installing cat converter/primary muffler

[almosthere]

Has anyone installed a primary muffler /catalytic convert on their RT? having problems getting the top hanger hooked up.

Watching, I'll be doing this soon.

I don't have an RT but have done it on my F3S, several times during my journey to find the perfect sound. Do you have a spring tool? If not, you can use some strong cord or the like to loop around it and make it long enough to give you a better angle to pull with.... It is a bear, BUT YOU CAN DO IT!

Here is an example of a spring tool that I'm referring to:

When searching for one I would buy the longest one you can find. With that said, I still used a helmet hook cable I had to add to the length of mine to give a better pulling angle...

Yes the springs look to be another challenge however I was talking about the rubber hanger on the top center of the largest part.

Hook it on top, then use a 18” rod or extension to push it on the bypass hook. There is room. I use a 3/8” long extension. The springs are simple; use a piece of parachute cord, and have a helper pull from the rear while you guide the hook. 20 minutes, max.

Thanks I will try it that way in the morning

Three people, a piece of wire to loop the spring and band aids
