Is there some secret to fitting the muffler on a 2.9? My original was loud so I decided to buy a new one. Well...the mounts are close but still different. Old muffler lines up to all mounts pretty well. New one looks like it needs a 1/4" spacer at the top rear mount and that the mounting hole needs to be slotted forward. It also touches the little tail frame piece that mounts the rear fender.
I had a similar fit problem with a replacement air box.

All I can tell you is that airboxes are easy, a little heat will make it fit like a glove!
Muffs are a different story! I only ever replaced one and had similar problems. Had to knock the frame tabs a bit with a hammer and knock the rear down a bit using a rubber mallot! The thing will flex a bit, but use caution! If you are just unsure, see if you can exchange one off another bike to see if it is just THAT muff. If so, send it back!
That is all I can tell you!
