I got my cat/sub muffler removed and a mid-pipe made up. Looks pretty factory, sounds great and has noticeably more top end power. Crisper throttle response too.

Pics attached. Cost $300 fitted in Auckland. PM me if you want any details.

Quite a few people asked me how I got it done, where and how much at a recent track day at Pukekohe so thought I'd post for those interested.

What did it look like before? My cat looks like a cat that's been swallowed by a python.

It looked a lot like this big horrible and heavy thing:

That is a very neat job.

Was a non-cat tune required?

I had planned to buy a second exhaust as I expect NZ will intruduce compulsory Cats for newer bikes at some time in the future.

I've got a PC3 so downloaded the appropriate map. From what I've heard, it should run fine without one.

I'll amputate my cat when I do this.

Did you use stainless or titanime?

Lovely!
I'd like to do that with my cat, but... it's a bit more complex than that: it has four small headers coming into it and one big mid pipe coming out (see my profile pic).
It's also a pain because it goes under the lower shock linkage, limiting how much rear ride height I can dial in.

It's quite loud without the baffle in the end can but not so loud as to be a problem at track days. With the baffle in it will pass WoF no problems.

Nope. In the interests of this post not being an advertisement, if you'd like the details please PM me. It's a crowd in the motor racing industry.

why not make it one?
if your happy with the job they did why not promote them?
times are tough we need to help and support good shops / suppliers.

This was done on one of the US VFR forums, but I have not been able to find it again.:doh: They also made a Buel type under engine exhaust system.
