The 2WF dude stated that he felt a lot of heat emitting from the CAT. I myself havn't had any heat issues with mine but I still want to remove this filter for better sound and more top end (as if). Anyway, for those of you that have removed it, did the bike seem to run a little cooler from the motor or did you notice "less" heat from the seat? Also, are there any 'How To's" on removing this bastard? Thanks.
Cat' Removal May Remove any Heat Issues?

I pulled mine last weekend and have only gone out once.Didnt notice any heat issues but I dont undestand all the heat talk I'm not feeling the problem!? and I have a great tip for ya.I read that the rear fairing is a bitch to take off so I did it without removing the plastic.ended up with a flawless job too.the only tricky part is the plastic peices that cover the slipon securing bolts.two of the screws are "unaccesable" with the tail intact.Unless you take a phillips screwdriver (borrowed from neighbor preferably)heat the tip up till she glows and bend it about 70 degrees,then you can get to those screws.its a little time consuming but well worth it IMOA.that way I get to play with the bike longer.pm me if you want more details.be happy to help
