Default Shortning The Silencer(What Affect Does It Have)

I was wondering if shortning the silencer to be real short would change the performance of the pipe in a good or bad way. Were at in the perf. does it increase HP at( IF ANY) top, mid, or bottom. Thanks Slim

I am getting a shorty pipe made for top end from thunder alley, the usual pipe is 12" long and mine will be 8" long, only diffrence might be the topend but it will deffenitley be louder, but to me they just look cool as hell...

The diffrence is very minimal but mainley for the looks department..

if anything changed performance wise i would say that it would be picking up a lil on top.....

and they WILL be loud.....


my friend just put a gt thunder pipe on his 416 ex and it is just as loud as my sparks pipe on my raptor......

he used to have a yoshi on there and it wasn't anywhere near as loud.....

I'm thinking of shortning mine about half of what it is and putting a bigger solid outlet pipe thrugh what will be left of the can to let the exhaust ecscape a little faster; the peice that goes though it now has a wider part at the end that connects to were the can starts that comes off the header and narrows down smaller after that to the outlet of the can were the exhaust exits. I want to keep the soild piece the bigger size all the way to were the exhaust exits. I'm mainly interested in picking up a little more top end and I'm thinking this will be a simple way of doing so.

AND ANOTHER THING THE CORE IS 3" IN DIAMETER(oPENING WHERE THE SILINCER STARTS) SO THAT IS HUGE AND BIGGER THEN ANY AFTERMARKET PIPE MAKER.. THEY USE THE REVERSE MEGA PHONE DESIGN, I THINK THATS THE BEST STYLE OF PIPE..jmo
