Jimmy...i can tell you this...Use the screamin eagle exhaust gaskets. On the softail there is only one mounting bracket. I just installed one and was a PITA..I could not get a socket on the rear cylinder top stud. I had to remove the heat shield. What a Mfer to get back on. I bought a 40 dollar SNAP ON swivel 1/4 drive half inch, it didn't work. Its on with no leaks, but it was a fight. They will hook ya up with the brackets. If ya need pics let me know.

As I recall...the directions basically say remove old exhaust, install new one.
You may need to contact D&D for the bracket part numbers. But there is only 1 bracket. And it only fits one way.
Like said earlier, get the SE gaskets for the heads. And take the heat shield off. No matter how hard you try, you will not be able to get the rear cylinder nuts on with the heat shield in place. Torque em down and fire it up.
Couple hours, a six pack, and your all set. Enjoy your new pipes.

I bought a used set too and Jennifer at D&D hooked me right up. PM me and I'll forward you the instructions but bascially it's remove old, install new. But the most important point is you start tightening the system from the rear and work your way towards the front, i.e., tightent the muffler bracket first and then the head pipes, rear first and then front.
Oh, and +1 on removing the heat shields. You can't get at the head bolts with the shields on. And as I recall, the shields are a PITA to get back on.
Good luck.
