Boatman.. How did the weld job come out??? I'm thinking about cutting mine but wondering about final fit. I thought about putting the pipe back on the bike and bolting everything up and then tacking the pipe in a couple spots so everything is lined up.
A machine/welding shop is doing it. They scribed it like Fullsacs picture and cut it apart. Their blade was 1/16".. I picked the pipe up and removed the cat.. They are going to set the pipes up in "v" blocks and then weld. They think it will come out alright.
I will post with pictures and whether it fit later this week.
Taking out the cat was not as easy as you would think. It just laughed at a big hammer and punch. On the rear side, a air chisel was used and then pulled it out in pieces with pliers. The front half, a 1/2" drill bit was drilled thru about 10 different places and then the cat pulled out in pieces. The cat is glued to the insides of the pipes and the inside looks like Fullsacs pictures on their website.
I then took a air tool with grinding bit and cleaned up all the loose inside pieces of the cat..
