Shorty Cans

[RUSS M8]

Hi guys, just a few quick questions about sorting a shorty muffler.
My Bandit currently looks like this:

I reckon a shorter muffler then hacking all that ugly plastic off the back would be a big improvement...

What is involved in going short? I have never had a muffler apart, don't know how to do it. And if I lop 100mm off the thing, how much louder would it be???

Just thinking out loud here...
Any advice apprecialted!

i did hte standard can on my 954, i drilled out the pop rivets on the end cap, then hacksawed the outer skin to how long i wanted and then used a quick cut saw on the baffle. it was about 12 inches long, bloody loud and looked awesome :) but then again it was a massive amount taken off the stock can, it was around 1/3rd the size of a stocko

If you want to play around before hacking into yours we still have the wifes old can. It was on an 'onda but it is from summat else (not sure what)
Interested ? Let me know and I'll find a pic. (its got the 3 bolt flange thing on)

hi what i did is bought a secound hand aftermarket pipe from the wrecker for $80 then made that into a shorty can you have to get one with rivets in it so you can drill them out. i just followed the post in the how to on the main street fighter page.
