Pro Pipe Install

So I received and put a V&H Pro Pipe on my 11’ FLHTC. Love the look (replacing stock head pipe and V&H oversized slip on). Only question is the new Pro Pipe muffler seems to move a little. I could not get the torca fitting all the way under the y shaped heat shield. Is there a trick to it.

TIA,
Rogue

Try loosening the heat shield.
Is the muffler installed all the way onto the header?

The muffler is installed all the way to the head pipe but I’m having trouble getting the torca under the heat shield like the diagram. I’m going to pull the muffler and collector heat shield tomorrow and start the process again to get it under the collector heat shield. Hopefully that will sure the muffler up.

thanks

I just looked at the instructions and it looks kinda fiddly in there with a bunch of pieces all having to be in the right place at the right time.
Gonna take some patience to figure it out and get everything to fall together.

I'll admit , it's not an easy install , I had the same issue when installing mine . I left the heat shield off until I got the clamp and exhaust lined up , then put the heat shield over it and tightened everything up .

You could wipe thin coat of anti seize on the end of the " Y " pipe , so the exhaust can slip over the pipe , making it easier to adjust before putting the heat shields on . Everything has to be lined up just right before tightening .

I can post some pics for you if that would help .

It's definitely a really tight fit , just patience is needed , you'll get it . Keep us posted .

Thanks MyFavRk. I’ll keep it updated. So far I found it easier to take a break and big breath and come back to it.

Lol , Yah , sounds exactly like me . When my wife is around , she's always telling me to take a break , breath deep , oh , and have a glass of water . She's a yoga instructor , all about finding the peace within yourself .
