how did you fit it though if the cat is welded? Did you need to cut it off?
No easy way, I tried. You have to follow the procedure's as shown in a number of you-tube videos. Not a easy task but you don't have to repeat any of the step once done. The x-pipe I used follows the basic design that the Euro 4 bikes have, a three piece set, (cat- lt and rt intermediate pipes ). That cat puts a lot of heat directly under the motor, so oops it fell off.
checked the Free Spirit site , they are supplying the intermediate pipes . Pricey though , but they claim no ECU adjustments required.
No adjustments? Doesn’t seem possible, but if they’ve achieved that, it may well be worth the higher price.
Easy enough, the key is backpressure. The OEM pipes, cat, and silencer's are designed to meet a number of criteria for emissions and noise. The end result is a given backpressure to the combustion chamber at all throttle settings. Match that value with even an open pipe and and no adjustment required as fueling isn't affected. Change the exhaust backpressure up or down and you have to dork with the fueling.
This was exactly my thought. Get a set of Euro4 headers, H-pipe and connecting pipes to replace my Euro5 setup.
Just found it on the Trat forum . The whole kit from EBay , Chinese made , 243 Aud$ .
Meant to mention that I believe the muffler are the same, and bolt on regardless of Euro 4 or Euro 5.
Don't know if this helps but my new 2020 T
i decated my 2020 T120 fitted MotoneX pipe and British Classic Silencers, did the hot and cooling cycle at tick over and the bike ran much more efficiently, more torque and another 7-8 mpg. Have since changed the bike after 3 years but the silencers are still for sale.
2023....should be welded....look yourself.
Sorry , beg to differ . On the factory diagram the cat is now welded to the inter mediate pipes . The header pipes are clamped to the cat same as the E 4 models .
I will double-check my bike to see if the welds are to each end of the CAT or only from the headers.
My friend's 2015 (T100 -- similar) had to re-map his system when he changed his exhaust. He took it to a local business who put his bike on their dyno machine to re-map. The bike came back with (in his opinion) more power than it had previously, and no longer had any variances in the throttle. He was pleased!
