Yea the stock one worked fine for me for the first year I had the short shots because I didn't know about them wanting us to use the SE gaskets. You just needed to check them more often. I haven't had a problem with the SE gaskets either and I've had the pipes on and off 3-4 times messing with the baffles and BCT's. Not sure how you can break the gaskets during install. They fit well and it seems like you would have mongo it to break it. It brings the head of the pipe more into the jug. If this still concerns you in a month when I finally get to move into the new house with the family and get my bike out of my trailer I check it out and take a pic unless someone else beats me to it.

After mounting my exhaust I lost an exhaust nut on the rear lower, after I installed a new one it back off once again. Re-tightened it and its been good for about 6k now. I now carry a short 1/2" offset wrench everywhere I go.

Looks like it's been holding ok for now but maybe if the bolts starts moving then maybe I'll consider changing but so far so good

JMC22, where did you get the bag on the side of your bike? I'm looking for something small like that for my fatbob.

I didn't have a torque wrench when I did my exhaust yesterday (wrong size), now you guys have me freaked out that I may have over done it. Any thought as to how tight they should be by feel (I think I put a lot of pressure on them).
Kreeess, did you use standard baffles? I have the Python Throwbacks which I think are off a similar line to the SS but maybe a bit longer. Can't believe how loud they are and was thinking of trying the quiet baffle at some point
