Hogan drilled the holes in my rear flange too close together. In the dark, with it 5 inches from my face I couldn't get them drilled out enough for the studs to go in. I guess this will be another exhaust shop bill tomorrow. It is STUPID LOUD with no anything.

Got it fixed. Took a carbide bit to the holes. It runs good, getting tuned Monday. Except for this problem, the quality and service were top notch on the Hogan.
