Rocket silencers

[Mxzdan]

I got some rocket pipes and I saw some shorty silencers so I want to cut a few inches off of them and put the endcap back .

 

I think it looks cool but what does it do and is it worth it?

 

Thanks

Ask Locogato, he did it to his rockets.

use a band saw adn cut like 2-3 inchs out.

 

and then roughly line the cap back on adn mark the holes adn drill them out adn rivet them.

 

they silencers were way too long to begin with.

cut silencers are supposed to give ya some bottom end , atleast thats what the 2 stroke mx guys say ..... lol and they're considerably louder too!!, ya they do look a hell of alot better too.

i cut about 3 inches out of mine. you need to drill the rivets out of the end cap and pull it out. then pull the inner tube out and the silencer packing. then go ahead and cut the silencer. you need to make sure they are cut as square as possible or the end cap wont sit right in there. once you have the silencer cut youll have to cut the inside tube the same amount. clean off any burrs off of both tubes. then just drill some new holes on the silencer body. put ur tube and packing back in and reinstall the endcap.

 

i did notice a bottom end gain by doin this. plus it sounds better and looks better. those silencers are too long to begin with.

I did mine as well and I like them alot better they were just too long. I wish they were a smaller diameter as well.
