on my bike i have a two brothers carbon slip on n its ******* long! i wanna knock about 6 inchs off that thang. i wanna drill out the rivits n cut it down twords the begining of the can so the two brothers sign will be unharmed. i figured id use the dremal tool at a low speed with a cutting wheel to do the carbon can... has any one cut one down before? will this work alright? never done it before n dont wanna destroy a 400 dollar pipe... n when i do cut it down, do you think ill have to do any changes with my pc3? most every one says dont use the pc3 but i do a lot of street riding n it popd alot wout it so...

 

I cut down a d&d before but I cut the end and the d&d name plate is rivited on so I just moved it back and reriivited it back on you cut a carbon fiber can the same as any other can so I don't see you having a problem

 

Hey I have cut probably 5 cans, carbon and alum. I cut my brothers two brothers down just the other day and all it did was get a little louder and looks way better than the 2 ft it was. He didn't have to mess with anything. When I cut the cans I put it in a vice with rags on the teeth so it don't scratch it, then I measure it and put a piece of electrical tape around it and cut it with a hack saw. All the ones I have cut from the inlet side. Just drill your rivets out cut and put the inlet alum. piece where it needs to go drill the new holes and rivet it.

 

i cut my old ish down it was cf i just used masking tape and marked the line on that and used a cutt off wheel and re riveted worked great peace....

 

If you cut the can at the beginning on a two brothers it wont go back together the wright way, cause the can is suppose to come apart at the end cap. To do it the way it should be you need to cut the length off the end of the can and then just rivet the logo back on.

 

Use a chop saw with a carbon blade..


IMO a dremel is gonna **** it up, no way in hell your gonna get a straight cut, and even then, a dremel you'll spend 30 minuetes hacking at that thing..

Then you gotta cut the INSIDE steel.. that'll take another 20 minutes..



chop saw = 100% straight, and about 15 seconds to slice through it

 

I CUT THROUGH THE WELDS THAT HOLDS THE CORE TO THE ENDCAP AND THEN SMACK THEM APART WITH A HAMMER CUT THE CORE THEN SMACK THE ENDCAP BACJK ON THE SHORTER CORE.....DONE 3 LIKE THAT SEEMS TO WORK WELL

 

i cut mine down useing a metal cutting band saw put it in the clamps and let the blade do the rest cuts it perfectly straight

 

anybody know bout the yoshi cans which end is the best to cut down or does it not matter?

 

Yosh cans are a pain, the core has sleeve welded to the end of it that slides inside the end cap, u have to cut it lose from the core and put it back into the shortened core. if that makes sense.
