Hello all,
Having painstakingly weighed between the Austin and Akrapovic systems for the SDR, I've decided to have a custom system built by a local custom bike builder. The fabricator/owner creates some exceptional designs, many of which have been featured in magazines and PipeBurn:
motorelic.com
While I have no doubt the design and sound will be killer, I am wondering about deleting the catalytic converter. I understand that one of the Austin systems for the SDR deletes the cat, but does not require a remap and you retain the stock 02 sensor - which is what the custom system will do as well. The basic design will be two smaller, full through/open race mufflers tucked up under the bike, with a slash Akrapovic tip not too dissimilar from the Panigale basic layout.
Essentially I just want to build a catless system that retains the stock O2 sensor/location, that has a little (a lot) more growl, and not trigger any CELs or limp mode. I think that's possible with the basic layout we've put together, but I wanted to see if anyone knows for sure if deleting the cat requires other mods. I will be doing the Healtech ESE, so that wont be an issue.
Thanks!
