I don't even see how you'll get the individual probes for tuning for each cylinder separately, with that cat installed in the main pipe! Not really sure how you'll do it with that crossover underneath either. Some other things to think about! When we tuned my bike with the FatCat, we had 2 probes stuck in the exhaust, both going thru the muffler and into each separate head pipe for each cylinder's measurements. :nixweiss:

Texas,

Do tell!! Give us a ride report about the heat. Right now when I check the temperature with a infared digital temp gun it reads 409 degrees at the area where the cat is located and about 230-260 evrywhere else on the pipe. 110 on the stock mufflers.

The bike's narrow band sensors, or removing them and use the holes (which I don't see how you'll seal properly)? Either one sounds skeery! :nixweiss:

Completed surgery on mine about an hour ago. I used a 1/2" chuck, 5 amp drill. It was a 3 hour tour including cool down time for the drill motor. The wife got pissed, but the refrig did help some. Don't leave it in too long or condensation will build up on the brushes and it won't run. The drill motor got really hot, let some smoke out it a couple of times, but that stench probably needed to get out anyway. In the end the drill was still going round and round when I broke through. Reflashed, with the map Jim mentioned and fired up the ride. Sounds RIGHT, finally! The 2" cores are good for me. I will install the SE Air Breather tomorrow night and take er for a ride.....

Work sure is getting in the way of these higher priorities! And yeah, FTC !! You'd think they built these bikes for a bunch of environmental wackos.

I am so proud of you guys!  This is good stuff.  I bet you will feel the difference when you pull out of your garage.  Take a close look at the cat now that it's removed and imagine how difficult it is for exhaust gases to get through. 

FYI, the cc's are made out of Platinum.  They will not give up without a good fight.  You need a strong drill that can keep the torque (not speed) throughout the process.

Amen it's some  hard chit>>>used a Black and Decker 1/2" drill and it was smokin a couple of times.. Shot some WD 40 up in there during cool downs.  You'll drill a while,relax,get a cool beveraqe, drill some more, take your time , no hurry, you won't think that the bit is cutting anything but it is. THis is like drilling concrete..I measured back 7" when I first slipped the bit in and put a piece of black tape around the arbor as a depth guage to see where I was..  Are there any future members of the FTC club out there.....CAN   I GET AN AMEN BROTHER,,,,,Greg

It was in a thread somewhere but just the 110s have it. The 96 does not.
