Cutting down a Yoshimura muffler?
I have an RF900R Suzuki, and the Yoshi can is badly dented near the back end. I figure I could drill out the rivets, cut off the last 6" or so off the can and baffle, and re-attach the end plate.
Anybody try this on a sport bike? If so (and only if you have actual knowledge -- no guesses from squids, OK?), did it become obnoxiously loud? Were there other problems (with performance)? I'm not worried about mounting.
Lastly, is there a shorter 3-hole muffler that would work (in case I screw it all up)? URL, if you have it. Thanks.
Added:
1) I do have a stock muffler, but it's so ridiculously heavy, and it is huge -- bad for back-seater's leg to clear.
2) Bike is set up for Yoshi (full-length) as it is.
