I can see all the benefits and only the one downside. (If I have to put a catted header back on to get through state inspections...)

Thanks

I did mine the same way, just cut a window out. I took off my pipe here at home, and my buddies neighbor used the same method and Tigged it closed with Stainless Steel.

I've done some upgrades since then, but I'm still running my stock head pipe.

But here we go....


Me, and my two riding buddies, just had our CC's cut out by a guy out in west Houston, and he does a GREAT job. He does NOT cut the pipe in half.... This way, there is not fittment issues going back together (too short, or welded back at an angle)


He cuts a widown in the pipe, removes a section, and uses an air chizzle to get all the crap out.... Then welds the widow he cut out back on.

He does super clean work, and it takes about an hour. He charges $100, but don't think if you bring him 10 he'll cut you a deal, he won't, we all 3 tried haha


It is $100 per pipe, take it or leave it. We are all 3 VERY happy with sound and performance after removal.


If you want his info, PM me, and I'll send it your way.


Thanks!!!!

I am 100% stock exhaust right now (minus the CAT).

I plan to put on a high flow filter, and slip ons next week, then go do a download......
