So I cut 6 1/2" out of the trs yesterday and everything went pretty good. I followed Sick's tutorial for the most part. I don't understand though why he did it in two cuts because it can be done in one. Cutting is the toughest part so one less cut is nice. Drilling the new holes through the stainless steel for the rivets was pretty much impossible with the regular drill bit so I bought a 3/16" cobalt bit and it was butter. Definitely worth the $8. Anyway heres some pics



I used a slot screw driver to bend the edges a bit after I drilled out the rivets just make the cap slide off easier. It was still pretty tough though

 

overall length? my devil is 11" yours look close

 

Wow looks good. Job well done. How long did it take you to do?

 

Not including the inlet and outlet the can itself is 12". Total time was probably around 4 hours. The cutting took the longest with a hack saw. I for sure would have used a sawzall with a metal blade but it was at work.

 

for future inquires... if you have a clear coated carbon fiber exhaust.... used a dremel with a cutting wheel it would have saved me alot of misery....

 

haha ya hacksaw and carbon fiber is not the best combo...

Heres a before pic. Looks a lot better short I think and I'll fire it up tomorrow to hear it purr!

 

my problem was that after i was done my line was crooked as all get go... had to do alot of trimming/sanding with the dremel to get it straight

but yea dude it should sound good make sure and let us know

 

looks way good man...love the shorty look...i gotta get mine done...might have the dude at my local bike shop do it for me

 

That looks awesome bro. I kinda wanna cut more on mine but I'm lazy. Lol.

 

Pipe sounds unreal! Only rev'ed to 7k but still significantly more throaty then pre cut. Definitely worth the time to do it.

Thanks man. How much did you take out of yours? And ya i'd probably be way too lazy to repeat that whole process for another inch or two haha
