i am running the exhaust from the headers to the mid pipe. i meant i'm not running a can at all right now.

 

Still in the dark

from where i last left off i had measured the can out for the cut so i'll start here with the cut

now this is a must have

so after the can was cut we had to measure and get the right cut on the core

now we took a file to make our first marking

then we went back over it with white out so it can be seen better while cutting

after cutting the core i wrapped it in steel wool to reduce the noise and as repacking cause the packing ws shot

i put in a layer of silicone on the can cap (sorry no pic) then drilled the wholes for the pop rivets (you can use screws)

(sorry no pic of the pop riveting either, got carried away in the work)
figured since i already siliconed the cap why not make it air tight. so i pulled off the mid pipe and put a layer on there where it goes
over the header pipe tip

and the finished project looks like this

what i do recomend is being very sure that you have all the tools for the job.

 

anybody??

 

I have a Hindle exhaust.
Will it be a fairly similar steps, of cutting it apart.
What kind of silicone and brand did you use?

 

yeah, the brand doesnt make the job ant hardy. just measure and take your time

 

Nice work. I like the final product! I can't wait until I can get a slip-on for mine. The stock can is hideous and silent!

 

lol not sayign anything bad about doing this but no backpressure on ur motor will burn ur valves, you will understand when u have to rebuild ur motor but if you dont understand what your talking about plz dont tell other people that it will not effect there motors. yes are engines can run with little to no back pressure but its not made to and will effect your motor in the long run. You can make a shorty exhaust if done properly with the proper baffling in it and not effect ur motor and still ge tthe same power output.

 

I also did this sunday to my Micron CF muff and it sound great...
