Good Job
Mine is off my bike and I am about to cut, what did you use to cut?
The cat removal looks real clean, did you use the air chissel method, and last question did you tig weld it?
I have .045 cut-off wheel I am going to use and an air chissel but I will need to find someone to weld it.
Thanks

I'm sure you would be better off finding someone that can use a bandsaw to cut the pipe instead of a cutoff wheel.
Probably the same shop you have do the weld can make the cut.

I used a mil band saw, then hammer and chisel to remove the cat, clean it up with a narrow scraper.
Wear dust mask and gloves, and do it outside. if you can. I used a mig  to weld it back.
hardest thing about all of it was getting the heat shields back on to fit well. they suc.
TN, I just used the same gaskets, they where in good shape.

used a portaband to cut, very easy. a regular hole saw for the most removal, and chisel to clean. paid special attention to the weld zone. tig weld. painted with high temp silver.



gonna v-tune again.

Well, the cut-off wheel worked good, I used tape around the pipe as a guide.  The wheel I used was as thin as a band saw. (4.5" X 045)

The air chissel worked great to gut it now I will be looking for a tig welder in my local area.

I currently have the SERT tuned to the base map of AC and Performance mufflers.  Now I will probably need to get it dyno tuned when I get it back together.


Thanks again Steve for the info.

I think if your SERT map is a MP7, you can cut and paste the VE tables from my TTS map. Shoot me an Email and I will reply back with a copy of the map. Worth a try. Might save you $ome dyno time.
