I got the cat out of my R12S in a few hours using a star drill and hammer to remove it from the open end of the pipe. It's not ceramic, but not that hard to remove using the meatball method.

Now that I think about it, I first drilled three holes with a long 1/2" HS drill bit, then employed the star drill approach.

... :eek: ...

…OK ; got the pipes-without-cat back from Mr. TIG Welder…
…think it looks good, with a bit more bling to it…

…will ‘throw’ the new, and improved (?) pipes under the S tomorrow…

Nice work!!!

Nice wood deck with star drive stainless screws.

I thought it was a table :)

...I notice a good eye for details here... ;)

... :D

...tables on this side of the world, look very, very similar to yours... SmileWavy





...ha...; table... :D

Now I am confused, table or deck?

With Bill following me around to correct my mistakes, I think I will go out and work in the garage. ;)

RB

Sorry... it is Friday and I am feeling kinda silly.

Um, Bill..her name is 'kinda silly', eh?

Forget the deck/path deal man, that is some nice grass. You guys in the Netherlands got the best grass.....dude!!:D

Ron is as anal about his grass as he is about keeping his bikes clean.

I don't know how he has time left to work. :D

thats not real grass, its astro turf!

...I use an agenda... :D
...and 'yes' ; I don't have a life...




...btw ; the cat-less pipes are fitted...
...easy job ; maybe 20 minutes...

...and a great sound together with those dB-eater-less Lasers...
...by far not Harley-loud, but the sound is deeper...

...you can hear emptiness... :cool:
...and you can see this emptiness ; closing the throttle at around 7000 RPM gives a nice bang, together with a nice pair of 30 centimeters long blue flames... :cool::cool:



...a rolling-road session will proof if it was worth all the trouble...


...but not today ; it rains... :(

...they say so... SmileWavy




...just for the records ; I don't know...

Yeah, if your hands would be in the picture, Bill would say something about the state of your manicure... most certainly! ;)

...no, shreddr, that is the way grass looks over there... that's what rain and good yard work do! :D

Ron-

I understand your passion. Out door dining.
