Just cut my scorpion in half and a lil FYI make sure the material you take off is on the tip side not the pipe the internal baffle is welded on the pipe side and slip fit on the tip, just drill out the rivets and used electrical tape for a line then used a cut off wheel re drilled rivet holes and reassembled. Sounds so much better has a very deep tone at idle and in the e way cars hear me come and move out the way. Will post pics just waiting for rain to stop

just got done, for all you 2bros guys. this ones for you...





done similar to the DIY but not exactly. the 2bros middle sleeve doesnt come fully out the full exhaust. so u have to cut and cram the end cap on and rerivet..

How was cutting through the carbon fiber material? any special precautions for that?

Anybody ever try taking a stock pipe apart and shortening it? Just bought an f4i and it needs some more tone, and there are some small vertical dents st the tail end of the pipe, so hoping I can kill two birds with one stone.
