Help with slip on's
I know slip on's are stupid easy to put on... But I have an issue and need a little advice please!
I just put a set of Rush Baloney Cut slip on's on my 13 Street Bob... However the forward pipe is contacting the aft pipe... Is this a major issue, since they are secured together anyway with the bar below them?
If so... Any advice on how to get them separated? Can I slide the aft pipe back on the head pipe some?

Thanks!
Yeah I went back out there, rotated them a little... and slid the back one about a half inch aft and they have about 1/8" gap between them now!
Sorry for the stupid question!
Now if I could just get it a little throatier sounding... I got the 1 3/4" baffles... (They were $100 used, couldn't pass them up!) Thinking about going with the Big City Thuder QQ baffles and a set of XIED's

Might want to look around on the forum for the Ultimate Mod...it's a swap of the stock baffle for a Cycle Shack baffle...works for Street Bobs and Fat Bobs...I did it on my Fat Bob and am very pleased with the results...

I believe on all Vance and Hines mufflers you have to remove the heat shields to get to the screw that holds the baffles in the muffler. I have Vance and Hines Straight Shots and thats what I have to do to get to my baffles.

If you do that the front pipe won't line up with the exhaust bracket anymore.
