Is there a process to gut the stock cans or do i have to have a mechanic do it... My dad is an ex-mechanic so i'm pretty sure he could help me out, but how would that work?

You will not like how they sound - a hollow, annoying fart of a prematurely aborted monster!bluesinged said:

haha i'm not asking because i want other cans... i'm poor, but i've got 2 sets of stock cans so i'll do it to my old ones, see how thye sound and if i like it i'll do it to the new ones.
How much? where? got a link to where you purchased them? Did they just bolt on with no mods, center stand all that still ok, they look great man. I have looked and looked, but i keep hearing about cutting fairings, and center stands not working and having to weld. Thanks for any info you can provide.hollywood said:
Sorry I missed this before - I'm running gutted cans now. If you need any pointers, let me know. If I can I'll try and find the write-up I did on it. I think it may have went down with the old forum, though.
As a side note, everybody on the forums complains that it doesn't sound good (or maybe they're just assuming things), but everyone I ride with and have talked to about it says it's awesome. Off the throttle it's pretty quiet anyway, and when you open it up it sounds like there's a racetrack nearby. I wouldn't say it if I didn't have other people telling me the same thing.

No luck, I've looked everywhere I thought it might be posted. If you still want to pursue this let me know and I'll try to give you some pointers. It basically starts will drilling out the three rivets around the exit end of the muffler and popping out the cap. Then you remove the inner retainer ring that's welded in around the baffle tube. After that you pull out the baffle material and then pull out the actual baffle from the center of the pipe. You can also try it without removing the tube itself. I didn't have that luxury, someone had already mangled one of the tubes trying to gut it themself. I guess they were lazy and gave up, because it wasn't that hard.Nick D said:
