Thunderheader Installation Instructions
Anybody have them for an '09 Lowrider - bought a set of thunderheaders but I can't find the installation instructions in the box. Couldn't find any on the t-header site either.
I'd prefer them in .pdf format if possible - but would be happy with anything at this point.
Thanks,
Mat.

Check out pg 2 post 11 in this thread in the link. Vic (SC Longhair) posted them up a while back. Also take a Zanax if you can before starting becase it can be FRUSTRATING as hell.

It is a very annoying, difficult install. Just remember..... THEY DO FIT. Just takes some persuasion and muscle. Its seriously a pain in the *** to get this pipe on. Its a very snug fit, so just take your time and an extra set of hands is definitely a good idea. Don't forget to buy some new gaskets. Don't use the SE gaskets.. just use the stock ones. GOOD LUCK!

Oh come on. It aint that difficult
Do the rear first and run the flange nuts up 2 threads. Chain the bike to the floor, put your left foot on the rear pipe, pull the front with all your strength and spring it on. Just before you get your fingers pinched between the head pipe and the head, make sure the flange is in place. Then let loose of the head pipe and get your fingers out of there before it slams home. Stick a couple of nuts on the front pipe.
Then you can run for the box of bandaids you forgot to bring with you, and while you're in the medicine cabinet, grab the bottle of pain killers and down em. You can finish tightening everything up tomorrow when you come down of the pills
