RE: exhaust cone

I cut mine off, didnt make any difference with the power and I barely noticed any difference in the sound, maybe a little deeper. I really dont think it does anything if you cut it off but I am sure it must free up some of the air flow, but nothing I can notice.......I had to give it a try but I .personally think its a waste of time.
My 2 Cents

RE: exhaust cone

Thank you for your 2 cents Arkas, but somthing in {more air in and free flow exhaust makes power} makes me want to cut it.

RE: exhaust cone

some aftermarket slipons (eg. 2 Bros.) require you to cut the cone. No big deal leaving it or removing it. Not worth the hassle to take it out in my opinion, but whatever floats your boat

RE: exhaust cone

I installed a Two-Brothers and was required to cut off the 'California' cone - if I didn't, the pipe wouldn't fit. It was super easy - just need a steady hand so as not to hack into the swing-arm (so save the beers for after). My new pipe had a leaky seal and I had to put the stock one back on while Two-Brothers re-sealed the pipe (by the way hang on to you stock pipe - you never know) - removing/cutting either the cone or in the case of a California bike - just more pipe, in no way affects the bike/performance.

RE: exhaust cone

In order to install my Two Bros. carbon fiber slip on, I HAD to cut off the cone because the slip on would not fit with it in place. I could not really tell the difference in feel, but it sounded a little throatier. No adverse effects and I'm sure I am getting better exhaust flow. Ridden over 10,000 miles with the cone off.
