yeah i de-catted and wrapped my pipes with dei titanium header wrap and then put my heat shields back on. Talk about night and day, the wrap really helps disperse the heat and allows it to dissipate faster and not sit there and soak up the heat shields i think as well.

Finally put mine on this weekend after drilling mine out and the mufflers too. Better sound and cooler pipes

He is a non believer. I did the same on my bike and I am happy with the outcome.

I have one waiting on me when I get done sucking sand this rotation, can't wait to see the difference it is going to make. Give it some time, the cat police will be here shortly, lmao. He shows up on most cat threads,lol. No one is making the payments on my bike but ME, I dont see the point of trying to discourage someone from doing this, its a no brainer to me. Keep the shiny side up, oh yeah, round 90 days left, WOOO HOOOO!!!!!

Made a world of difference without the cat, wish I would have wrapped the pipes too. Probably go back and do it.
