Hey Nero

Were your oval termi's just a perforated mid pipe with wrapping around it? Did u take any pics of the cans whilst they were apart? Ive got non race termi's which are slightly different, so I just wanted to find out what's inside the normal ones so i can "fix" them  Wink

Thanks mate

Duke8 yeh its just a perforated mid pipe with wadding around it when cutting the can use tape along the cut line and the finest cutting disc you can find don't use a saw it'll just make mess of the carbon fibre.

I chopped my Termis before I even put them on. Love them.

I'm planning to do some chopping too. In the past of have used a chop saw with a metal blade for the regular monster pipes. I would like to use it again because you get a nice square cut but I'm worried about the edge of the carbon getting rough. Is there anyone out there that used a chop saw that can comment on how clean of a cut it makes?

I have a blade like this http://www.amazon.com/DeWalt-DW8057-12-Inch-64-Inch-Cutting/dp/tech-data/B003VWI1JQ

Thanks

Hmmm... I used a bandsaw. But re: the carbon fraying, it will a little bit. Not to worry though, you can cut/sand the edge if you need to and no one can see it because it's under the end cap/tip.

I used a tile wet saw.   Very clean (no teeth) and the water catches most of the carbon dust.  I also used a shop vac pointed at the rear of the blade.  Of course, I used a respirator mask too.

I had boomtubes on for a year (loved the way the bike looked), but I missed the deep rumble. Boomtubes sort of scream (and I had the "quietest" ones). I got the inspiration from a couple of threads here, and I decided to jet-hot and cut my termis. Just the end result (4" off):


And the rumble is back... Next: probably the rearsets...
