For those w/ shorty pipes

[TITANIUM JK]

Question for those that have cut their pipes. I cut my D&D pipe several weeks ago and the job went flawless, however, as you may already know the D&D is loud enough as it is, no imagine it half the size.

So I recently got a used TRS off eBay, and last night I proceeded to cut the pipe. Well, I finished the job but had one question. I was unable to get the baffle to accept the cone so as a result there is a gap between the cone and baffle -- does anyone see this as an issue? Will this cause problems ... I'm thinking it would cause negligible issues, but wanted your feedback.

Do you have any pics of this?

I dont think it would cause much of a problem. I love the shorty style exhaust, the sound and the clean look without the rear pegs is sweet.

you need to flange the baffle... as stated in the thread where u got the idea from. dont be a lazy ass, read the pages in the thread. i posted specific instructions and pictures on how to do it. if you did read all the pages you would not have to waste a thread on a topic like this.

i dont mean to sound like a ass but thats just the way it is.

i cut my gf's old hindle that she bunged up on one end from a low side.. its now 15 inches.. had to take like 3 inches out of it to get rid the damage and also flipped the outside to the inside so the smaller scuffs are towards the tire.

I actually read the thread 3 times...

It was near impossible to get the weld spots off of the cone, so I ended up cutting the baffle near the end. When I tried to flange the cone, it wouldn't accept it so as a result there is a gap between the cone and baffle. Not a huge gap, but a gap nonetheless -- could this be problematic?

When I tried starting the bike up, it would only stay running when the choke was on ... is this problem related to the shorty pipe mod?

[stihorsepower]

no its not the pipes fault... if it ran with a crap d&d on it then it will run with a shorty trs. and to get the welds u need a grinder. a tiny gap should NOT affect things as long as its tight in place and is straight and or not rattling its ok i GUESS.
