Ok... after many choice words and taking 1 step foward and 2 steps back many times followed by a few more choice words...and 2 days later all clean and polished this is what we end up with...
Thanks again GPW for the deal on the exhaust and hogger for the pointers on the install. I've never installed a full system before and was making all the rookie mistakes! The fit however isnt as good as I had hoped it to be. After getting things loose and removing and reinstalling the headers and mid pipe sections i just couldnt get the "y pipe" to get off the plastics on the bottom of the bike where the wing meets the 2 lower fairings. I went to Lowes and bought some refective tape and lined both lower fairings with it and after riding today it seems to be working great. I did have some melting though on the under side where the "wing" meets the 2 lower fairings. ( this is where i couldnt get any space between plastic and the "y pipes" ) so tomorrow i'm going to have to remove the left fairing and get a little dremel action on it so i dont have a melt down. The pipe sounds great, but i am throwing flames on decel and sometimes while shifting. Guess my PC3 map is a bit rich for the set up... gonna have to mess with that too... or maybe the marble mod is in my future....
