Default Two Brothers Perfect after CUT!

I got bored yesturday and it was raining all day so I decided to try and cut my Two Brothers CF slip on. As anyone who has one knows they stick out way past the tail.

It was really easy to do and took about 1 1/2 hours from start to finish.
Here is a pic of the finished product.

All you have to do is measure how much you want off. Drill out the rear rivets, pop off the end capand start cutting. I used a dremel with a metal cutting disc. It cut the CF like a hot knife and butter. Just make sure you use masking tape where you are going to cut and make sure the cut is straight or the cap will not sit flush and it will leak.

Hope this helps!

Looks great! Why do the manufactures make the exhausts so long? It makes the bike look horrible. I did a lot of research before buying mine, for sound and look. That is why I went with the Jardine Carbon Dual Outlet. The look and sound are perfect for my taste. I am new to the forum; can anyone tell me how to upload a sound clip? Below is the link to the pic of the Jardine installed.

Usually the length of the pipe is relavent to the width. It has to do with creating the right amount of volume in the can to conrtol heat issues. In other words I hope ya pipe dont heat up more due to this modification.

My pipe is CF so heat is not an issue. Pipe did get alittle deeper in sound and performance is the same. I love the way it looks and sounds. Its a huge difference from my friends bike that is not cut.
