| You're a brave man! Took me 2 weeks to pluck up the courage to ask someone else (Sim) to drill my baffles then another week to pop 4 holes in the back plates myself. | |

| Smoothest job of doing that I have seen. very good job. Usually that inner mickie looks like a car wreck. Drilling it first really helped that I think. | |

| Now I have run the 'cleaned out' pipes for a couple of hundred miles and the bike seems happy, I wonder if a liile more grunt could be achieved by piercing the cat which can clearly be seen through the large hole I have recently made in the second plate. Can't see that this will be much different from an aftermarket which has no cat at all, just a bit louder. Can anyone think of any problem piercing the cat? It just looks like wire mesh to me. | |

| You'll need to put a lollipop in again to create some back pressure John, or you'll lose low end torque, the cat can be got at better from the other end if you remove the silencer, then use a drill or hammer and chisel to smash the cat up before shaking the bits out, gaskets on that end are pretty sturdy too. | |

| Yes I've had the top muffler off and looked in from that end but put it back on. As for back pressure I've still got about 1/3 of both plates intact so maybe enough there. Not sure as it's running/ sounding well at the moment. Knowing when to stop is the question! | |

| Drilled out the cats today with a very long 3/4" masonry bit. Bit louder and deeper. Torque seems OK. I've still got about 1/2 the plate area in so back pressure is still there. Main reason I did it was parked next to a Harley yesterday - he started up first, me next. I could hardly hear mine so I thought...right! | |
