New bike is a 2011 FLHTK ( 5K). Been having issues with my dealer installed Rinehart 2 into 1 exhaust. Exhaust leaks primarily, so I took matters into my own hands. Got the instructions from Rinehart and figured I'd begin from scratch. Once the exhaust was removed found that the dealer never replaced the OEM gaskets with James style as called for, so the alignment was off (i.e. leaks). When I changed to the correct gaskets and reinstalled the header, the trans support bracket appeared to pull the header too close to the rear brake arm (touching) not good..I am assuming that the Rinehart trans bracket is different (for clearance) than OEM bracket. Has anyone installed a 2-1 on a 2011, if so is there a major difference in the trans brackets? Waiting on Rinehart for an answer and potentially a new bracket. Always had good luck with Rinehart in the past, HD dealers/mechanics not so much....... Sorry for the windy post. Thanks

 

Can you please take a picture of the area of both O2 sensors bungs. I have seen a Rinehart on clearance at $400 and was debating on replacing my exhaust. Is the pipe stepped or 1 7/8 entire length?
