de cat

[Drnick]

I guess no one in the states is doing this mod?

I most likely will do this mod and do it on the bike but not till next winter. Might order the part this summer but been waiting to ride so not going to mess with it right now - It's Riding Season Finally!!!!! Anybody know how much that part cost in US dollars? I will also have to remove my ECU again and send it back to Vcyclenut for his reflash he has for the system he put together.

Zlude, I can’t wait that long, gotta remove that damn cat!
It’s such a damn restriction, plus it’s like an oven cooking the
Bottom of the engine

Why do you need someone else to do it first?

I’ve done this on many bikes,(removal of cat) but there was always a “plan B”,( available after market exhaust) just in case “plan A” didn’t fullfill my expectations,I’m just surprised that no one in the states hasn’t done this yet.

I believe the reason nobody had done the cat removal yet is because the link pipe to replace that section just became available from MTC. Plus the discovery that the ZX10 headers can be utilized thus affording an in-expensive alternative to a slowly developing aftermarket complete system. As of right now the only aftermarket system is Vandomine which is expensive and the exhaust canister doesn't appeal to all, at least it doesn't to me anyway. Now the kit Vcyclenut put together is a very attractive alternative and at least from his dyno charts shows higher HP and torque than a full Vandomine at less than half the cost! I will most likely do the de-cat alteration but I'm not in a hurry and want to ride more than wrench right now.

Since the de cat had the bike back at the tuning shop in UK. Now have 226 HP (wheel) thats without raising the stock rev limit on the bike.

Yes if you lift the rev limit to 13000 rpm from stock 12500 rpm you can get 230+ HP but chances are your supercharger or motor will go bang.

Bike is running / breathing much better and is much lighter thanks to cat, exhaust valve removal.

You should its easy if your careful and take your time

[Zdude]

Dragonmaster, did you have a dyno before the de-cat? What was your increase doing De-cat?

There isnt much of a risk going up 500 rpm. Hell brocks goes up 800rpm. Kawasaki always lowers the rpm from what the bike can handle. What im more curious about is where does the power stop. Every dyno i have seen, the power never drops, even with brocks raising it to 13300rpm.
