:twisted: Ok i took my stock exhaust pipe off couple days ago to clean up the bike and so i took it for a rip.. man did i fall in love.. so i wanna take apart the stock exhaust, and straight pipe it through...so my question is how to take apart the pipe?... do i just pop the rivets and go hard or is their a trick i don't know of.. ? sry for the stupid question :stupic

You could try it but I'd recommend getting a new aftermarket can (like Micron, Akrapovic, etc.) . the sound will probably turn out pretty bad compared to an aftermarket & also you'd probably loose HP ?

Plus the hassle of pulling it apart & trying to find bits to go in wouldn't be worth it IMO.

I have heard a 99 R6 with a gutted out pipe. Was not pleasing. Image a D&D pipe crossed with a Hoda civic with a 3" muffler.

I have also heard running the motor without an end can could cause valve issues. The motor needs more back pressure than just straight header.

Oh, almost forgot, welcome to the board.
