But the silencer is longer than the stinger, so it would have to change, right? Maybe it's difficult to tell from the pictures, but the stinger really isn't very long at all, I wouldn't call it any more than 6-7 inches. Are there silencers to be had that could be attached but maintain a tuned length that short? That's not a rhetorical question, I just don't remember seeing one that short. I'd also be very afraid of messing up. I mean, if I try cutting up the pipe and something goes wrong in some way, then I'm out one very hard-to-find pipe. I'd like to see the bike be less annoying to those who decide to go hiking in a riding park, but if it means making a permanent change to something irreplaceable, I don't know if I could bring myself to do it.
Then again, if something goes wrong it might be possible to re-weld the stinger back on, if it comes to that. I'll keep the idea in mind.
