I was wondering if anyone has removed their Catalytic converter? If so were there any problems with less backpressure or air/fuel mixture?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Cat removal
I've seen several post and most say there is no
problems when it's removed. Some post mention
a bypass sold by Pit Bull and also Lamont shop
has a bypass pipe you can purchase. Check out
the post on DIY page 4 for how to remove. I'm
looking for a video of how to remove and what
to install as replacement for the Cat, but have
not seen anything I am comfortable with to start
the removal myself. Keep watching as someone
will post instructions or pictures that will be easy
to follow.

CAT REMOVAL !!!!
:hun:.....Well if you remove the CAT you MUST put something in the space between the pipes..... and the bypass pipe from either Lenny or Lamont is what's needed. I also HIGHLY recommend adding the BAFFLE ....because when the CAT is deleted this changes the amount of BACK-PRESSURE ..... The BAFFLE restores the balance.......... I made my own ( not difficult ) ..... but the cost is worth it..... Especially the sound change .....Mike :thumbup:

Cat By-pass
Understand the need for something to fill the space where is Cat is removed is a bypass pipe, but have no idea of where to find a by-pass for a 998. I saw Lamont's 1330 by-pass pipe on his site, but not one for a 998, maybe it would work for a 2012 998 also, but have not asked that question yet. I don't know who Lenny is, so I can't check his site to see if he has one. I looked at Two Brothers and did not see a by-pass for a 998 either. Still looking.
Thanks, Bill

"Lenny' is Len who owns Pitbull Powersports.
Here is a direct link to purchase the primary muffler bypass pipe for your 998:

Cat Delete
I bought my bypass from PitBull, had no problem installing, own a 2012 RT, install was pretty easy, a little tough aligning one side of the pipe to slide onto the existing manifold pipe, but have no regrets, and the sound is much better, the stock muffler hooks right on to the Cat Bypass. Not sure what someone ment about a baffle concerning back pressure, have had it on for over a year with about 6,000 miles after the install, no problems as yet.
