Thunder torque inserts
Well got the inserts, going to do the install tomorrow. I am far from decent wrench but I think I can handle this. Was confused about the nuts one looks like a regular nut and the other only goes on about 7 turns then stops.
Also not sure which was I should turn it to put it on the curve facing in or out..
Ill know more tomorrow we will see how this works out..

Take the "easy" nut and put it on first as far it will go before you insert the torque cone. Then insert the cone and after the cone is placed in the exhaust use the locking nut to screw it down.

the locking nut doesnt go on far enough to screw it down. I am afraid to put too much pressure on it..

If you hold the cone in on the inside and use the proper closed end wrench or socket it'll torque down. You may have to stick something like the end of a broomstick or small piece of wood to hold the cone in place while you tighten it up.

Got them on, thanks for the help. I will say anyone who wants to go without baffles get these! Much deeper sound, great rumble.. Gas mileage dropped a bit but I am very happy.
You do lose a bit of top end torque, it is noticeable to hard riders but most wont even feel it.
Havent dynoed yet so we will see..
