Or the loose pipe end has damages the softer aluminum of the head & you no longer have a flat surface for the head ,crush gasket/doughnut ,& pipe end to seal together. Lets hope not . Baby Huey

Hello Jeff
Did you read my message #46691?
The exhaust port cylindrical surface should be flat and parallel to the flared end of the exhaust pipe. The gasket sits between. Don't tighten the muffler mounts to the frame. Just hang or the muffler or half a turn on a nut. Tighten up the exhaust port end first. The fit to the frame may not be perfect but should be close. If it is 'off' too much, it may not be the correct muffler, or it may be bent, or it may be a different head on your motorcycle that isn't original?

First, I imagine the fange is not flush against the head - that there is some space between the fange and the head. Second, if there is supposed to be some space will the space to equal by both studs - or will there a slightly unequal spacing between the fange and the head. I guess I am wondering if there is some adjustment that needs to be made to the exhaust pipe curve out of the head (although I doubt this). I have never seen an assembled Passport exhaust system and the bike is new to me. By the way, for those of you that have helped me order the correct parts, the stud was not broken off; rather, the previous owner must have let the 6mm nut vibrate loose and the stud must have then also vibrated out of the head. I cleaned up the threads and the new stud when in, no problem. Thanks, Jeff
