Gave it to the Weldy guy. He used the cut torch to cut it out I think. He's a exhaust manufacturer and EC300 owner.

What bikes have this CAT fitted? What years?

It must be awful once it gets blocked up with carbon.

I hope my 2004 EC300 hasn't got one!

All the best, Dave.

You'll know if it has one. The pipe is HEAVY! and the power is weak. The pipe also has a small breather pipe section welded into it, and the whole thing is mat black.

They typically come in the crate (not fitted) along with a few other parts for euro emissions requirements. Crap shoot to know which years had them shipped with bike. I don't think my 2010 did, nor did my 2013 which I received in the crate. I've seen 2017 models get unpacked with them in there though (and have one sitting in my shed as we speak). Maybe the 'racing models' didn't get them?

So, golly many years on. My decatted pipe had some wear at manifold area so I put on my old bashed up original pipe.

Sounds different. And Bwwaaap it runs better. Decatted pipe is so much better than cated. But removing it isn't as good as the original on the 07 at least.


Jeez my bike rocks now.

Stand up wheelies on command

i thought i would post a pic to help anyone else who wants to do this.
I wonder if it was necessary to make two cuts, it seems that the one on bigger diameter is sufficent to pull the cat out.
