I went to bolts and nuts shop to source some stainless steel bolts.

Rear signal broke after replacement, vibration of the exhaust caused it to break.

15Nov2013 - Getting Rid Of The Cat

I after measuring the pipe from the header, it's 1 inch plus OD which I couldn't find any in my nearest hardware shop so I end up buying a few 304 stainless steel adapter which are use for water plumbing and luckily it has the same ID as measured on the header's pipe.

I had no idea regarding the exhaust's steel material but I know it is made of SS and that is white I get 3 SS fittings.

I TIG welded them together and took out the pipe and do mock up using sharpie and tack weld a few spots. It took quite some time to measure, mark, tack, install back to the bike, make adjustment, weld and install.

The cat doesn't contain any ceramic materials like cars or anything, it is just a small restrictive baffle with a sharp edge which doesn't give any good flow from the start to the end of he baffle (cat).
