Default Replacing the Head Pipe

I just ordered some stock decatted head pipes for my 2011 FLHTK. Is there anything special I need to know to replace the head pipe on there now?

Thanks, CB

Make sure you get new exhaust port gaskets. Other than that, the decatted head pipe should go back on the same way the old one came off.

Get a small "dental" type hook to remove the old gaskets. Clean the ports up real good, and when you are installing new ones, make sure they go in straight and try not to mangle them.
