Default Exhaust

So I'm putting on my V&H big Radius 2-into-2 pipes and I seem to have ran into a road block. The front header fits great but the rear header is about 1/4 away from the bracket holes that came in the kit? I'm using my stock exhaust gaskets since the bike only has 200miles on them. Should I pull my stock gaskets out and use the ones they gave me? Its hard to explain but the rear header need to be moved ahead about 1/4 Im not sure how to do this. Any ideas?

Thanks
Rodney

It took a little bit of patience to get both of mine to fit in right also. Assuming you got the right exhaust for your year/model, it will fit; best thing to do is have a buddy with you so you can each work on positioning the headers at the same time. Good luck.

I have reused the same gaskets before without any leaks but if you already have new set Id use them, less chance of leaks. 1/4" sounds a long way off. like mentioned above get a helper and try aligning both flanges at once
