No other mods needed just for slip on mufflers. I've done several of these installs. I usually find it easier to go ahead and take the entire exhaust off the bike. This allows for getting a better grip to get the mufflers to "slip off" I use plenty of WD-40, and application of a rubber mallet around the joint to help get the mufflers off.
Some are fairly easy, and some can be a real pain to get the muffler off. Mine was a ROYAL pain, but I've done others that weren't too difficult. Either way, it's a simple straight forward install. Just sometimes difficult to get the original mufflers to let go.

The first time I tried to get my stock mufflers off I used wd-40 it took me 3 hours wrenching and twisting and fighting with the pipes. The second time, I used Liquid wrench. I liberally used it at the joint where the two pipes connect waited 30 minutes and the exhaust slipped right off. . .

Ya ever watch an episode of Shark Tank? Some of their primary questions are, how much to make it, and what does it sell for. I have heard them over and over complain when an item costs, say $5 to make and sells for $20. They want $5 to make it and sells for $40-45. I know they need to make a profit, but it really lets me see why prices are as high as they are, especially when so many are sending their stuff overseas for production.
