        Mr. rebeldart, dont start another thread on the same topic. People cant follow your V&Hs saga .

        Where do you live ? Throw one side in a snow bank (its -10 here) and warm the other side in a oven. Worth a try....

          Bonanza - it's really two issues, even tho' it's all part of the friggin' header install. I'm in Florida - sunny, high sixties, t-shirt. You hate me, I know ..... snow is quite a drive from here, and can't fit the header side in the freezer !

            A muffler shop could expand that for you. Dont know what that would do to the chrome .

            Yes, I hate you .

              just bolt it together on the bike and make/fabricate/ weld a new bracket to suit

                    Rebel, it might still help to explain more of what you were looking for in case someone hadn't read your previous thread. Good luck with it though.

                      I agree with you rebeldart, the tube needs to be inserted more than 1/4" both for safety and to lessen the chance of an exhaust leak. The header isn't going to need to be opened up much, probably less than 1/16 inch. Take both pieces to a muffler shop and they can swage the opening up by any amount you need with a hydraulic tool that will save your chrome and make it fit like a glove.
                      If the pipe is for your model and year bike, I would be asking the manufacturer what happened.

                        I meant to post the two pics in under the same topic but accidentally started a separate topic ............ anyway, did a search of the site and came across a few posts regarding the same issue. Looks like I'll be visiting the muffler shop Monday. Thanks all.
