The inserts get stuffed up the inside of the tail pipe from the exit end. You can't feed them up the other end as the pipe from the collector is both too long and has a sharp bend in it.
What your then meant to do is either rivet or screw them in place. The ones I brought have been formed over a mandrel and then chromed. When you look up the end of the pipe you can see the insert, and it looks 'orible.
The ones on the links rushjob has posted look miles better, so if I feel that way inclined I might buy a set of them.
One word of warning. If you have carbon cans the inserts can mean the carbon gets too hot due to the hot gasses spending longer in the pipe. This will discolour the carbon.
One of my DP cans has done this from having the panniers on the bike all the time and the can consequently not getting cooled enough by the passing air.
Cheers,
John.
