Vance and Hines Question

[devauxr]

I just very recently bought a used 4-1 for my 1980 gs850. when it came it was just the header and the muffler which is no big but my question is is there a clamp to connect where the muffler meets the header or is the pressure just supposed to hold the two pieces together. I've done a lot with cars and putting on a muffler without a clamp seems like a bad idea but they typically use hangers so i'm not sure. Second question is (before i take the old exhaust off) does the muffler bolt straight on where the existing one does or is there a bracket that makes it work. My friend put the same exhaust on his 550 and i seem to remember a flat piece of metal which basically relocated the hole.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Also if anyone has any pics of there 4-1 setup that would be super helpful.

The muffler is just a slip fit, and it is held in place by the mounting bracket on the muffler. Sometimes you might need an adapter, but you won't know for sure until you get it on there. If it's new and for your model, it should bolt to existing mount. Be sure to replace your exhaust gaskets!
