Cat----

[NYCMX]

I pulled out the cat converter in my Strada,was'nt easy.Going for a ride I will check in later.

Can you show us a pic of this feline?

 

[NYCMX]

It looks like a few chunks of concrete. I had to break it up to get it out. Seems to breathe much better,It revs out quicker and cleaned up to low end a little. It is a tiny bit louder,but not loud enough. It runs great in my opinion.

Do you have any spoofer or other fuel delivery mods? Can you give us an updated report of your impressions after you get a chance to run up some more miles? Thanks!

Do you have the Boostaplug or the WK ? The head pipe dumps super hot air on your left leg in the summer. I think that removing the cats would lower the head pipe temp some but I am concerned about getting the bike back into a lean condition. I have a foam air filter on the way and wonder if a freshly serviced foam air filter will bring back the lean spot. I don't think so but knocking out the cat core is a one way street. With the WK set on the cold weather setting the bike runs super but a little more throttle response on the bottom would be sweet.

Can you expand on that?

I've opened up a few Husky cans for myself and others, I found that a deep hole saw in a good drill works wonders on the cats.
Now if I'm going to gut the plate-baffle style cans like on the 630, I just slide the whole core out and chop the end caps off to re-use with some perforated stainless tube.

Someone posted this elsewhere:

Drill holes around the circumference of the honeycomb material. Then switch to a larger drill bit & redrill the holes so they are real close to each other. Then use a long chisel to punch any remaining material between the holes.

You'll get a lot of it out fairly quickly this way. Use the long chisel / screwdriver to scrape the material off the walls. Yes it's tedious but I'd do it again.



Finished.

Yay riveted old-style cans...

H spared little expense in making the TR mufflers, if you tethered one on a chain it would be a deadly weapon. And reusable after many battles.

BTW rww no change on heat around left leg / ankle.

Have you removed your baffles?

I don't know but I doubt he did. I'd be concerned 'bout losing low end torque. As a not-so-good test I suppose you could pull the mufflers & see how it runs though.
