Lamonster 1330 RTS Project begins!

[Lamonster]

Couple of questions on the bypass.

1) Would it void your extended warranty?

2) What about resale in Ca. where the CAT probably needs to be there to pass EPA? Do Spyders ever need to be smog checked on resale?

3) If you put the bypass in, can you put the CAT back in if needed later or is it cannibalized?

4) I thought the 2014's did not have heat issues and the CAT was moved? So I assume doing the bypass is for other reasons?

Have no idea on the warranty, sorry

This is like any other CAT bypass, none of them legal for street use that I know of, neither is changing any stock exhaust but people still do it.

There are no parts taken from the stock cat, it will bolt right back up.

There is no heat issues from the radiator like the early models. I did this more for the sound and the increased torque. The 2010-2012 cat bypass will help with heat issues.

Count me in on the CAT bypass Bro.

Thanks Lamont for the answers.

One more.... does it effect engine tuning and possibly cause codes? I thought I saw a post a while back where a guy did it and then got lean codes or something?

I am interested in this. While I don't have a heat issue on my 2011 from a comfort point of view, I would like to get rid of the hot gas tank problem I do get on hot summer days.

[wis2013rtltd]

to see photos of the Spyder with the newly dipped parts reinstalled. I think that is a trend that will gain traction, especially on the black machines.-Thanks.

[SpydermanCT]

Lamont, I would also be interested in the Cat by pass............

[Bob Denman]

Black on Black, looks pretty darn sharp!
It was a Bright move!

[ARtraveler]

Looking forward to seeing the completed masterpiece.

[lookerjdc]

count in 2 more on the cat bypass

looking forward to catching up with you in Daytona next week at the BRP tent or wherever so I can see your new mods!!!!!!

[samewok]

You and Harvey have a safe trip. Also i know Harvey will have the bypass when get them done.
I will have him but one on my 2011 RT.

[johnnyg]

Lamont you and Harvey have a safe trip all the way down, The weather is looking good for the first part of next week so far, Well the Cat bypass work on the ST as well ? See you all next Sat. John & Carol

CAT delete/bypass...I'm in

[capt.jim]

The dipped parts are really sharp looking. Count me in for the cat bypass too, nice work on the pipe.

[Mad Mac]

I agree w/Finless. Wisconsin I think is lax on CATS on bikes at this time,but it would be nice to have the option to re-install it just in case johnnie law decides to position a deci meter anywhere close for a quick sound check.Also I would check w/BRP about how it would effect fueling if any at all.last thing you need is a dead machine out in the middle of nowhere because it tripped a code or somethngi Have 2014 RT LIMITED ordered,just waiting for snow to disapper and a few good rain storms to wash the sand and salt away.course it is pearl white so the salt might not show up as much. It does look like a quality piece and if the price is right I might have to try it. I have this sickness for perf.parts,not much into the plastic chrome stuff.Have owned 94 and 03 goldwings and never got into the double stick tape stuff.

[napper39]

i also love cats dont forget me.

[bandwagon]

Count me in on all the new toys (Cat, Hwy/Pegs, and your hidden surprises). Now go and enjoy the sunshine, palm trees,and Florida; you're going to need it.

[Lamonster]

The pre-production part needed more angle toward the rider so that will be corrected next week. It's not bad but not what I wanted and that's why you test fit this stuff before it goes out to you guys.

Now the cat bypass is nothing short of awesome. This thing sound killer with the stock pipe and it picked up some torque for sure. I can't wait to see if it's going to help the mileage too. This is the perfect trip for that.

[Illinois Boy]

The project looks very interesting Lamont. I will keep watching, so keep posting. Should be great when fully tested and finished!

[NEXUS]

Count me in on the Highway brackets +
bypass.

Will be there tomorrow, interested in losing the cat also, but not sure where you will be, also where BRP will be? thanks, Jim
