HI EVERYBODY

i’m Italian and i totally ot, so, when i bought 2 weeks ago my New 848, i couln’t stand the but i didn’t want to spend for an exhaust that let’s the Engine Talk ald Sing, so. at i wanted to cut the can and weld it, there are Mechanichs willing to do that for not too of a price, but then, me and my father to to ourself and with no welding. and i will post the images of the that was little worse what we expected (Open the remove, Put Cap Back On) but not too much than that at the end, is really worse than where the Baffles. i didn’t to find such a system of fumes in the can for noise abating:

LETS GET STARTED

TOOLS

You need a Drill, a Dremel many (a lot) metal wheels, and something to do leverage a Flat Screw Driver.

1) Out the Rivets around the Cap at the end of the Cans, and down the ring that the end of the SlipOn like this:

2) try to pull out the use a screw driver or something to help pulling out the cap. is not a cap, the cap is welded to an internal can goes inside almost all the way to the

If you from the back of the extracted you can see the damn Baffles:

Unfortunatelly there is no way to remove them other cut away the can from the cap

3) With the and the Cutting wheels, cut around the can the cap

The cap has a tube. too little, so you have to it

4) cut the metal around the base of the tube of the cap so there will be the hole visible from the and nothing else as obstacle to the flow

and is how the cap looks from the inside:

5) take the insulation from inside the can you will blow it in the face of while running:

I decided to leave the Cat converter

6) Try to fix the of the can to make it more straight before putting back the cap

if it’s not perfect, is not big deal, the around the cap will cover damages to the can metal

7) push the back in place
