350BANSHEE350 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 if you ask me it might sound a little louder just remember dont cut before the mount point or it will not work anymore anything after where it mounts can be cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shee rips Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 if you ask me it might sound a little louderjust remember dont cut before the mount point or it will not work anymore anything after where it mounts can be cut i just mean to shorten the silencer can. i have seen a couple people on here with it done but i figured it would be easier and get more of a response than sending pms to a couple people.

flotek Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 its a little louder mostly just deeper toned ,in theory it will aid in lowend response and torque i just sold mine to a friend on here but heres a pic of mine i cut 3.5 inches off of the m,a good mod they really look much cleaner and better once mounted .

inthemail Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 im gonna do this with my powercore II's i was just wondering the same thing. i knew it would give me better lowend and THAT is what im goin for. shee motors are highsped anyway they like the revs. might as well gain where it aint got. it still makes a difference in overall power no matter what. giver. good excuse to repack too.

87_shee Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I wonder if i could do this with my fmf turbine cores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanv10 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I bought flowteks cut silencers they look great if you want me to take some picks or measurements i can get some. I installed them and they looked great i couldn't imagine what they would look like at full length and they are Loud, but the only other setup i had heard is stock.

bbcmudtruck Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 So did you drill the rivets out of the end of the can and take the 3.5" off of that end? Is there really anything else to it? My silencers are a little beat up towards the end, it would be great if I could cut that end off. Thanks for you help, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zach45 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 should take off the ther end so it still fits the mounts on the bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inthemail Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 here ya'll go. 2 cut powercore II's the stingers are cut off because they were jimmy welded in the first place. im gonna rebend and weld some new ones once the bikes more togeather.gonna PC the end caps too. measure the part you removed to determine how much core to remove finished silencers, unpacked unpolished. raw shortened shittyness. itll be better when i get around to it i removed a total of 4.5 inches per silencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Bump for a cool topic, any one else doin this now adays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 well, i'm not sure on anything other than fmf silencers, since they are not tuned to a specific pipe, but other silencers controll the pipes' efficiency, so cutting it will change that, and most likely not for the better.....but, i have always felt fmf's downfall is their "wide range" silencer selection anyway, and have personally seen gains in changing them out for toomy silencers, which are indeed shorter and smaller.......would be nice to bring the pics back to this thread, though......
