I got caught in a shower for literally 5 minutes, and now the badge rivets and bolts are rusted... not a huge issue but pretty ugly. Its bubbled the finish on the upper pipe bracket. Going to contact V&H again.

I'll soon find out if they are difficult to install. Ordered a set of Eliminator 300s for my 2018 Heritage on Saturday. Should be in this week. Will give you an update after I get them installed.

Got a call today from the dealer. They came in and I just finished installing them about 2-1/2 hours ago. Getting the OEM mufflers off was a bit of a pain (2 years old). Removed the bracket bolts and loosened the clamps. Used a piece of wood on the brackets and wacked the wood to loosen the OEMs. New ones went on super easy. Sound nice, but getting some decel BRRAAT noise when decelerating for upshifts. May need a re-tune. I was surprised at how loud they were compared to the OEMs.

Thanks for the update, glad the new ones went on pretty easily. Hopefully my replacements will fit a little better.
Regarding the decel popping and what Ive heard called the dragon fart on throttle overrun, Ive heard almost everyone with Eliminators say theyve had it and heard it on YouTube but I didnt get that at all on mine. I can only assume its down to the FuelPak tune.
