Just bought this from here but i can;t get it to fit the flappy connection won't fit in between the sections ? anybody know why, it was sold off a twin cam 2010 ?

Might have been fitted without the flappy valve ??

it might have been fitted to a twin cam but its an earlier single cam system,if you look in the picture of thr original for sale thread you can see the attatchment points for the flappy valve control box

[autogs]

Some owners remove the flappy valve and prefer not to have it. Looking at original for sale photo there is no valve fitted to the bike sporting your new exhaust..
So you either remove yours or keep the original system, it won't fit into this exhaust.

Loads of threads on here about the purpose of the valve. Many think it is just for noise regulations. I removed mine and added a link pipe to replace it and am very happy.

Thanks, will try it another day, put the old one back on now, i bet its louder than i thought with the flap valve removed

Just PM'd you- it was indeed fitted without the flappy bit. The black box was disconnected and the cables unclipped.
More detail in my PM to you.
HTH,
