Today I turned my Jardine RT-one into a shorty.



This was pretty easy, but I did it in a steel shop so I had some sweet tools at my disposal so that probably helped the easy factor. If any one would like the steps I used let me know.

 

I would love to know how you did this!! I have a hindle and think it would look and sound way better !!

 

i just did my scorpion carbon fiber pipe a few days ago also but really did not change the sound much at all just looks so much better. its nuts how much theese pipes cost there there is nothing to them.

 

Well since I'm lazy here is a link to the instructions I originally read.

Mine was a bit different not much. My inside core piece was all one piece and was flared at the inlet side. I took it all the way out and cut it from the other side since it wasn't flared.

To do my finish cut I used a metal devil saw, If you can find someone with one use it. It produces a perfect cut with no burs.

Tools needed
Saw: Chop, sawsall, hack saw, dremel whatever you can get your hands on. Oh you could use a wood miter saw, just get an old blade and flip it around so the teeth cut backwards.

Drill with proper bit for your size rivets.

Rivet gun and rivets.

Vice

Rubber malet or hammer and wood blocks

Just remember no two brands are the same.
