first cut the carbon then drilled out the rivets and removed the end cap.  then cut the stuff inside with a utility knife.  now put the cap back on.  happy shorter pipes...

LMAO. My nipples are hard too.  Bike sounds good [thumbsup]
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.

Good job.They look beautiful!



I still have the stock exhaust on my bike and it will be awhile before I spend the money on a set of termis... but I might do this in the mean time to the stock exhaust just to get rid of the "boat-anchor-look" of the giant stock pipes. Would this be possible on the stock pipes?

........ the stock pipes do not have an end cap... so it would be pretty hard to do a "clean" job.

I guess I just answered my own question.

What is inside the stock pipes? If I got a welder to weld the end back on, would it be possible with the stock pipes?

Pretty easy to do, and I highly recommend it.  I did it to mine and they sound almost as loud as aftermarket pipes.  I cut 5" off my stock pipes.  There are some good how-to threads here.  Isn't too hard.
