How to cut a ridge back to 15"

[transomstand]

Is that a 12" mid? I have a uncut factory 12" ridgeback I would like to quiet down but unlike the 15" mids the exhaust has nowhere else to go...not sure if it will hurt the motor?

20" cut to a 15.

Chaz, that's funny!.... Those boats are even landing nice and soft, no pounding or loss of passengers......
I'm sure you can build the tube mid soooo pretty that it will not need or want anyone covering it up.......

Mr. Tee, You haven't met him yet .. but there's an ol black guy has an auto repar shop around the corner from Monty's place. Been there since he got back from Viet-Nam. He's got a sayin for everything, that put's his finger right on point ..
When I started readin here , it reminded me of a time I was over at his place .. I heard him say .. Yes Ma'am, I be happy to fix yo car. One problem, I can't fix it , an you drive it down the road at the same time .. One or the other gotta stop .. !

Interesting. How effective was it, and if it help's, where can I get them?

Ronnie does an "Old Guy Muffler Option"

It was made when the mid was cut. He had to weld in tabs to attach it. It makes it probably 50% quieter. I took it out for a test once and couldn't wait to get back in and reinstall it, the noise drove me nuts. The bottom of the tuner is nearly even with the exhaust snout opening so without it, it's loud as hell.
