You may want to loosen the hanger bracket & see if you can get the muffler pushed in more onto the collector. The video shows the slop but also maybe the muffler can go in a little more. Also might want to loosen the rear pipes in case you tightened them first. If I remember the instructions said to leave things loose, assemble, adjust as nessessary for fit before really making it all tight. Ya might need to walk away from it & go back at it another day, messing around with it.

My cans wiggled a little but not as bad. I messed with the system & they are solid now.
As Bob mentioned I had exhaust leaks, showing soot at some of the rear joints head pipe to collector. I found some T-bolt clamps which clamped nice & round, not oval. The leaks are almost completely fixed. Very little soot leak showing vs a big soot marks. It's basicly just a soot water drip ya see when ya look under there.

My biggest problem with the V&H was the center bolt for the rear pipes where it bolted to the rear motor mount. I used a longer bolt with nut for that.

Well got the muffler to link fixed I went and got an exhaust repair kit just raped the black sticky tape around once muffler back on no wobbling about but a very small leak under the bottom spring but over time carbon build up should seal this
One other question what do you guys use to clean the black ceramic part with

WD-40 works GREAT! Glad you got it fixed

WD40 ok ill give it a go also did the AIS mod no popping now

I have V&H and mine doesn't leak.

You painted your pipes black & they don't show soot marks.
