    Micron. Seriously?

    so i got a new zorst for the 750. a micron gp to be a bit more specific, problem is it has a big dirty cat converter. like come on! who the hell sells an aftermarket exhaust with such a massive paperweight.

    Is there anyone in CHCH who can fabricate me a nifty little mid pipe?

    Or..... fill your headers with fine grain sand, the rev snot out of it, the sand will abrade away much of the converter material. Repeat with coarser and coarser materials....

    How do you buy an exhaust system without noticing it has a CAT on it btw?

    only you or ducatilover could come up with such an ingenious way




    because it only showed the can. the cat kind of hides behind the fairing. two separate pieces. unlike the silly OEM can that thought it would be a good idea to be welded to the cat.

    Surprised it's not a slip on.

    Lots on here have talked about cutting the CAT out.

    Any exhaust specialisit cut it out and weld new pipe where it was.

    Autobend can probably make you what you want but you'd need a sample or a drawing
