I bought a used SLP silencer but did not get any of the mounting hardware. According to SLP I can get a mounting kit for $29 that consists of a rubber bumper, exhaust outlet flange with rivets, heat wrap and a twist tie. I wonder if I need the exhaust outlet flange and can get by with just the rubber bumper for $5. Does anyone who has this silencer go through this or not? I test fitted the can and it seems to set in the bellpan outlet as good and the stock muffler so I'm wondering what this flange does. This is going on a 00 MM700 by the way.
 
I think if you decide to go without the flange, you may end up melting part of the exit hole in the belly pan. I had the same can a few years back before I put pipes on and I didn't have the flange. I ended up having to make one out of thin aluminum and some rivets after it melted the exit hole in my belly pan.

Also make sure when installing this can that you have lots of clearance between the head bolts on the front of the mag cylinder and the exhaust. This is a problem with these cans.
 
I never had anything with my SLP can on my SRX except for the can and the springs holding the can onto the pipes. Mine never burned the bellypan any. But sometimes the silencer would "jump" out of the exit hole a little bit. I would recommend using the rubber bumper. You don't need any of that other stuff IMO.
 
Were you guys able to use the stock springs to hold the thing in place or did you have to make some other springs work? From my brief look it seems that what I have stock isn't going to be sufficient without some thing else to hold it in place.
 
It needs the flange at the bottom...or the crazy thing will burn through.

Remove the rubber stock ring. The bumper you can probably replace with something else that's rubbery...keeps it from beating up the chaincase. Springs are springs.

Do you re-use the stock rubber ring in addition to what comes with the SLP mounting kit? The problem I've having now is finding the kit as SLP is out of them right now.
