We all want more power and sound from our stock 103's, correct? One of the things robbing us of this is the damn cat. This is why we spend hundreds buying aftermarket dresser or power duals. Some go thru the trouble of cutting the bottom of the stock head pipe and removing cat then welding a plate to cover the hole. Bush league. Here's where it gets interesting. 2 Hampsters, 1 habitrail, no bedding. Attach habitrail to head pipe, drop in the hamsters and let them go to work. They will instinctively go into your head pipe, take out every bit of fiberglass in your cat and bring it into your habitrail for their bedding. Voila, better sound, more power for about $20.00.
Let me know how you make out.
Of course I'm only joking. (Or am I?)

 

Only issue with this theory is the cat material is made of metal and might require a more aggressive critter like a RAT to chew it out......Just sayin.

 

Sorry, thought cat media was fiberglass. Never mind.

 

Ya beat me to it. Its a lot harder to get out then just a hamster could ever do. Worse yet it comes out in lil pieces at a time too.

They will find everything else in your garage easier to munch on...then you need cats...and then you need dogs...it escalates to full on animal conflict for control of your garage.

But it could work.

 

Hamsters is that not what they call you when you ride with Arlen Ness, and
there is ***** cats in Catalytic Converters.

 

The nice thing about the hampster method is that once they're done removing all that material, all you gotta do to get rid of them is to fire up the motor and open the throttle nice and wide. Might wanna aim the ends of the pipes out the door or at the pesky neighbors or something first.

 

 

The exotic metals in the CAT are a target for thieves, similar to copper.

So using no good reasoning, how about parking the bike in a shadier part of town and said thieves will be happy to liberate the troublesome platinum, palladium and rhodium for you.

If the process takes a little longer than desired to get started, perhaps a length or two of 1½" copper pipe to chum with. Or to slow them down.

 

I like your idea the best. Will cost nothing. I'll even leave the slip-ons off for easy access. Hmmm. Wonder if they will just take the cat media and not touch the rest of the bike.
