I got my CHM exhaust last night, wanted to put the can on to see how it fit. Could not install whole system engine is apart. Well I bolted it up and it fits very poorly will probably have to shim up and tweak the brackets. Has anyone else had this problem, i hope the head pipe fits better.

I think that is because it only fits the CHM header, just a guess...

I have the head pipe and will install that when the engine goes back together , just talking about muffler can. I like the looks I just hope the performance will be worth the fit up time.

I am just saying, I don't think it will hook up right until you get the header on there. If that is the case, I don't think you will have to adjust it at all...

I hope your right.

Does it not line up where it bolts onto the subframe or does it not line up with the header correctly?

yeah you probably need to get get the head pipe bolted on and it should be fine.

When it is on the two rear mounts it does not fit them flush and muffler is really close to subframe - I guess I really won't know how it fits until complete system goes on, then I will see.

I highly doubt you will have any problems. Dez has his on and says the fit and finish is perfect. Also, CHM seems to be a great company that will fix anything that is wrong...

Hello,

I installed mine with no problems at all. Yes it is a tight fit but all worked with out a hitch.

Desert, why did you use a dremal? All you needed to do is put a film of anti-seizing greese on the header part and all slides on perfect!

Yes the joining part of the header pipe and the baffle are a very close fit by the frame. There is about 1/16 of an inch space or if that between the frame and the pipe joining connections.


Other than what was mentioned I have had not problems with it at all.


If you need more assitance on installing it you can pm me..it only should take 15-30 to install with out breaking a sweat.

Regards, Fly

Thanks Desert you descibed exactly what I am seeing. My first thought was that the front mount was bent and did not fit on the bike squarely. Thank you again for everyones time and replies it is much appriciated.
