I got pics on my cell, but know why to post them on here. I can put them on my facebook though.

I've thought about making a quick how to from the pics I took, but I kept forgetting to snap pics through the whole process.out of like 30 minutes I only got 4 pictures really for step by stepping

 

Oh well dang. Still my big question. Can I cut the can from the bottom?

 

I got a writeup right here for ya.

I cut down on the bottom (after drilling out the rivets) because i used a hacksaw and the cut would be less noticable on the bottom. And reuse the old packing for cripes sake this is a "free mod"... You just have to trim it down to size. If I had the urge to redo it again i would of cut the can down an extra inch or two, but it sounds 10x better than then before the way it is.

 

i cut the bottom of mine too, but that was mainly to retain the maker's mark on the can. in totally i took just a little over 5.5 inches off the total length.

i just noticed that i do have the pictures in my album

 

ive got a FMF cut down for sale (no midpipe). $50 shipped and i might have a gloss black/chrome cut down exhaust by tomorrow. I need to finish it up though

The black/chrome one has a midpipe and it fits the FMF too so somebody buy both for $150 shipped midpipe has a small dent from the swingarm.

 

Thank you sir. I think I'm gunna try this in the next few weeks. I gotta get a rivet gun.

 

there used to be a video on youtube but i dont know if its still on there.. Had a friend of mine cut mine for me this is what it looks like now... yeah i agree with sick.. u will love it.. its alot louder

 

Sick- Awesome write up man thanks for sharing. I'm trying to resist cutting it down tonight but I want to ride to work tomorrow to bad so looks like it will wait till saturday.

Jay_J - As far as the slit carbon fiber sleeve goes. If you do decide you don't want to cut yours down they sell replacement sleeves on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Motorcycle-Carbon-Fiber-Exhaust-Sleeve-Yoshimura- a little pricey but always a back up option.

 

I'm definalty cutting mine down. It will look way better and get rid of that crack.

 

DO IT
it sounds alot better, heres my hindle cut SHORT
in the next few months i'm going to mounting it underneath the fairings on the bottom!
