Header Pipe Question
I have a local shop that does the Header Pipe cat removal thing . They gave me a price to install a pipe with cat remove for $100 and my old pipe .
Sounds like an ok deal it is a good shop and I do trust them . Would you do this ?? If you have already done this does it help HEAT- SOUND and how the bike runs .
Thanks .

that is a good deal...it's not like you are gonna cut and weld, right?
there is a photo tutorial thread if you want to search for it and see what it entails.
I have an 09 which had no cat in the header.
so essentially what you are doing is allowing your motor to breathe out like all the earlier models did.
i won't comment on heat- sitting on a motor is hot.
it's 108ş here now.
I wear heavy jeans and chaps to protect myself from the heat of the motor.
but an open pipe is going to allow hot exhaust gasses to escape faster.

For $100 it sounds like a great deal. People have been paying $175 on eBay and having to swap the pipes themselves. If you have stock mufflers a decatted header will give slightly more sound but very little.

Yes they will be doing the change and I will give them my Header Pipe and $100 Bucks . I am running CFR Mufflers now and like the sound so that is not a big deal .
I just put the Mufflers on today and getting a new front tire next and the catless header pipe . I am having a Michelin Commander 2 put on the front also .

just bought a de-catted head pipe for $125 delivered---weld polished inside and out--buddy will install for me(pay in food)---and will have the pipe to sell or keep--would jump on a the 100buck deal myself
