Big Nasty CAT

well guys, I just finished getting rid of the big nasty cat. I made a Y-pipe with 1 7/8 and 1 5/8 in exhaust tubing. My welding skills arent the best, but they will work.
I have the Staintune exhaust with no baffles, pair block offs, and evap removed.

I also cut off the center stand bracket and re welded it to the new y-pipe.

It sounds incredible!!!!

After it was all installed, i noticed an exhaust leak. looked around and it was the bracket on the pipe going to the mufflers. The weld cracked and seperated from the pipe. took it all back apart and rewelded it together.

Now I am done! When I get it dyno tuned I will let you guys know how it runs

 

Aaronj,
Good job, bet you have better top end power:wink:

 

Wow. Nice job on that mod. How about a sound clip?

 

How much did that cat weigh?

 

Sweet! Been thinking of dong the same thing!

 

I will weigh the cat when I get home from work tonight, and I will try to get my camcorder workin and will get a vid clip with sound asap

I think the cat weighs around 5 pounds. We will see tonight

 

Good job...now go clean up your tools. LOL.

 

I was thinking "Wow somebody who is just as messy as I when I work." LOL

 

Yea, thats the only way I can find my tools! When I put the where they are supposed to be, I can never find them LOL

I did weigh the cat it weighs is just a hair under 5 pounds

I should have a vid and sound clip by the weekend

 

2nd to last pic, is that an induction system of some sort in the background?

KC-10 FE out...
lane: :usa2:

 

Looks like a turbo off a rice racer

 

Yep, you 2 nailed me.
it is my motorhead stage II turbo for my 2003 Hayabusa. Intercooler, secondary controller and injectors and also a turbo motor built by fornerelli racing out of illinois.
My busa is heading down to austin in a few weeks to be put together and tuned by Johnny Cheese. imho the best tuner out there for busas.

The motor can handle up tp aboput 550rwh and with that turbo setup capable of up to 520 or so. I will have it tuned for street trim around 350rwh and later will have it go up to 450 for the track with a multi stage boost controller. I found a company that will make a boost controller which works by each gear position. 1stgear 285hp 2nd 315 3rd 350 4th 350 5th 450

That is the main reason I purchased the vfr is that the busa will not be as streatable as it was before all the motor and turbo work.

I have a few pics of the bike in my gallery. I bought it used last year with one panel with a hole in it. I was friends with a Bodyshop manager and we had one of his bodymen do the artwork.

Hopefully I will have it down in a month.

 

Here is a pic when I was in Arkansas last year, This was on Push Mountain Rd There is a photographer on some of the curves kind of like the dragon.

 

Please post up a sound clip. I have been wanting to hear one with out the cat.

 

Here is a vid clip of the exhaust
