locogato11283 Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 go ahead. i just cut my rocket silencers 2.5 inches. i dont think i really gained or lost anything but it looks much better. feels like it maybe be a little snappier tho Quote
oldschool98 Posted January 3, 2005 Author Report Posted January 3, 2005 i want to cut them cause they hang way to far out the back im afraid they will get damaged while im riding wheelies besides they r so big! i cut down the silencer on my blaster cause i didnt give a shit about that bike but this one i do and as someone above mentioned i didnt really notice a performance diff just that it was a lil louder so again any more info would help Quote
wesw Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 after see loco pics of his cut silencers i cut mine 2 shorter. looks way better and dont hang almost past the grab bar. fmf shouldnt be hard to do. shouldnt hurt anything also Quote
JARE77 Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 I cut my pc2'S with no problems. It did change the sound of them a little bit,it gave them a throatier sound. Is that a word? Quote
00BANSHEE Posted January 4, 2005 Report Posted January 4, 2005 We cut down some T5 silencers and at the dunes it felt like it had more bottom end power but slowed it down on the top end. He started losing drag races that he was winning before. We switched them out for the stock length silencers and his top end was back. Quote
