Cat-bypass Installing problems

[mailman1pc]

I just ordered my cat bypass for my 2013 Rt and want to do it myself, but I know that won't happen after reading the comments. I'm clueless on my bike and want to learn by doing or watching someone help me. TIme will tell I should have it next week.

where did you order from? i tried two sites and had no luck! one was lamonsterinc.com

Just a note on the V Band clamps- it helps if you tighten them til the nut gets tight, then tap on the sides of the clamp and tighten again. This helps seat those clamps and gives a better seal.

Just thought about this too. Some have mentioned the springs on the pipes. Here is what I've been using for several years as a spring removal/install tool.

This is a headlight spring tool. About $6.00 bucks (when I bought mine) or less at any parts house. I use it on many types of spring applications from mowers to tractor trailers.

Jim, you still have not answered my question. Why did you install a CAT bypass if the 2014 has no heat problems????

Dunno about Jim but I didn't/don't have any heat problems for driver or passenger on my 2012, I did the cat bypass because the cat sits low to the ground and I park on leaves and grass. No asphalt drives out here on the farm. The heat issue is concern over starting a fire under the spyder.

Slightly better mpgs and performance will be a nice added benefit if it happens.

So I have gotten my cat-bypass from Pitbull and now I need some install trick or something. I was able to get the cat-bypass removed with no problems. Now when I am trying to install the new I hit a roadblock......... I have placed the gaskets on the down pipe and then we are trying to slide the cat-bypass pipes onto the down pipes, its no go? It is almost as if the gaskets are to big or the pipe to the cat-bypass is too small. What I do know after hours to trying it's still not on. Anyone installed a by-pass and could offer a little advise? I really don't want to put the cat back on to ride?

This tool is what I have used in the pass when installing Honda exhaust Gaskets on 2008 GS ( Link Below).....
Does make fitment much easier. Should work as well when installing CatBypass....
