Drilled a yosh trs with a cobalt bit at slow speed and it was also butter.

 

haha......dont forget th nitrous bottle to the left....and the meth under the c16


yeah thats why i didnt rivet it together yet i want to ride it first and see how loud and obnoxious it is like this. I only got to hear it in the garage and it sounded good but its hard to tell how loud itll be outside. If its too loud im gonna put some of the packing back in then rivet it back together.


I was starting to think it might have been re-riveted and repacked. The rivets looked factory/oem/whatever from jardine but when i finally got the top off there was some masking tape tape around the inside of the can, like in between can and the little end piece with the outlet on it that the rivets went through almost as a seal or something. I doubt any company uses masking tape on their exhausts or any other products. Also the packing had some type of like plastic twine tied/wrapped around it to hold it around the baffle? Did your jardine have that?


Yeah i tried that the first few times and tried and also tried to drill them with a dremel at 10k till the bits were glowing red hot. Cutting around them only took 10 minutes anyway though.

 

ya, the twine keeps the packing nice and tight when they slide it in the can. Pretty sure they come with that.. there should have been silicone sealant around the cap when u pulled it off.. if it was tape, then the guy prob took it apart..

 

When I cut down my scorpion slip-on it had stainless rivets in it. Too a while to get them drilled out but it all worked out.

 

How much louder did it make your pipe

 

ok cool cuz all the other how to's ive seen the packing has never had twine around it so i was confused. but the masking tape definitely didnt seem like it belonged there so i bet the guy took it off and did something with it, the bike only had 10k miles when i bought it so i doubt he put enough miles on the exhaust to have to repack it but who knows.

Yeah jay they had to be something like that but i feel like even if they were stainless a high speed steel, titanium nitride coated drill bit should be able to make easy work of it but whatever.

Ummm as for the sound its way throatier and it was way louder at first but as soon as i put the end cap on and everything the bike honestly wasnt THAT much louder once i brought it outside. Right now it has no packing and no baffling in it and its obviously a little louder, which i wanted since my jardine was quiet as sh*t, but its very tolerable and not too obnoxious. but at the same time its way throatier, like i said, and sounds waaaay better...id definitely recommend doing this. If its too loud for your taste you can always add more packing and the baffling.
