rawlins87 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Thats cool, didn't know you could just cut a muffler in half. How loud is it now?Most street mufflers are just riveted together...off-road mufflers usually just with set screws...gotta be able to repack the fiberglass.

Gixxus Christ! Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 What did you use to cut it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawlins87 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 What did you use to cut it?Would have liked to use a band saw, but used a chop saw a sander/file and a cutoff wheel (inside pipe needed to.be 1" shorter than casing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapesmuggler27 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Why cut it? What's the benefits? What's loss? I'm just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTM Brian Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Most guys want their shit longer. Making this shorter goes against all MAN rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVTPilot Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I had to do the same to the can on my gixxer. The Can tip went all the way back to the end of the wheel. Plus there was some battle damage I was able to cut out. I have a tri oval aluminum can to do the same thing to, but may not go quite as short.Yours is uber short, but looks nice and clean! Kudos!

JStump Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I kinda want to do this to mine but mine is riveted together. Can you put the rivets out and replace them screws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I kinda want to do this to mine but mine is riveted together. Can you put the rivets out and replace them screws?What you do is use rivets again. Take the outlet cap and slide into the sleeve but allow the holes for the rivets in the cap to be exposed. Mark the holes once lined up. Measure in the required depth and drill them out. Use new STAINLESS rivets when ready! You are done.It is really that easy. I am working on a little project with the RC8's Akrapovic muffler... Yes, I am gonna cut a $1500 muffler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawlins87 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 ^exactly rivets are cheap. Drill the old ones out and put new ones it.Replaced mine with stainless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStump Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Actually, just looked and there aren't rivets or screws, I don't know how it is held together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
