stock silencer shortening

[XCRacerwanab29]

what is the stock 400ex silencer made of? is it steel or aluminum? will shortening a stock silencer give me any performance and is it worth doing it? wat is the best way of shortening a silencer?

[atvracr350]

the stock silencer is steel im pretty sure and i doubt you would make any performance gains like that anyway. just maybe a little more noise. why do you want to shorten your stocker when you have a pc t4 anyway?

thanks. i am askin this for a friend. are u sure that you wont get any performance? do you think it is worth it?

not really i dont think its worth it at all.

a lot of work for pretty much nothin.....k&n filter and jetted will give you more power if he doesn't want a pipe. I would just leave it as it is....me and a friend tried to mod his stock pipe, and it didn't give him any power gains...MAYBE a little low end, not anything like a slip-on would give you though. Tell him to get a pipe and he will be much happier;)

You won't get any gains from shortening it. You will get amazing gains if you gut it.

hey yall this is his friend that he was asking the question for. im gettin a jet kit and air filter soon but if i gut the pipe and shorten it, will i be faster?

[jonc623]

the quad may be faster but not nessisarily you just kidding why not just get a good slip on and be happy they are a little louder but a gutted stock whoa way loud
