Received my Rinehart slip-ons, PCV, and screeming eagle air cleaner on yesterday and installed them last night. Everything went together without any problems. Rineharts could be a little less loud, but I do like the deep tone to them. All I can say is hats off to the Fuel Moto crew because I couldn't be happier with the products and the service.
Did you guys use new muffler clamps when you installed the slip-ons? I asked a Parts guy at the local Harley shop what product i could buy as a sealant to keep the mufflers from leaking at the clamp he said that he knows of no product and there is no need for a sealant, and that I should never re-use a muffler clamp. I'm trying to get everything together because my PCV, SEAC, and Rush 2.0 was shipped Friday and Im like a kid waiting to open my christmas presents and want to be sure I have everything I need when they arrive.
Harley likes to sell muffler clamps. The first set of slip-ons I installed I used the same clamps with no issues. The second set of mufflers came with new clamps. I would not hesitate in using the original clamps before buying new ones.

My Bub 7 instructions called for using sealant. It's Permatex Ultra Copper High Temp RTV Silicone you can pick it up at any auto parts store. I used the stock clamps and no issues.
