Doing away with the Cat

No not my Fat Cat Bruce

But the Catalytic converter from the exhaust, what's the best way to go about this? buy a new link pipe? where from?

Hey mate, I de-catted my 06 zx10r a few weeks ago, just removed the pipe and used a big screw driver and a hammer working around the edge of the honey comb till it fell out. Took maybe an hour or so start to finish, easy as, just need a bit of patience

.
How did you go with the TRE installation? What do you think?

Put the TRE in on Saturday, was fairly simple and I did the Quick shifter at the same time, I will need to get it Dynoed now so am thinking I should get rid of the Cat and put a PC111 on before I do that

... it's only money

I'm hoping to have the bike at the track on July 28th so will test it all then

So there were no tricky bits in the 'zorst you had to work around? just bash away with a hammer and "chisel"?

I bashed mine out with a screw driver.
Easy as. Stopped it burning the fairings too.

I was going to bash it out like Wattie said. The link pipes are about $160 I think

Do you want me to bring it back for an hour?

I always say there's no going back Paul...so No your generous offer to give my old tracky back to me free of charge is very much appreciated but nonetheless rejected.

How is the old bag of bolts going anyway?...........oh and the bike too
