• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Cats out of the 630.

Nice job.
No sparkys in those cans?
I guess I'm gonna have to cut mine open to figure out how to connect the perf pipe to the end cap while retaining the spark arrestor part.
 
I just de-catted mine tonight. Will try it out on the ride to work in the morning. I did the brute force hammer and chisel method through the inlet end. Worked well but it took me longer than I expected 40 min for the first and 20 min for the second. When you do this make sure you chisel the cat into chunks (like pie pieces) before you detach it from the walls. Otherwise it is a pain to get the chunks out when they are larger than the inlet. Cut them smaller first. This ought to make a performance improvement since it appears to remove a fair restriction from the pipes. Cam.

It will be better, but you've still got some small baffle holes and outlet tubes for it to squeeze through...
 
Yeah. Basically no noise difference. This winter I plan to fully gut them and weld in a perforated tube to make them a glass pack silencer. I did notice a difference in power. Full throttle was more of a pull and down low my experimental lean JD tuner settings (green) were worse, far too lean to run right. I added +2 and will try on the way home. Cam.
