I cut mine 7" but from the bolt on side. I see you don't have the akro logo on there. Did you cut from the end of it?

Yeah, I cut from the end cuz the sticker was scratched up. So I took it off too. I'm lookin for another badge or sticker to put on there.

Takes no more than 15 mins of your time. Its simple.

Tuned, I think it look good without the logo.

I thought there was more to it than that. I have plenty of mechanical ability but I have been lacking time for the past 6-8 months. I have a two brothers slip on and I was under the impression there was a center perforated pipe that had to be cut and rewelded as well as the outside aluminum can....

It is so simple: Drill out rivets, remove baffle, cut can, cut baffle, insert baffle, re-rivet can, and bolt back up..... Besides measurements, its that simple.....
