Remus slip-on install help needed !?

[immigrant]

I finally busted through the snowbank to get in to my shop to install the remus slip-on. I got the stock exhaust of easy, but noticed that there is some kind of gasket (see pic no.1) still on the stock header. The diameter of the remus piece (see pic no.2) that fits between the remus exhaust and header is too small to slide over the gasket (see picture no.3), so it seems i have to remove the gasket. My question is do i just slide the new peace over the header without the gasket and tighten the bracket, or do i have to put on another thinner gasket and then slide the new piece over the header. It would have to be a pretty thin gasket if that is the case.

Is this the way the your gasket was when you removed the OEM exhaust?

Last week I got new spare gasket for when I get a different exhaust, just in case I need it. They told me to put the solid (black) part down and the other part up because of heat :-\ .
I have removed my exhaust before, but I don't remember which part of the gasket was down or up, my dealer replaced the gasket when they replaced the rear shock not too long ago, I'm wondering if they put the gasket the proper way.

Are you saying your dealer removed the exhaust to change the shock? Surely not.........

This is the way it was when I took off the stock exhaust. It is on there tight. I my have to pound it with a hammer and block of wood to slide it off - or cut it off maybe. What is it made of?

Thanks Immigrant.

I was there one day, they showed me the gasket and told me, "we have the gasket here, now we're just waiting for the shock"

The part that is on the pipe now should have stayed in the muffler. It's no big deal, just work it off and then slide on the new pipe. Call me tomorrow at the office and I can walk you through it.

Thanks Tabasco. No big deal, but will phone you anyway. Your fork protectors are the business by the way ::008:: ::008::
