My understanding of the proper way to bend a pipe is to pack it with sand so that the pipe does not crease when bending. Can I (should I) do this with the kit exhaust which is a one piece muffler and pipe? Can I simply hose out the sand when finished? I need a very small bend in the pipe. As it is now I can get the exhaust on but the muffler sits directly against the down-tube. I cannot get even a piece of paper between the muffler and the tube.
Secondary question. Will this muffler get hot enough to melt the sticker on the down-tube if I left it as is?
