New Emgo shorty reverse cone exhaust on my 2014 CB1100

So, you're saying the short (Nickson) pipe at its inlet has to be 1-3/4" INSIDE diameter to slip over Honda's OEM fixed head pipe? There are no slot cuts in the end of the head pipe, nor the connecting pipe, so the latter has to slip on fairly tightly in order to clamp properly, correct?

The other (outlet) end of this same short connecting pipe has to be 1-5/8" OUTSIDE diameter, to slip into the EMGO, but with a little slop to be taken up by the largest size Emgo reducer? The Emgo inlet only has one slot cut, so is its clamp able to provide enough force to hold it properly to the connecting pipe?

Sorry to be so anal about this stuff, but as you know ordering the correct size interconnecting link pipe for this muffler is proving to be easier said than done. The info you have provided is mainly for future reference, since I will probably stick with my new Delkevic 9" Oval. The link pipe it comes with has a CS stopper bracket, and this is a very nice looking slip on that sounds pretty good in its own right.
