I swore i didn't want a new exhaust on my 2023 scout rogue. A year later i have the performance air filter and i just got the freedom performance slip on's and i absolutely love it. I wish i could get the 101 but i still love everything about the rogue. It still has enough power than I'll ever need for the street. Thanks for the video it was good to see and hear what the 101 sounds like with a new slip on.

Thanks! You will easily find the clamp, but it is not fixed by any screw/hex bolt, must be a tab release kind of deal or maybe even single use clamp, I just could not get access to solve it. Bigger issue is without shortening the bolt and having a stubby hex key, you will need the headers off! I was walking my Indian dealer through all this on Tuesday as they have not had to do them yet!
