Tools needed: Drill, 3/16” drill bit, Hi Temp Silicone Sealant, Rivet Gun, Center Punch, 1/16" Pin Punch, Hacksaw, Allen wrench
Step One:
Use a 1/16" pin punch and a hammer to drive the stainless steel rivet pins through the rivet.
Step Two:
Using a 3/16” drill bit, drill out the existing rivets holding the stock end cap in place, make sure to remove the head of the rivet.
Step Three:
Use a pin punch or similar device and a hammer, push the rivets through the hole and through the stock end cap.
Step Four:
Pull the stock end cap out of the muffler. Remove all
pieces of the old rivets from the packing material inside of the muffler canister.
Step Five:
Cut off the portion of the inner core that is sticking out of the muffler so that it is flush with the outer canister of the muffler. This is easily accomplished with a hacksaw. Be careful not to cut into the aluminum canister. The inner core must be flush with the aluminum canister or the spark arrestor screen could be damaged.
Step Six:
Smear a small amount of silicone sealant to the stepped portion of the new end cap receiver and around the receiver of the inner core. I used this sealant ( Hi Temp Silicone ).
Step Seven:
Install the new end cap receiver, make sure that the receiver is pushed up tight to the muffler.
Step Eight:
Install one rivet at a time by drilling a 3/16” hole at each rivet hole location. Each time you drill a hole and install a rivet make sure that the end cap is pushed up tight to the muffler.
Install rivet.
Step Nine:
Clean up excess silicone sealant with Lacquer Thinner or Carb cleaner and paper towel.
Step Ten:
Insert the spark arrestor screen and check for clearance with the inner core.
Step Eleven:
Install the cone nozzle with three M6 bolts using an Allen wrench.
Finished!!!!
Optional Step Twelve:
Remove lower M6 Bolt and install Quiet core.
