Please don't! That's the beauty of this fantastic exhaust! It sounds quiet when you're driving your Z on the highway or on the road at low rpm, but the moment you open the throttle up, the canisters are bypassed and sounds absolutely exotic. As the RPMs rise, the sound increases. I love every moment with it. It rarely has any drone at any RPM and I have done 4 hour continuous road trip with 0 headache. This exhaust is probably one of the well built and intelligently designed exhaust for 370Z. If you wanted something loud and with straight pipes, there's a Magnaflow exhaust for sale of $800. Sell this HKS and buy one of those. I do not recommend cutting this beautiful exhaust. Just my
