Chopped 2013 muffler

[desertbound1024]

I'm sure there is a thread on this, but today I decided to chop the muffler on my 2013 fz8. It turned out better than I thought and sounds great in my opinion. Very deep and no drone on the freeway, but still loud enough to be noticed. Also it looks much better than it originally did.

Sorry for the picture quality, iPhone camera is acting up
And for those wondering I chopped 4.5" off which got rid of the last block off plate/baffle

Looks beautiful, really nice. Can you tell us how you did it?

All you have to do is drill out the rivers that hold the end cap on. Pop the end cap off, measure back anywhere between 4.5-6" to keep all the other baffles, cut it (I used a chop saw), file down where you cut, slide end cap back on, drill out where the rivets go (3/16") and bam your done

If you have more questions I can take pics and give more info.

I'd love to hear how the sound is compared to a aftermarket option, like a Yoshi or V&H or Two Brothers

I can get a sound clip. To me it sounds perfect. Very throaty down low and screams up top

You slide the end cap back on, then drill out where the rivets go? How does the end cap stay on?

You put new rivots in the holes the old ones were in...
