I believe it's recommended by H-D as well - one use only.
Like replacing gaskets or sprocket bolts any time they've been disturbed.
Cheap insurance either way.

- unplug o2 sensors from the connectors remember the cable routing (NEVER UNBOLT THEM PLUGGED IN). front O2 sensor under the front of the bike (easy to get to). Rear O2 sensor is a little harder, take off the seat mine was there behind the battery, but I also have an smaller battery (you may need to remove your stock battery to access this connector on a stock bike. It goes through a hole in the bottom of the battery pan.
- remove old exhaust
- install sensors on new exhaust (DONT FORGET ANTI-SIEZE for the O2 Sensor threads) &
- install exhaust
- re-run wire for connect o2 sensors plugs and reconnect

got a chance to get the bike out for the first time with this new exhaust today. so far no leaks or any problems using the screaming eagle gaskets. the exhaust has a really nice idle and really has a deep growl/scream when on the throttle, but once you get to speed and are light on the inputs the sound calms down quite a bit and is very comfy and tolerable!
