I wouldnt do that just cause i wouldnt want to weld any more than necessary. It is pretty tricky to do. I just made one cut and thus one weld by cutting the end cap off then cutting my amount out and put the cap back on. Unless you just really love welding i dont see the point in two cuts.

 

less back pressure lost and it doesnt get much louder than stock. you dont have to cut into the 4 chambers thats in the exhaust...

 

Lamby,

So if I am reading this right you cut the 6 inches off the "can" toward the front of the bike and cut and reweld the mount? That actually doesn't sound too hard and I am planning on painting it black anyways... Thanks for the help.

 

yeah you'll see its hollow at that part.

 

Well I was planning on cutting into my stockexhaust today and I a few questions popped up...

I was planning on doing it like lamby, but then I got an idea. If you cut off the veryend of the can, can you push all the inner pipes and packing down the pipe (to eliminate the need for rewelding the mount)? Are the inner pipes secured in the can somehow?

Also, I assume the can is stainless and I believe that you can't just use a mig welder on stainless, you have to use a tig welder, right? What did you guys weld with?

 

without reading all the previous posts.....

ive done it, cut out as little as possible if youre worried about it scraping in a 12 oclock wheelie but if you just want to take it off so that you get the sound dont do it. Basically you lose back pressure and it sounds like crap anyways and you lose some low end power.

 

If you look at the previous posts, if you just take out the 6inch section that is not packed w/ anything you will get slightly louder w/out losing much backpressure.

 

i dunno about pushing it down but yeah we used a mig welder. its not hard to cut the mount and reweld it....
