Shorten Exhaust Can?
 

I recently purchased a '03 SH and am making a few changes (manual cct, superbike bars, sport touring shield, etc). It has stock exhaust and I would like the cans to be shorter. I have the tools and tig knowledge. Is there any reason it can't be done?

Thanks,

it will change the flow of the carbs and will be louder, other than that.....tig away

Nah...it can be done. I say do it then post a bunch of pics. :)

Mine are 11'' low mounts now.. vs the 18'' they used to be.

Louder... I love 'em.. pisses off my neighbor, too.. ++... :crackup:

arn't there cans you can shorten without tig welding?

i shortened my remus ti high mounts...took em off hacked them off riveted them back on. looks/sounds great!

Yeah but the stock cans are all one piece, they're not meant to come apart like aftermarket cans.

What cans are those fishface?

They look like ART cans to me (or maybe Scorpion).
