Anyone ever cut an exhaust shorter?

[MinhDinh]

A friend's neighbour has a Firebalde and he told me to cut my exhaust down like his so it sounds better. I was just wondering if it affects power and I need to re jet.

I know nothing of mechanics BTW, but my boss has a garage with all the tools to weld and stuff if I choose to do so.

I have a BlueFlame Evo 3

I wouldn't mind a louder sound

Don't need to weld anything. A drill, a hacksaw and a few rivets is all you need.

Often you lose some engine braking too.

I made a "custom" (shorter) for my CG when I first got my welder.

I cut a section out and then welded the two ends back together again.
It worked on the bike but was louder and the bike popped and banged on over-run.

It was only and old gash pipe that I had lying around and I only did it to see if I could

Okay so you can lose top end :o

Not sure if I ever will hit 160 (indicated) that often, but some reason I still want my bloody top end! LOL. I haven't even come close to 160 yet!

I suppose the neighbours will hate the noise, but I work 9-6 so usually only leave and get home at sensible times.

As for the police, quite a few follow me, and I have been stopped twice since I got the bike which is probably late Sept. I guess I don't want to give something that they can do me.

Try not to leave slack in the security chain or leave the lock exposed to hammer blows.

Was tempted to do the same to mine, decided against it as it is loud enough as it is.

Ah I see what you did there.

Very good idea, you are right that it's damn hard to break through a chain and lock that can not be hammered on the ground.

Will have a look in a sec.

I stubbied the Scorpion can on my Blade and found no issues whatsoever and the sound is great.

The good thing with mine is that it still remains quiet sub 5k revs and comes alive above 5k.

Handy when the rozzers are around.

Took me about an hour to do.
