Stubbied Akrapovic
 

I bought a damaged Akrapovic can at the weekend with the intention of swopping it for the identical one on my CBR600 trackbike. But, when I put the nice Akra on my SV it was way too long. So I chopped 5 inches off the front (damaged) end and tomorrow I'll go have a new band fitted by Mark Hill at MHP in Stevenage. I took some pics just to see what it will look like _ I think it looks pretty good

How much I cut off, you can see the damage bit on the right

Looks good mate! It is Titanium? and was it difficult to cut? Just curious!

Re: Stubbied Akrapovic
 

Was a doddle to cut with a 4 1/2 inch cutting disc. I then cleaned the cut edge with my Dremel fitted with an emery linishing wheel. It makes loads of sparks when it's being cut and a very bright spot appears, almost like the point of penetration when Mig welding steel, that makes it difficult to see the line you're cutting to, so I re-marked it in marker pen.

You made it bleed and squeal - cruel Lozzo :smt084

Nice job , Looks Ravishing :D

Re: Stubbied Akrapovic
 

Serious Lozzo come and sort my beast out on my bike and make it squeal like that, I want a ikle can like you ... we could have matching cans !!!

Re: Stubbied Akrapovic
 

I could do, but it's such a shame to chop a nice new and good condition can like this. It's always worth doing to a damaged one that's worth buttons, but not to a good one.

That's why i cut my akra down, i took just under 7 inches off mine though 8-)
