cat eliminator pipes look very simple by design, you might be able to go to the hardware store, buy a pipe of the correct diameter and length, then take it to a metal shop and have them bend it. From the looks of the designs there is only 1 bend in that pipe. They can also probably stretch the ends to slide over the other pipe and then just clamp it down.


I have been trying to get Misc bit of the exhaust from all the manufacturers and they are all slow to respond, or refuse to provide parts without the whole kit...

Bingo FZ6 | Yamaha | Arrow Motorcycle Exhaust System - Buy Aftermarket Street Bike Mufflers and Exhaust - Arrow Exhaust | Product Search | Pipe City :thumbup: looks like about 70-80 bucks american here. I see you are in Sweden so you might look around there so you don't get killed on shipping. good luck

Hmm.. You are in Sweden, so I guess it makes sense for you to order it fro the same place I got mine.
Motorcycle Racing Spare Parts and Accessories by RED Racing Parts
This company is in Italy.
I got Arrow cat eliminator for €52 +pp for my 2007 S2.
Be aware of that the partnumber for 2207 is different from previous models.

Lewy.
Mine is still somewhere on the way to me so I can only comment on what I have heard.
It is supposed to give more torque in midrange because there is quite a resistance in the catalytic converter.
I will let you know my first hand experience when it is installed. This mod is not so much about sound.

I have tried finding pics and info on the net but no real luck LOL

I stuck an Arrow cat eliminator in front of my stock pipes last fall. It didn't make much difference in the sound. It seemed to help performance a little, but that could have been all in my mind. I didn't check the fuel economy - I've got to imagine it helped a little bit. I stuck Scorpion pipes and a PCIII in it this spring and those made a world of difference.

I assume that I can later put any cans on the Arrow pipe because it is has the same rear end as the "Yamaha cat mid pipe". Am I correct Trouble?

Put on an Arrow cat pipe eliminator from Motorcycle Exhaust and Accessories - Yoshimura Cobra Akrapovic Two brothers Jardine Scorpion Bub Rinehart Vance Hines Harley Exhaust Pipe Systems | Pipe City on my 2007 this weekend. Last year I opened up the insided of the mufler and modified it from a 3 chamber affair to a 2 chamber affair. I did not notice any performance change by going to the cat eliminator. I did however get:

-slightly deeper exhaust note and more overall volume above 7,000 rpm
-much less heat radiating out of the swingarm pivot area which is what I wanted to accomplish anyway. With the stock cat in place, you could probably fry bacon within about an inch and half distance from it. With the replacement pipe, things are much cooler around the area of the pipe. Temperatures at the muffler and on the muffler cover remained about the same, maybe 5-10 degrees cooler (I took measurements with a laser thermomter, but they are written down at home somewhere)

The Scorpions I got slipped right on fine. I've got to imagine any of the other pipes would do the same.

Hey Trouble,
you posted that you are running the Arrow Cat Eliminator,
Scorpion Slipons and PCIII. What did this do for your performance from Stock and what difference from stock MPG did discover. Thanks
