Its pretty simple if you have the necessary tools. Just remove the end cap first, next remove as much length of the pipe needed (a bansaw or hand saw will work fine), re-tap the holes for the end cap and put back on. My buddy did it to his HMF and it looks pretty good, he took 6" off it but really can't notice any power difference.

I was going to do it with my stock exhaust but I like how quiet it is.. the T4 will only be used on special ocassions:D

The stocker made into a shorty is loud as no muffler. The shorty will be over 100dbs.
