gardnersworld Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hi So I'm not mechanically savvy so was after a bit of advice... I've got a gsxr k7 750 and want to loose the cat of the exhaust, as it weighs a ton and looks ass ugly. I really like the look of the standard exhaust end and don’t really want an aftermarket one. So my thought was to find someone who can chop the cat off and weld a straight through pipe from the downpipe connector to the existing end (see pics for amateur hour diagram) Anyways, was just after advice on whether this is a worthwhile idea or not, what problems I might encounter if I did go ahead and what I should be looking to pay for the welding work and also the slim chance if anyone knows someone in the West Yorks area who'd be good for it?

Jenny Pryde Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'm no mechanical expert either. But I reckon there is no cat in there. It's too small a space - maybe it's a kitten? Suzuki are sooooo cruel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Pryde Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Thought: Before you cut open the exhaust, how can you tell whether the cat is alive or dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilchicken0 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 The cat on a bike doesn't weigh a ton ... most bikes are around 200kg total it impossible. Find an aftermarket pipe and keep the original for when you sell the bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorenzo Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I've decatted my 675 but it still has the stock can, was tested at oulton this week at 95db, so not astonishingly loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate decatted a 675 last week and it sounded awesome. The cat on a 675 is the size of a can of coke (well on the one he did) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 That's the one, right at the bottom of the engine. It sounded awesome because of the awesomeness. A remap will be needed if you remove the cat, it'll run pretty lean otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
