    Sorry guys, I filmed with the phone vertical, my bad, but if watching as a tutorial on your computer it should be OK though. I used Pixel 4a, 1080p.
    Before, during, after, de-cat and installation.
    Gain estimated (weight removed and +hp) I would say equivalent to about 10hp. Noticeable gain in acceleration and peps, amazing! Previously I also removed the air flow reducer in air-box. The good thing: no need to flash the ecu with these modifications. Cheap and effective, yeah!
    I will do a follow-up video once weather and time will permit it.
    Thanks for watching!
    quick index:
    1- Project
    2- 1'27 sound before
    3- 1'58 sound with muffler removed
    4- 2'59 line removed from bike
    5- 5'07 cat removed
    6- 8'18 installation done, first start
    7- 10'07 still picture of the line
    8- 10'12 ready for road test

    Very good video, do you think it would be possible to cut only the first layer of metal and remove all the ceramic without damaging it? It is not appreciated if that part is loose.

    • @grandjean5605
      @grandjean5605  2 года назад

      No it's not possible with regular tools because the catalyst part is somehow welded inside.

    I watched your video, ordered my part, followed your easy to follow instructions and I am so happy with the way my bike sounds now. going to get my ECU flashed by 2 wheel dyno works in seattle next week, the throttle is choppy now and I dont like it. and I want pops and bangs and unrestricted fuel mapping.

    You need to reflash! Just because the exhaust valve is working means nothing!
    Reflash my friend and the motor will run much much better. Even with the stock setup a reflash does wonders. With doing such a major exhaust change it’s imperative!

    • @grandjean5605
      @grandjean5605  3 года назад +3

      Benefits: bike is a bit more responsive, feels more willing to go (few more HP). Exhaust is louder and somehow more pleasant to hear, but still in an acceptable range. Slightly using less gas (~0.5L less)
      Issues: exhaust sound. You might avoid core downtowns if police is strict.

    Did you have any leaks where the mid pipe attaches to the stock headers? It looks like there was a small gap on the clamp cut outs

    Good morning sir. i watch sir your video wow is very good and informative thanks for sharing this. after you installed all, you also re- map or you use it as normal? i'm planning also to remove my 2020.thank you and ride safe.

    • @grandjean5605
      @grandjean5605  2 года назад +2

      I didn't remap the ECU. Engine runs just good as it is, the computer being able to somehow adjust good enough. When I previously removed the air flow reducer in airbox, I noticed it took about 300-400km to the ECU to adjust. So ECU can self learn and adjust a bit by itself and by deleting only the cat, the valve is not removed so back pressure isn't excessive. Consequently, In my understanding, no need to flash ECU unless you want a fine tuning. If the valve was deleted, then for sure you would need a remapping of the ECU.
      Cheers

    I've heard that the exhaust valve is for nothing more than noise reduction, so what about removing it and connecting a servo buddy to prevent the F1 engine code? I mean, removing the cat changes the exhaust flow far more than the exhaust valve does, so if the cat removed does not require a remap, why would the exhaust valve removal? Thoughts?

    • @grandjean5605
      @grandjean5605  3 года назад

      Yes you can bypass the valve but i believe that then you need to flash ECU to refine the injection to avoid premature valves breakdown (back pressure issues). When flashing ECU you can also delete F1 light due to the removal of servo control, no need extra servo control. But you can put one too in case not flashing ECU. But honestly, in my opinion, money speaking, not worth it, as the gain in power wouldn't change much more. May be 2 or 3 HP more only, but mainly just a better mapping of the carburation. Right now, very satisfied with this easy mod!

    just asking ---- whey -- you had a perfectly working bike faster then most is able to handle that don't upset your community or other on the road and now you haw a bike that eventually will destroy it self if you don't get it flashed and the only thing you then haw is more sound les km litter and if you are lucky a few hp more
