Default cat gut

Finally got around to gutting the cat on my 2011 SG. Soooo much nicer not having a blast furnace on my right leg! As an added bonus the sound level is now perfect on the stock pipes. Not too loud and nice and deep. 200 plus miles later and no issues.

I tried doing the cutting myself, but all it did was bust the cutting wheel I was using. (air tools, I don't have a side grinder)
I took it to a local muffler shop full of bikers and they did it for 50 bucks. Cut,gut, and weld.
That plasma cutter made very short work of cutting that access panel!

Good deal Malum. Sounds like you will have a much "cooler" summer in many ways!
