Making Grand Canyon replicas from air boxes...
I know a few people have installed the Holeshot header with stock cans. What I don't know is how the heck you got the stock cans to fit! I did remove the gasket from the stock mid-pipe before trying to slip it onto the header, but the end of the Holeshot header seems just a tad too big for the stock mid-pipe to slip onto it all the way.
I've already tried using a dremel to clean up the contact areas (there was some gunk on the end of the header because it was used). I used the dremel to grind an angle into the the very end of the header. I've also tried using various lubricants to help them slide together, but the best I've gotten is about half-way mounted (probably good enough that I could tighten down the clamp on the mid-pipe and have no leakes, but the mounting bracket on the stock can is almost an inch away from the mounting point on the bike).
What am I missing here? This was supposed to be a nice easy afternoon project in preparation for my dyno tuning appointment on Thursday :angry2:
