Default What is it and where does it go?

http://www.zip-corvette.com/68-82-c3...ut-sleeve.html


I just got the new exhaust in, its a cheap one but it will get me on the road. The above part came with it but I can't seem to figure out why. The old system didn't have it so why would I put it in???
I still have the heat riser in and don't know if its working right.


So if you have any good info on these two thing let me know. Thanks

That holds your exhaust donut in place while you bolt it all together.

PS I had a 2001 Buell Cyclone once apon a time. Fun bike, but I was afraid it would fall apart while riding it!

It's also a bit of a spacer if you still have the heat riser valve on the passenger side .
