You cut the standard pipework right down at the bottom, just behind the weld- then, the can has a linkpipe that attaches to there. You don't really have an awful lot of choice as to where to cut it, to be honest.

Get a strip of ply wood to protect your swing arm that way you won't scratch it

So the new cans come with a link pipe? does than mean Ill be left with like 2 or 3 inches of original link pipe and an original can with about 8 inches of pipe sticking out of it?

Basically yes.

You should get two link pipes. One pipe you use to fit the new can to the bike with and another link pipe that you can use to refit the standard exhaust back to the bike should you wish to.

You usually cut about 2in from the weld!!!!!!!
