Gutting 848 cans

so firstly I drilled out the pop rivets
that hold the outer cover on



then with the outer cover removed I then use a dremel to cut the end spout
off the inner baffle pipe


now that I have removed this you can see another restricting baffle
that goes from the end spout to in inner baffle pipe



again the drill and dremel comes to the rescue to remove this.

so now this is all the parts you are left with now that the can has been fully gutted



the baffle inner pipe(which weighs a ton) can now be thrown in the bin...look at all that restriction



and this is what the can looks like with all that rubbish taken out(note the smaller inner pipe where the cat used to be)



for lagging I seen this stuff
that apparently a lot of the bike makers use now seeing its so good.



a small net holds it all in place then the heat of the exhaust melts the net allowing
it to expand and fill every inch of the can with a real nice tight fit.

so now I use 2.5" perforated tube for the internal of the exhaust,
the end cap is 2.5" oval so I oval the end of the tube using a vice
and this makes it a perfect fit.with the cat removed the house for
the cat is a nice tight fit for the perforated tube to slide into.
a couple of spot welds in the end cap and the perforated tube isnt
moving anywhere.
this is how it looks



now its just a case of wrapping the tube in the new lagging
which I got next day delivery



then pop rivet it all back together.
so now when you look in the end pipe you see this



sorted, now you have some phantom brand cans

 

cheers

 

Ah I rem you doing that, did you never get them fitted yet?

 

thats where I was lucky, I worked in an engineering place at that
stage so done it all in work.....and picked up wages while I did it, win win lol
