who ever had the idea to cut the pipe and remove the cat and weld back together had a great idea, simple and effective. there is a good chance that with the coring bit method the cat that still remains could possibly rattle loose or break apart.

I'm confused,  when you cut the pipe are you making one cut, then cleaning,,,,,or two cuts and replacing with a new piece of pipe.........I looked under the bike and it looks like there is about a 16th play from the crossover to the trans,  if you cut through  the pipe and weld it back with the saw blade being 1/8" the cross over would hit the trans ............am I wrong

The band saw blade isn't 1/8".  And after he welds it back together, it bolts back up just fine.  Trust me on this...

I did mine yesterday, the Kerf of the blade is the amount you are concerned with. I made a 9 in reference point beyond the cat on both sides, when i lined it up to weld i used that 9in to reference back.
