Hello, I currently have an RS3 carbon yoshi...my friend shortened his non carbon pipe and i really like the look and sound it produces now.

Anyone have any suggestions on cutting carbon? I am pretty sure it can be done but want to be sure before i try. Thanks so much for any help.

is your friend for things like this. The worst part about cutting any fiberous material is the tiny fibers that come out. wear a mask, goggles, gloves, and long sleeves......it can get pretty itchy when it contacts skin. running water over it while your cutting can minimize air born particles. use tape to mark your edge all the way around the canister. after you cut it, sand the edge with a fine grit paper and reseal it with super glue.

Depending on how much your cutting, you could take a couple practice runs if you wanted.

 

Yeah we were planning on putting duck tape on each side to stop the vibration and i did google it and they said it would be really hard which i wasnt to sure about

 

dont use duck tape... use painters tape it wont leave nasty residue..

 

Yes I had thought of that when I said duck tape haha. Nothing goo gone cant fix but glad we thought of it now. Ok so tape it off, I just wonder what the best tool would be to cut it...hmmmm most likely something I do not have haha. I also wonder if I will need a power commander after doing this...

 

shop saw or sawza.. and na u shouldnt NEED a pcIII but it never hurts lol

 

Nice i finally get to use my saws all. i am very excited!!

 

Wish i was closer. I have a shorty two brothers that i want to trade for a longer pipe like yours. Mine is 12" inches or so but i'm in Western Canada. Dang.

 

Do it and take pictures! We all love pictures here on the internets.

Measure twice and cut once!

Don't forget that you'll need a rivet gun, and a dremel tool is not absolutely necessary but made the project a 100x easier.

I got mine at a yard sale for $5 and it was the best 5 bucks i've ever spent.
Unless i goto taco bell then i always say "oh yea this is the best 5 buck i've ever spent!" gotta love them volcano tacos...

 

Hmmm you have a shorty you want to exchange? Haha...send me a pic is it CF? Yes I will take pics...anyone have experiences with sawsall? are there certain blades that would work better then others? Thanks. Sorry I want to be as prepared as I can be.
