Good luck getting the rear lower exhaust flange bolt done up with a torque wrench. I found best way was with a crows foot adapter and lots of long extensions and tighten the **** out of it and hope for the best. So far so good.

Snug up the left one and lock it down then adjust the right one to match, I did the right first and locked it down and when I adjusted the left it kept falling out of the head pipe. Finally said f it set the left where I wanted it then adjusted the right to match. Big pain in the *** but well worth it once it's done. Definitely something you can handle on a late friday night with basic hand tools.

Im going to use the SE exhaust gaskets this time. I had a hard time getting the exhaust flange nuts started last time. The SE are thinner so that should make it a little easier. Kit comes in next Tue, I got the new style with the removable baffles for 675.00 shipped to my door.

I thought that was a pretty good deal.

You done good! SE gaskets are a good idea. Do it once. Do it right.

The only thing about the S/E gaskets that they do not seal as well as the stock gaskets. Put a little muscle into the stock style gaskets is my opinion.
