[03 ORANGE SHEE]

i cut 4 1/2 inch off the muffler tube
then matched that with the middle section, re-drilled rivet holes
looks cleaner and better than a stock one, whatca think??
now comes the fun part, polishing for hours

I have seen that done before just not on a tri-Z. I was in Oklahoma at the little sahara and a guy on a brand new GasGas, the 2 stroke one, stopped to talk and he showed me his silencer and told me that he cut it down like that for more performance. Real neat!

I thought of doing the same thing.I don't think I will go that short though.Let me know how much louder it makes it?

Whats is it again, shorter for more top end power and vise versa?

Did Ronnie give you that idea?

I tried that but the tube that the packing wraps around needs that washer type thing on the end of it to keep it from fopping around inside, and the part I cut off was so nasty with oil there wasnt much of a way to weld or braze it onto the new shorter piece. I ended up hauling the pieces back up to the barn I think.

On a 2 stroke shorter is more bottom end, and longer is mor topend. For a thumper its the other way.

The Only Problem With That Is It Helps Loos Ethe Bottome End A Bit And Make Sit Snap Harder When You Come Into The Powerband.

Question about this little trick. Does the round pipe looking piece the packing wraps around need to be longer then the section its inside of? ...to fit into the endcap I mean.

I'm doing this tomorrow. Guess I'll cut the outside with the mini grinder instead of the whole thing with the chopsaw. Those silencers weigh a good bit.

yes, it needs to be cut about an inch longer than the outside canister
