Default bub7 quiet install question

just got the quiet baffle for the bub 7 tru duels. No instructions in the box. Wait 6+ months on back order then no instructions. I did find the answers to some questions on the search function. But as silly as it sounds which way do they go in will it only fit one way? Should I replace the masking tape holding the packing around the baffle with wire?

You will see a hole on one end that is the rear and you need to line it up with the hole on your bubs once you get your old ones out you will see
Don't forget to put never seize on the baffels it makes much nicer next time you want to change them
As for the masking tape goes it is just to hold the packing around the baffels as you install them
I hope this helps

You will probably need to take the mufflers off and use a piece of wood or steel just a little larger than the baffel but small enough to slide into the inlet and drive the old baffel out
This way worked for me
