I cut my exhaust in half; SWEET!!

Idaho Wolverine · 08-28-2007, 11:15 PM

My Muzzy can developed a crack in it and I was bored one evening......
So my 18" Carbon fiber exhaust can is now 9" long and sounds freakin SWEET!!

Took an hour and a half. Price was free. I like it.

Very nice. I've gone the cut can route myself - its a BIG money saver!

I like the look of that!!

Looks good!

LazyJ · 08-29-2007, 09:38 AM

swwweet i think

Rwvaulter · 08-30-2007, 02:10 PM

Other than looks and not buying a new pipe is there an advantage to doing that? I know with cars if you modify the exaust too much you can screw up the back pressure if you dont do it right.

Looks Gud!!

Rwvaulter · 08-31-2007, 11:48 AM

is there anything i need to know before i atempt this i have an extra two pipes stock and a carbon fiber did u weld the end back on or something else

Very nice looking and sounding! If you would have cut it any shorter it would have ended up being a "Muzz" can.

Idaho Wolverine · 09-22-2007, 02:31 PM

No welding. My end caps are held in place by screws. Some pipes are rivited, some are screw'd. Stock pipes are almost alwase welded though.

Give it a shot, good luck!

Rwvaulter · 09-24-2007, 03:23 PM

i just got mu extra exaust out of storage i will give it a try soon. will this effect my back pressure too much

Idaho Wolverine · 09-24-2007, 03:37 PM

I did not notice any loss of performance. It already flowed really well before I cut it. So I dont see it being too much different.

2wheelsdown · 09-24-2007, 04:47 PM

The Muzzy pipes you have, you will need repack them or they will heat up and crack. Just the carbon fiber ones will do this.

Idaho Wolverine · 09-24-2007, 07:32 PM

I still have the other half of the packing to use when this half blows out. Good call though. Other people might not think about that.

I have 2 of those pipes on my bike so I really don't want to screw them up. Cost to much. The told me that advice down at Carl's Cycle.

One of the guys asked about cutting a pipe and I had to put one of my old pics up.
The link for the sound clip is gone, but here is the pic I still have.

Kinda wish I still had the FZ1......
