Shorten an exhaust pipe...

[Troy]

I’m trying to do some research in advance for a new slip-on for my bike.

 

 

Looking at pictures like this above and cross referencing them with others who have actually got the same exhaust, the exhaust tip sticks out about 2-3”. It looks ugly in my opinion.

Can I shorten the exhaust PIPE (not the exhaust “box”) by cutting out 2 inches and join the two sections together without welding? Is there a universal clamp of some description I can use?...

Will the above item in the link allow me join two sections of pipe?

Might not be a good idea as you could melt or at the very least discolour your rear light lens

looks fine , pointless excercise, just my opinion. needs a tail tidy , original looks ugly

You will never make TOTY by helping people you know

Thank you for the replies. I hadn’t considered that maybe shortening the pipe could potentially cause some melting issues.

It’s also interesting to know that some of you feel it looks okay as it is.

Looking at other brands of aftermarket exhausts, they all seem to have this same image of protruding out a little on this bike. I’m no expert but there’s obviously a good reason for why it does.

Maybe I’ll learn to like it

See if there is a carbon fibre cover or something that can go on if you are not keen on the shiny look, it might help disguise it

I didn’t think but there is a lot of shortening on the YouTube
