So I finally sourced a non standard exhaust and it'll be here at some point this week.

Is there a step by step guide to removing the standard pipes somewhere?

Quick Question. I don't use the stock gaskets with the new pipe?

Depends on the condition of your stock gasket I guess... I re-used mine several times before changing.
The ones on video are from wemotowebsite... and I used these few times as well and they hold OK.

Yep I would just reuse the stock gaskets as Marcin suggests and replace only if required, as cheap as they are at the Wemotowebsite is cash is often better spent only when its needed to be & this is not a make or brake situation by any means.

Well. They are test fitted. Finding it hard to get them tight on at the minute. Might have to take it to a local mechanic and throw him £20 just to get it tight.

LOUD is the word. Anyone else got these? They are LOUD. lol

Is there a way of checking its tight enough? Fairy liquid around the gasket are or something?

No mate...fire up the bike...if you got smoke coming from the gasket area - not tight enough...
no smoke - you're good.
Be careful not to overtighten the bolts - as in knacker them in the process... I normally tighten them up to first few metallic squeals and leave it there... check for smoke and ride, ride, ride and grin as hell :)

And congratulations on loudness :)
Of course they are...everything is loud compared to stock Wink
Just wait until you meet up with us...then we'll compare the "loud" lol

LOL, I'm not sure if I'm proud or embarrassed as to how loud they actually are yet. There may have to be baffles inserted, I haven't looked, but I'm guessing there are none there. Its pissing down so I haven't got Suzzy out yet

Can't see any smoke but I know for a fact the awkward bolt on the front pipe is not tight enough

The plates the bolts to through will not touch flat on the cylinders, if that's what you're trying to achieve. I got a gap too.

It's almost like I'm hearing myself few months ago hahaha... a mix of happy and concerned that I'm doing too much noise lol
All I can say...you'll get over it haha :P

In all seriousness is there an easy "quick fire" (no pun intended) way to stop the backfire? This is coming from someone who has no idea about engines btw.

Heading down to a *cough* Harley event tomorrow just to see how loud these really are.

Something like, turning a screw would be nice.
