  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

TE449 Decat

I have a 2013 TE449. What is the procedure to decat the stock muffler? I would consider a FMF slip on muffler, but prefer to keep it quite enough for the woods and nearby homes.

Thanks.
 
Drill out the rivets on the part closest to the pipe and then it comes apart. Then with a cut off wheel or sawzall cut the cat off. Rivet it back together.

Its annoying and takes longer than you want but its not that hard.
 
Actually someone said that using a holesaw in the center was easier than slicing it off (which was my method) with sawzall.
 
I found using a saws all on the pipe was fairly easy. The trick was to move the inner shield out of the was so you are cutting beside the weld not thru it.

I used a 4" grinder to remove the 4 welds holding the (for lack of a better word) the inner baffle to the cat. Once that was out of the way cutting the cat out was a five minute deal with an 18 TPI metal blade with the sawzall. I then used red gasket maker and reinstalled the pipe side baffle and popped in some new rivets and it was good to go.
