Title: Cutting Carbon Fiber Termi Exhaust
Post by: TitanMonsterS4R on November 26, 2010, 10:51:09 AM
Has anyone cut carbon fiber and if so how'd you do it?

Looking to cut my carbon fiber exhaust but want to make sure I don't damage the Termi cans after they are cut.  Not sure how easily it can be done.

Recommendations or tips are greatly appreciated.

I cut mine down about a year ago with a dremel. Here are a bunch of pics.

When you are cutting make sure you wear long sleeves, gloves, safety glasses and a respirator. If you get it on you get it on you it itches like a MOFO, DAMHIK.

Good luck!! [thumbsup]

Before you cut, confirm that it will work.

Some CF cans are slightly larger on the ends, so if you cut them the endcap won't fit.

put something around the pipe sleeve like 3m green auto tape to prevent the carbon from fraying while cutting.
