very nice, i did the same thing only i went even shorter/louder

 

Looks better! I'm about to do this with my R6S. Where did you purchase the new rivets?

 

Hardware store has them. Home Depot, ace hardware, lowes, etc.

i work at a shop so we just had them laying around... im sure you could find them at a hardware store, harbor freight, home depot etc

youll need a rivet gun to install the rivets, harbor freight has the best deal, especially since youll probly only use it on this.

 

Yup we just had them laying around, they looks so close to stock it isnt even funny

 

Very good work my friend...

That stuff stunk like crazy but it was worth it, getting the exhaust tip back on was ten bitches on a bitch boat but we got it done.

:bowroll I can imagine..

 

Sorry for bringing back an old thread but I'm going to be doing this to my exhaust tomorrow, I've seen other post about it but the inside of my exhaust looks more like this one than the others with 4 tubes running inside of it. My question is did you take out that nasty packaging inside the exhaust or did you just cut the exhaust back and leave it in? If the latter, what would happen if I cut mine back 7-8 inches and also remove the packaging from inside?

 

I'd keep as much packing in as possible. Better tuning that way, unless you want it stupid loud.

 

Cool thanks for the heads up man

 

You know the riceburner civics with the exhaust that sounds like an empty tin can and sounds awful? Yea leave the packing in there, you will enjoy it more

 

Yeah I just finished it earlier, took me about an hour from start to finish! Just took the sawzall and left about an inch of the canister from the hanger and put the new rivets in. Gotta say sounds 10x more sexier!!! The sound is about 3x louder and deeper. Just make sure you have some good drill bits for this as they will break or lose their point, had 3 new bits but we're the cheap kind so went through all 3 of them to get all the old rivets off

Here's a hot tip for drilling anything steel

-GO SLOW- and it wont blunt/ dull your drill bit anywhere near as fast

 

I got rid of my midpipe and mounted up a shortened 08+ stock can.
I really like the look.

 

I cut mine as short as possible while retaining the original hanger. Sounds MUCH better. Looks a lot better too without that water heater looking thing hanging off the bike.

 

Nice job! Did you re tuned the carb after installation? Post some sound clips if you may.
