Default Samson True Dual Install

I am purchasing the Samson S430 true dual fishtail set for my 05 Heritage and wonder if there is anything I need to be aware of on the install? It comes with everything but I heard that the shifter linkage didn't fit right or needed some tweaking. Can anyone give me some tips that will make the install go smooth? Thanks.

As far as exhaust installs go, this is about as involved as they get. I installed a set without instructions and it too a few hours as there are so many pieces. The hardest part is getting the rear pipe bolted together behind the rear cylinder. I had no issues with the new shift linage that comes with the exhaust. Take you time and use ultra copper on all the connections.

Thanks for the heads up on the ultra copper. When you say connections what do you mean? The harley dealer told me to use blue locktite on the bolts. What about the doughnut that goes between the exhaust and the head to seal it, should I use the one that comes with them or is there an upgrade?
