2's and didn'tchange anythingelse. I did mine in about an hour and my husband put them on his Road King last night, no problem. You'll love them.

Great product, well made, that looks and sounds great. Cheaper than replacing whole exhaust and making alot of changes to fuel injection and air cleaner. Have heard the same thing, that as long as you don't go any bigger than 2" baffles, you don't have to change anything. Got mine from Cycle Spot. Hubby got his through J&P.
