"Okay, we already got the exhaust on. Now go ahead and just put back together your bike just like you started. So, just start with your under tail first and then just work on your sides. Okay, in this clip it's time for me to go ahead and do our final inspection to make sure everything is put together properly. We've got our pipe on, we put all the plastics back on in the same order that we took it off. So, we didn't go over how to put your plastics back on. Just do the same order that you took them off and you should be fine. All right, so let's go ahead and inspect our bike. Make sure you put all the plastics on properly, make sure you didn't miss any screws or nuts and make sure the pipe is on. And we'll go ahead and do a test to see how it sounds. Okay, so I'm just walking around and making sure everything that we took off looks good. I'm going to check our right side, got our foot peg on, rider's side foot peg or passenger on, and then I'm going to check our under tail, check out our pipe, make sure it all looks good, everything looks nice and solid. I'm going to walk around to this side and go ahead and check over here where we took all these parts off, make sure all the screws are on, make sure we didn't miss anything. Make sure it's all looking good. And so far it looks really good and our pipe's looking really good. Make sure it's solid, make sure you have all the clamps on there. All right, so let's go ahead and turn it on and see how it sounds. All right, so let's go ahead and start it up. Now that sound you heard, that was the fuel injection, so wait for that to turn off, and then just put it in neutral and go ahead and start it. Hey, that sounds really good. Let's go ahead and rev it up a couple times. So that sounds really nice. That pipe makes a big difference. Okay, so that's it, we're all done. We put our pipe on, everything is looking really good. I did go ahead and when I put all my stuff back on I didn't put the heat shield back on because this pipe's chrome and I think I really like the way it looks. It might get a little bit hotter but I think it'll be okay. So all in all, the pipe should give you about three extra horsepower depending on the pipe you get and that's how you put an exhaust on a sport bike."
