Very cool look!

Can you describe the difference? (sound, fueling, does it run like before)

sound is deeper but not obnoxious and the fueling seems to still be fine...as far running any diff i have not felt anything out of the ordinary

looks really nice  [thumbsup]. what size did you cut to? any problems putting back the tips?


grandpa nate

getting the tips back on was actually the most difficult part.  LIGHT taps with a REALLY soft rubber mallet and some patience did the job though.  they are cut 7" from the base of the end cap.   at first i was a little nervous about how short they were before i put the caps back o, but once they were all together i was very happy. 

might do a vid so you all can here them.  IMO they didn't sound as good as my old termis on my 99 900. now much happier with the deeper sound.

seriously once you get over the fact that you are cutting some waaaaaaaaay expensive pipes, it's kinda fun.

Nice. [evil]  I like the white raised letters on the tires.  [thumbsup]
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

So did you just cut straight through the cans and rivet the caps back on, or is there more involved in this?  I've thought of doing this since my pipes seem a bit long now that I've chopped the tail.


I agree with everyone else, it looks like  [bacon]
Some people are like slinky's.  They serve absolutely no purpose, but they always bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
