      Gaskets not included. You may need different nuts to mount it to the head and some modifications to the muffler mounts.

            For the 2 into one the center stand stays. One of the reasons I chose it. Gaskets are readily available at most bike shops or online ( ebay ect.). The mounts aren't tough at all if your even a little mechanically inclined. I fabricated mine from a simple 4" steel strap.

                  For $21 probably not. You can buy that recharge kit at auto parts for $10-$15.

                    they do not come with recharge kit... but are pre-oiled and ready to go. You can pickup a recharge kit @ any parts store... AJUSA.com drop ships em right from K&N. I've bought probably 10 filters from them for various vehicles over the last few years... Cycle Gear wanted $65 for the K&N for "Izzy" bought it for half that @ AJ's

                        Hey again,

                        I hope that was you that won that ebay pipe set, but if not, you haven't stated whether yours still has the OEM black MNS pipes or what??? Some photos of your bike would be nice to see.

                        IF they are still in decent shape aside from some small pinholes, you might be able to get them locally patched, then use some VHT black ceramic paint to get them close to matching the oem black color. Folks have drilled a few holes in the ends of the mufflers to get a bit more "throat" and tone from their pipes.

                        IIRC, the specials had longer exhaust studs, my MAC/JCWhitney's 4-1's went right on without any modification...used the supplied hex nuts and the muffler bracket just fine.

                            Those gaskets work fine.

                            Which system are you looking at? The only ebay link I see is the 4 into 1 black system.

                              Those in the ebay link should be fine. No need to use new gaskets every time the headers are removed. You can also get them and other items for your bike from PartsnMore who I believe is in Canada...
