im making my pipe a shorty and the insulation inside is all black and worn out,can i repack it with house insulation or not?

 

yup

pink panther or whatever they sell at lowes is what i use in mine. lasts forever

or take it from your mommas attic

 

haha thats funny cuz thats what i did i crawled up there and got a few hand fulls of it and took it to the car port...i took only about 4 inchs off of my D&D pipe and to tell you the truth my bike sounds great now,D&D's are loud as hell and kind of noisey but now mines not at noisey and it sounds a lot deeper and meaner it rocks :YEAH

 

How'd you cut it off and bolt the tip back on??

I wanna cut mine down, it's stock and I just scrape it.

 

on the stock gixxer can you need to cut the baffle in half, take off what ever material you need then spot weld it back together, cut off excess can material the bolt the tip back on.... or you can use little "L" brackets and pop rivit it back in from the sides.... the stock gixxer can is a bitch to open up because the aluminum case is rolled down around the end, you need to get a screw driver and pry the rolled edge up and then use pliers to straiten the edge out before you can pull the baffle out.... good luck....

oh and leave the fiberglass packin' out when you put it back together.... it sounds mean as hell with out being really loud....

 

mine was a carbon fiber pipe at i cut it at the bottom where the carbon fiber broke loose from the rivets..ill get pics soon
