The biggest problem installing my samson fishtails was tightening the header nut behind the u-pipe on the 2nd jug. Did anyone have complications with this?

I had to get a set of crows feet wrenches and shave it down. I hope I never have to take it apart.

 

Yes, that was the real painful part. I had a swivel sockect and an extenstion but I still had to move the oil return hoses out of the way. Unfortunately I have to take it apart again to replace the flanges.

 

Oh HELL YES.I got a cheap open end wrench and bent the head like 90* in my vice.It was the only thing that seemed to work for me.Even the crows feet ends were too big to fit in that tight spot.Even with that set up I could only get like an 1/8 th of a turn before I had to re position the wrench on the nut.What a PITA.

 

I can confirm a swivel socket with an extension are the best tools to use on the rear crossover head pipe. the pipe is tucked in as close as possible to prevent anyone from being subjected to heat from the pipe and for the best looks. make sure you install the u-pipe heat shield after the head pipe is secured. if anyone has any other issues with installation please let us know. we would be glad to help walk you through any situation no matter what it may be. we are here to help.
thank you,

Its nice to see Samson helping out and standing behind their products!

 

Mcrider How long are those pipes?

 

McRider hasn't been active since 7/21/2011 so I don't think your going to get an answer from him. They look pretty short, maybe 28"?

 

Thanks you Im just about to order them through dr.vtwin, and wanted to make sure
