Installed Pitbull pipe to replace secondary muffler.
I removed the secondary muffler on my F3 and noticed a gasket ring that came out of the center pipe on the secondary muffler. When I had everything off, I could not find where this part is going to fit on the new pipe. Everything went back together, but I'm a little concerned that I was not able to replace this ring back in one of the flanged ends of the replacement pipe. I could take it all apart, but installing the third spring on the top of the new pipe was a pain, so I thought I'd try this post to see if anyone has done this.

Installed Pitbull pipe to replace secondary muffler.
So here is the update. I removed the stock muffler and reluctantly removed those darn springs again. Had the pipe exposed in about ten minutes. Grabbed the cone shaped exhaust gasket that I left out and replaced on forward end of the replacement pipe I purchased from Pitbull . Now, that the gasket was in properly, it added a little more distance to stretching the three springs...oh fun..( never used the word fun). Whit at Pitbull suggested making a spring puller, which I did at lunch and was determined to not watch the sun go down again with only two springs done. Snagged the 3rd spring with my custom made puller, moved myself towards the back of the bike for leverage and gave it a tug. Done!! Had time left to install the +1 brake linkage to kick my legs out a bit more. Fired her up, and backed down the car ramps and took her for a spin to let Nanny reset herself after the gutting of that heavy boat anchor called secondary muffler. I so love this F3-S.
