    Default Cat gone pipe

    Recieved the cat delete pipe from lamonster yesterday.
    went out at 1:30 today to put it on.
    finished at about 3:30, basically an easy installation,
    but I had to walk away a few times due the springs, and a few bad words.
    let it idle for 10 minutes, went for a short ryde seems to be running fine

    What'd you use to pull that top spring?
    I always use a t-handled puller (a remnant from my two-stroke tuning days...)
    With it: I have yet to find a spring that I can't remove.

    Cool

    I had my Lamonster pipe and QQ baffle fitted by my dealer on Tuesday (20 mins) while he was doing the chassis reinforcement
    recall work. Rode the 130 miles home and I have to say that I like the sound. The performance hasn't been adversely
    affected but I think I'm likely to use more fuel as I like to listen to the motor singing at higher revs!

    I loosened the front clamp on the exhaust. Made the spring removal and re-install much easier.

    Did you install a baffle or just the by pass pipe?

    I believe it was your thread I read on loosening the clamp. No spring removal tool or cuss words needed.

    Default Spring

    Get 10 feet of parachute cord. Pass cord thru spring. Have helper pull cord from back of bike. Do all three. Takes 35 seconds. Remove clamp, remove bolt, remove muffler.slide cat off rubber donut. Remove "cat". Install bypass, springs first. Hang muffler loosely, connect muffler to bypass with clamp. Tighten muffler bolt. Done. 20 minutes, tops. At least on a 1330 RT.
    the 990 is a bit more involved. Joe

    I watched as Ann pulled the cord while Joe disengaged the springs when replacing my Cat with the bypass. No curse words necessary.

    I listened to SpyderAnn's with the bypass yesterday. I like the sound so will have to save a few bucks and get the bypass for mine.

    Since you have a 2013 you will need to contact PitBull for the Cat Bypass pipe.
