And I'm not sure if those are retaining springs as I can't even slide the black plastic far enough to know. What I'm going to do next time I get a chance is take a measurement of the stock exhaust from the rear tip to where they attach to the stock header pipe. That way I have a base idea of length of the pipe when attached. This should help me in determining how far before I need to try and pull on those springs..

Installation tips for slip on's

If they ARE springs (can't imagine what else they could be), you WILL have to pull on one end to get it on, and it WILL be somewhat difficult. At least all my motocross bikes back in the 80's were that used them. FWIW... ;-)

Finally installed my new slip ons, love the sound for sure. Not to loud but certainly not stock. I couldn't remove all of the stock mounting bolts off of the mounting brackets. I wasn't sure if they were Torx bolts or Allen Bolts, it didn't matter they were stuck in there good. Stripped three bolts, which had to be drilled out and if I ever want to re use the OEM cans will need to re thread or re tap those areas on the back of the cans.
