961 De-cat exhaust pipes

I would also like one for mine and was also told there would be one available but have not heard. Maybe worth a call to Motad who make the exhausts to see if they will be doing one.

I've De-Cat'd two previous bikes and was really impressed by the difference it makes, much better mid range andtop end Sorry Both where BMW's one I messed around with a TechLution Tuning Module as well to make it even better, but intantly hadimprovement over standard performance giving slightly lounder and gruffer sound without being offenesive.

Theres a Great Company in Norfolk we use for our Classic Bikes Pipes calledParavani he would be the man to talk to if you want your standard SS pipes de-cat'd by cut n shut. He be doing the Bike I must not meansion here assoon as i can get a set of SH front pipes for it.

Happy Near Year Peeps

They do do a louder peashooter silencer at Nortons, not as loud as the stubby ones, but not as muted as the standard peashooters, I've got them fitted on mine and everyone says that it sounds great and it goes ok so perhaps try them.

i talked to the norton service dept late last week the de cat will be available very soon i was assured for those of you who have fitted the short noisy boxes, Do they sound good my stock silencers are way to quiet, dont sound like a big twin should, although id realy like to see some swept backs

I had the long noisy pipes fitted at the first service (14th march 2014) and had the cat taken out at the same time, the sound ismuch betterwithout being too loud and the mid range torque feels better too. The price of the new middle exhaust section that has the cat taken out is an extra £300. The ECU needs to be reprogrammed for the noisy pipes and cat removal.

Before doing this you need to be sure that your de-catted bike will still meet the relevant emissions requirements. If reprogramming the ECU alone could achieve this, I rather doubt that Norton would have bothered to fit catalytic converters.

Also you should check that this mod does not invalidate your insurance policy.

Stay legal!

A de-catted X- pipe has been available in the US since November. One of my friends has one. It makes the bike slightly louder, little less torque, little more on top!

The Catalistic Exhausts only work's when there at the right temperature thats why when you go for you MOT they have rev the engine for some time to get the Catalistic converter Hot so it will read right on the exhaust testing machine . so when you riding or driving in town traffic the Catalistic exhaust is not work at all , So it begs the question why fit a Catalistic exhaust in the first place, there more trouble than there worth,

Anna its the greens and politicians that think the amount of particulates that motorist/motorcyclists puts out is going to save the world , the funny thing about it though is they put more pollution out manufacturing the things, the worlds gone mad.

Has anyone here tried the US version?
