See my post Here. I have now removed the cat as well and also from the front the next baffle ( can see daylight looking through ) The cat was drilled out with a hole saw, takes a bit of time as the saw keeps blocking up, the cat is about 9cm deep. Louder and deeper sound results.

I know very little about EFI but... is it okay to take the cat out of the equation on an EFI bike?
