I'm use to reading plugs and wash in 2 strokes and would get sick if i saw some that clean and colorless. Thats a four though so i'd just get it fixed. They are going to try to talk you into a tuner with the head pipe i think. I have the exact bike as you and got a power commander from Fuel Moto with the map for the no cat. You should get that and if you don't like it unplug and your back to stock ecu settings. I wouldn't let the dealer see that you ran it without the cat and no download. I think your in need of more than the download with more than the a/c and slipon

 

Did the swap to the quiet baffle (D&D FatCat 2-into-one concentric cone) and the Stage 1 download. The bike is quieter, has much less popping and, unfortunately, it feels a bit less potent/less responsive than it did with the louder (freer breathing) perforated wrapped baffle. I do plan to have the 103 kit installed, which hopefully will help bring back some of the zip lost from switching to the quiet baffle.

 

A tuner of some sort would do you allot of good. Power commander, or Thundermax.

 

BY switching from the D&D FatCat perf wrapped baffle to the more restrictive concentric baffle (the quieter one), I've lost some power as compared to the perf wrapped baffle. I'm wondering about opening up the intake a bit by going from the SE Stage 1 A/C to the SE Heavy Breather A/C. Does anyone know if this would make enough difference to be worth the money?

I will definitely be installing the 103ci kit to pump up the power a bit more, as I like the mellower sound of the quiet baffle on this exhaust.

I'm considering the RideMaxx, which has been getting good reviews. But will wait until after I put the 103 kit on the bike, then see how it runs before spending the money on a tuner.
