Title: 2008 gsxr600 cat
Post by: bkrblood on February 08, 2010, 08:39:21 PM
ok so i just ordered a jardine gp1 slip on for my 08 gixer 6.  i know the cat has been welded on for my bike but i was wondering if anyone knew of a mid pipe for the bike if i cut the cat off.  I wanted to cut the cat off to get that huge weight off plus wanna get the bike opened up more.  any tips?

How about taking it to the professional  Suzuki guy who race's em   Steve at 2wheel custom performance.

  if you open it up that much it might need a new fuel map

Its not about power, its about ridability. Fuel mapping smoothes out the power curve making the bike easier to ride. Less choppy going from 0% throttle to small throttle openings. And doesn't surge under maintenance throttle.
