Modifying the stock headpipe for more power!
« on: February 10, 2009, 06:44:02 PM »
Heres a few pics I shot today while modifying a stock CVO headpipe.

Pic 1.
Headpipe VS bandsaw. Headpipe lost miserably revealing "power robbing obstruction".

Pic 2

Obstruction VS air chissel.
Obstruction lost miserably revealing how the front cylinders headpipe is extended, bringing it much closer to face of the cat. There, I said it. Cat cat cat cat.

It's a wonder that there is any flow at all thru that pipe. It would be intresting to know how much pressure drop is across the cat.

Yes! And additional fuel (remapping) is required to take full advantage of the additional airflow.

Did you just use the pen mark to line up the pipe after the cut? Did you mig or tig it? I am pretty with a welder and am thinking about the same surgery on mine.

I draw a line with a sharpie on both sides before I cut. Makes lining it back up idiot proof.  I Mig welded this one. The Tig would have a cosmetic advantage, but for what? Look at Harley's mig welds on both sides. It's all under the shields anyways. After the last pic, I sprayed the weld with a little Hi temp paint.

So the people here that have used the 1.6 core bit only remove the cat that is restricting the right side tail pipe? The cat is still restricting the left side due to it`s oval shape in the pipe, that the bit could not get. I this correct. Thank`s
