the clips are at the bottom of the picture and need to be fitted on the header pipes.

I see. But its installed. Both pipes goes into the exhaust-holes fine, but its like that the pipes are just a tad too small, so that exhaust (and sound) comes out around the pipe end (the end that goes into the head).

Strange. Vance & Hines pipes fit pretty good normally.

I can imagine that. At that price, the exhaust should've been self-installing

Does that mean that you did, or that you didn't, use the retaining rings (clips)?

Did you use exhaust gaskets?
