Shortening a Yoshimura RS-5 Pipe

[lil_shane84]

EDIT:

i ordered a carbon fiber yoshimura RS-5, i plan to shorten it 4 or 5 inches, the end cap is rivited on.

looking for input or advice on cutting the Carbon Fiber, is it same as cutting metal? is anything special that i should do?

[dallas]

looking to shorten my pipe when it comes, heres a link to the thread. i thought i would post it in the local forum too so if i need help its more convienient

I'm just saying............

It sounds like a really easy job since most Yosh's come with a rivited end cap. The only concern would be if the pipe for some reason wasn't a straight through design and had some sort of baffle system in there, then it would be tricky, but still do-able.....

[Sully]

oohh my bad, he's a Southie, that explains it ! I'm just sayin.....

[dallas]

Don't be hatin' on Southies........your just jelousy because you aren't one............

[Mental]

Oh hell NO. Did a Northie come in here and satrt trying to regulate SoCo?!?! Even a northie on good terms with SoCo?

Do we go up in yer fancie Martha Stewart northie threads and ask if they could be less gay? No. Becuase A, we already know the answer, a northie thread can always be less gay, as you routinely max out your gayness. and 2, becuase we stay in our place. This is why they have regional forums. Girlie, yer looking to get an old fashion electronic beat down! Since I can't do it, I ain't afraid to go running to the SoCo momma and tell on you!

KRISSY!!!!! SULLY'S BEING A GAY NORTHIE IN SOCO!!!!

You either use a fine tooth hacksaw, a Dremel tool with an abrasive cutting wheel, side grinder with abrasive cutting wheel or a tile saw. I would measure everything at least twice, find out exactly where you want to make the cut, then wrap it with masking tape. Once your cut area is prepped, I would make a test cut on a portion of the pipe you want cut off.

I would recomend the side grinder with an abrasive cutting disk option, and use the thinnest cutting disk you can find.
