I'm not sure which model exhaust it is.

Anyone have an opinion on where I should get the packing material (fiberglass?) to replace after I hack it off?
How about the rivet tool and rivets--what options should I consider?
Thanks all!

 

Heres the riveter I used. http://www.harborfreight.com/hand-ri...set-38353.html

And packing, http://www.yoshimura-rd.com/p-3018-m...king-road.aspx

 

Thanks Ragnar, does anyone know if this exhaust packing from Yoshimura is preferred over more generic exhaust packing?

 

I am getting ready to do this shortening job, folks. I'm going to follow the guide here:

I have a bunch of questions for you all before I begin drilling and sawing.
Is this smaller cylinder within the muffler a baffle?
If it is, how can I remove it so I can shorten the thing?
I am planning to reduce the muffler from the midpipe side. Do I also have to remove the rivets and pull off the outlet side to remove the baffle?
Is there a bonding agent other than rivets holding the end caps in place?

I appreciate any an all advice.

 

when i did mine i didn't have to take the whole thing apart just one side...i would leave the outlet side alone since it looks like more work...lol...
yes there should be high temp silicone in the rivets and around the end caps so it doesn't leak...

 

i wana shorty mine its the same exhaust post up how it turns out of you have time thanks

 

I cut my trs earlier this year. Here's the thread it might help you answer some questions.

I'd also suggest cutting the strap that goes around the pipe and riveting it to the body of the muffler so it doesn't wrap over the yoshi plate. I did it on mine and it looked better than having the plate covered. It made it look less like it was a hacked can and more like it was supposed to be that length.

 

Thanks for your comments and help everyone.

Thanks, Nick. Did yours have that baffle thing in it?

I see the pictures in your album. It looks very nice. I would love to see a close-up picture of your riveting job. Can you post one, please?

 

No mine never had that.. maybe it's a low volume insert?

My pipe was also from 2010. Maybe that thing was in previous years or something
