Cut exhaust pipe
 

I have just bought a nice new exhaust from the good people at "FUEL" question is:


Is a normal hacksaw up to the job of cutting the existing pipe, if not what should I use, obviously I am crap at DIY but will give it a go.

I used a junior haksaw to cut mine. If you have just bought it, why didn't you get one already stubbied from them????

He's not asking about stubbying it, just about cutting the original pipe off, if my interpretation is correct.

I used a haxsaw to cut mine, it will do the job OK, its just takes a little while.

An angle grinder will cut it much faster if you have access to one of those, but whatever you do put something over your swingarm and wheel to keep the sparks off of it.

Remember measure twice, cut once.

yes your right, I want it to cut off the existing one and replace with the new, I will buy a Jr hacksaw tonight - wish me luck:smt019

Hacksaw used on mine as well to fit Renegade high level. Not that hard.

Hacksaw will do, just keep an eye out for background cutting if you are doing it on the bike.

oops, my mistake.

buy good blades! at first it seems like it ain't going to cut but it will go eventually, i went the angle grinder route and in 2ticks it was off hehe :)

I def won't use an angle grinder otherwise the bike will end up in half:p

On a seperate note, I have my bike going in for service on Thursday but since I have fitted the full race ferring, I am not sure they are going to be able to drain the oil with the existing ferring on as it goes right underneath to form a belly pan, think that will cost me loads:confused:
