PFR exhaust - 1974 250 Mag

Hello all..... I have just bought a PFR (thru the frame) exhaust for a 1974 250 Mag .. problem is.. the thing doesn't fit.. it hits on the cylinder head.. (I'm running a straight fin head .. not as some would do running a radial).. barely enough room under the gas tank.. and you can't turn the handlebars because the front guard hits the up section of the pipe.. Anyone else running one of these.. and....did you have to cut and shut to fit..??!!

I have the same pipe with none of those issues...something's wrong in a big way with the pipe you recd....send it back and ask for the right one from them....I know who builds them if you need help of some sort but they should replace it with no issues or added costs to you...

I have a PFR it fits fine. Do you have more wiggle room to mount the pipe without the silencer? The silencer I am using is a DG. The PFR silencer is too loud. Jeff
