yep, those rinehart mufflers you have were part of a complete rinehart exhaust system. they aren't really 'slip ons'.

The Screamin Eagle High Flow exhaust system and the Rhinehart "race" system are the only 2" systems out there, and I don't think they do that for the M8's.

Take your head pipes to any car muffler shop and have them expand your 1-7/8” pipe.

Be careful ... they can split when expanding especially after having gone through heat cycles ... seen it happen many times ... I owned a Huth pipe bending g machine for many years

I got ya Larry, I forgot to add one that knows what they're doing. I got a guy older than me that's been doing my exhaust work for the last 30 year's.I keep forgetting there are very few real craftsmen left.
