Default Hooker sidepipe mufflers

Can someone tell me how to install?.

Do I force them into the sidepipe?. Does the flared end go to the front?.

I tried to stick them into the pipe and it will be really tight. I guess I just got to force them in there?. Thanks alot..

Yes. The flared in faces the collector. I installed a non-Hooker brand and they weren't tight at all. You may try a little anti-seize.

Forum member and buddy Wnjlt1 actually gave me a set of low mileage Sweet Thunders. They are great.
