chopping silincers?

[liquedfire]

what does chopping your silincers do for the performance of your bike

[broke]

"Probably" not much more than make it louder. Ask Loco, he did a very clean job on his.

Seems like more throttle responce. You will have to rejet it.

 

Sounds pretty cool, I cut the silencer in half and gutted the hole thing, then welded it back together.

 

That was awhile ago, now I have some toomeys. Good luck.

i cut my rocket silencers 2.5" for the sole purpose of making them look better. they were too long. i didnt notice any noise level change but i think it made it a little bit snappier. how much are you wanting to cut off of yours? if you are talking 2 inches then no rejet is going to be needed and even if you cut them in half im very doubtful its gonna change much. if you have a silencer thats got one end just riveted on you can drill the rivets out, cut everything down, re assemble, drill new holes and put some small screws in. its a pretty simple process. just remember however much you cut off the outside is how much you have to cut off the inside tube...

i cut 2 inch off my rockets like loco did. they are way to long if wheelied and hit the grab bar it probably would have hit the silencers.

 

i would recommend a band saw instead of a chop saw like i did hard to get a nice cut on a chopsaw.
