If it's toughened then it will almost certainly 99.99% explode into a million bits. Even with a diamond cutter.

Laminated should be ok if you do a cut accutarly on both sides andthen carefuly break and cut the membrane layer.

Plate. Simple enough to cut but I would not want it in any car I was driving.

Chatting to my mate last night and he said that autowindscreens will cut any shape windscreen providing you can give them a template.....unsure of price but could work out cheaper than hassle and hospital appointments

If you want toughened glass and its a flat panel then make a template and take it to a glazier.I had one made for my boat for next to nothing. Toughened glass will always have a kite mark or manufacturers mark and is heat treated(tempered) after cutting and edge grinding. Dont even consider trying to cut it.

Gonna start getting ready for this summer now and first thing I am going to look at is a home brew version of a 3" straight through cherry bomb using stainless wool instead of the traditional glasspack.
there is only 1/4" between the inner core and outer body this is due to the heat shield I have being only just under 4" dia so everything has to be quite compact, you will see what I mean over the next few days

the raw materials

Looks interesting!

Just to warn you, I packed my exhuast with wire wool to get through IVA and it disintegrated into dust after a few hours of driving!
