Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Exhaust Short TOR mod?

Any feed back on mods for short TOR's? I've read lots of posts for gutting, baffeling, drilling etc on stock or aftermarket pipes, so I got to looking at my pipes and they look like one long perforated baffel in the centre. I am assuming that they are a glass pack around the baffel?

I don't really like my neighbours so I was thinking of "modding" my pipes. I had an idea of getting some thin wall pipe that just fits in the bafffel to "bypass" some of the glass pack. Or I could try to remove the weld and pull out the baffel, then remove some of the glass pack and reinstall the baffel. Or gut them entirely?

I am looking for someone with experience trying something like this who could point me in the right direction? I don't want to mess up my pipes and have to buy another set. I am assuming as well that since I have "straight" pipes that I shouldn't need to rejet afterwards?

Any help would be great. The critics (aka noise police) can move on to the next thread Thanx.

I have a set of those and in my experience of gutting pipes over the years they looked to me like they could be problematic.A small baffle plate with a short pipe running through isn't bad to remove. A long tube with a few plates could be a problem. Depends what is holing that long tube in.So far I have steered clear of gutting those and wouldn't recommend it as your first venture.

They pop right out with the right combination of force and finess - I can't say I like the sound though - It's kinda like farting in a megaphone. That's just MO. Whatever floats your boat is good.
