HAS ANYONE EVER THOUGHT OF CUTTING OUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER OUT OF THE PIPES TO RELEASE SOME EXTRA POWER OUT OF THE BIKE. A GUY LOCAL TO ME IN THE U.K MADE MY CARBON FIBRE END CAN AND LINK PIPE. REALY CHEAP I MUST SAY HE SAID TO ME CUT OUT THE CAT FROM THE PIPES AFTER THAT HE SAID TO GET A POWER COMANDER GET IT ON A DYNO TO SET IT UP. AND THATS THE BEST WAY OF DOING IT.

Well I didn't even know they had cats on them. But sounds like your local guy is right. If you remove a cat then you'll need the PCIII and a good map. Does your bike have an O2 sensor also?

MY BIKE IS A PARALEL IMPORT FROM BELGIUM I THINK AND HAS A CAT ON IT AND AN EXHAUST VALVE WHICH WAS ON THE LINK PIPE NOW REMOVED FOR THE NEW CAN, AND I THINK IT ALSO HAS A SENSOR FITTED TOO. ALSO HAVE UNDONE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION FOR THE INTAKE FLAPPER. STILL RUNNING THE THE BIKE IN NO FI WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON YET AND IT GOES LIKE A ROCKET.
