Default thunderheader mounting instructions

I picked up a t-header on craigslist part# 1027, for a 2006 night train, and was wondering if anyone has the mounting instructions or any pics. Im going to mount them this weekend.Im sure I can figure it out but just wanted to take the guessing game out of it. Any help would be appreciated..

I also have a 06 train I had a thunderheader on it, I took it off and replaced it with Martin Brothers. Its very straight forward to put the pipe on though, two bolt located just in front of the rear wheel and attach the pipes at the heads. If the thunder header did not come with the exhaust flange and rings just remove them from your existing pipe and put them on the thunder header.The whole job should not take more than 45 minutes or so. Hope everything works out for you.
Cheers

Get new S/E exhaust gaskets. Start at the back of the bike and work forward.

You might try their web site? I have been scouting exhaust sites lately and noted several that had pdf files of their installation instructions.
