Another Exhaust Thread (Vandemon Headers) with Installation Pictures

I have thoroughly investigated the situation and nothing can be moved or slipped in without misaligning everything else including the connection to the headers. I should probably send all that to Vandemon so they can adjust their design.
 
After having had 30 (or so)High performance bikes and having changed every exhaust system in all, I've found several truths!
First, unless major changes are made to the AFR..the performance is worse than stock.
second, the mounting system is NEVER as good and secure as stock. As far as looks are concerned....to each his own. Sound is far better but with the R3....I'"m leaving it stock. Too old !!
 
I have gotten used to the sound and this system is actually as secure as stock which is nice. I have the Penner tune right now but am going to Vegas for Halloween and am getting a custom dyno tune at Revv Point Moto.

Just out of curiosity, is the clearance between the exhaust and tire the same as stock or do you think it’s closer? I was just wondering if those 18inch 280/35 custom rims would still work with the vandemon.

Oof, I'm wondering if I'll be able to get the stock rim off without removing the can. The Vandemon extends in front of the tire. I guess I'll find out before my Vegas trip when I get a new tire.
