Default 08 FXD 2 into 1 Fitment

Really don't know where to start but her goes. Ordered pipes from vender of Rush pipes . took 2 weeks. Box was open on end when received. Packing list was incomplete. "Missing" Zip Stripe and Loctite from package. Installation instructions were not clear as to which spacer to use on mounting bracket. Had about 5 so which one do I use. Called it washer #8 in packing list when it was a spacer but wasn't marked in ANY way. Called all bolts Hex Head Bolts when there were only 2 (the ones that hold the muffler on) and the others were Socket Head Cap Screws is the proper name. You know....the ones you use a Hex wrench on ( Allen wrench to some of us). Had to modify all of the bolt holes to get things to line up and be straight. Claw heat shield did not fit right to give that "Seamless Look" .....Was not any easy job and I am not mechanically challenged since I have been a Precision Machinist for 45yrs . Since working in a Machine Shop, I had access to equipment needed to fix all the areas. Got it done and it sounds good. Have to get "TUNE" done before I can say how well they perform. In conclusion I think the installation instructions could use some fine tuning.

Default Installation Instructions

"Yes" those are the ones. Would be glad to help in any way to make them clearer to others.
