I promise! really! i did!

I tried searching (honest!) ...but everyone recommends the dremel for cutting off the exhaust - but not which attatchment/wheel to use. (thats was a question ) i looked in b&q and there was a set of metal cutting wheels for £20 (their homebrand-basics-angle grinder was £16 including a disc) and i'm just wanting to buy the right set. I don't think i could ride back to b&q with an exhaust hanging off.
Its going to be a CCC oval stubby, in full titanium and a 60mm bore! woo! my budget was about £80 less than i spent i hope aftermarket exhausts are as good as everyone says

Thats all I used. I think I got a cutting disc though - the thinner one, and used a haxsaw to do the last little cut as I couldnt get the grinder all the way around the pipe.

brilliant thanks! did you only need the one? i used one just cutting a bolt the other day.

What a blade off the angle grinder?? They last forever - you will only need one.

If you have an angle grinder that is the quickest/simplest way to do it. Preferably take the exhaust off the bike to do so, or take preventative measures so the sparks don’t shower/damage the bike.

It must take ages with a dremel?

Pffhhh fancy power tools...
All you need is a decent hacksaw... 10 mins and job ws done- did mine yesterday..with my new scorpion can (NEC show bargain)

i managed! tried all 2 techniques. Hacksaw- just a pain. Dremel - pretty good, but need the reinforced heavy duty (426 maybe?) discs - and a few. Angle grinder - really good - but can't do the last quarter due to space. I ended up using the angle grinder to do the most, then the dremel to finish it- and a big twist to get the last cm!!


look at that 60mm bore!

It looks amazing- haven't got round to taking the baffle out. But its fully titainium, shortened, and got a 60mm bore. I have a feeling that the neighbours won't be pleased. I have a video of it with no exhaust -Jesus! Theres no way to get across how loud that was- painful!

Any comments on it would be appreciated (aside from the fact i have a snow shovel still )

damn- the baffle fell out

lol likewise the same happened to mine- strange brand new exhausts...and the baffles just "fall" out

[pmapp]

They do sound nice with the baffle out for blurting around town. But as soon as you get it opened up on the motorway it sson becomes a brain numbing drone.

I used a hacksaw, and as said above - done in 10 mins.

Enjoy
