How about a way to mount any other brand end caps including turn downs or fishtails??
I have turn downs on my Rineharts. Look great and tone down the sound somewhat.

End cap replacement completed in 45 minutes. Had to drill out two screw on the right side exhaust. Rubber mallet was the trick to remove the end caps. Thanks for the tips wrenchheads.

Drill the stripped screws out. Worked for me. Caution: don't drill past the crew lenght.

Well if you are luckier than the rest of the yahoo's who stripped the screws out," I know a 1/4x20 buttonhead allen can be a challenge for some". once you get the screws out, fire the bike up and they should vibrate out. That's what worked for me...

ebay for about $100 for the chrome. They will replace the faded ones if you send them back.
