Any word on how much work it is taking to get the can opened up and the cat removed?! I just came across this post and definitely curious.
Was also thinking of doing similar and just removing the cans and leaving the heat shield in place as a way to hide the open/naked pipe while adding volume.
My mechanic suggested it's not worth it... the main cat that's located center of the motorcycle helps dampen the sound a bit... the heat shield is perfect so we might go with stainless steel straight pipe to meet the end of the heat shield and or cut the heat shield about 3 to 4 instance from the wide angle tip and then put a stainless steel pipe cut the tip 45° Plus the pipe is 50 mm wide very important.

Awesome Deano, they've already done it. Now we just have to get the guys to build one for the 21'-22'.Be nice for those of us just going slip-ons if someone could come up with pre-made X-pipe for factory header after cutting out Cat.
the gen 2 already has a brocks exh so i cant compare the stock headers mounted on the bike. i can take pics of the area around the oil pan and i do have a gen 2 oem header. what pic do u think u need?Awesome Deano, they've already done it.

If the welds are in the same adjoining locations, and you have 30mm to play with, it just might work !. Of course, a little ceramic coating on the pipe, and it'll fit right in with the 21'-22' black bike.
Does anyone have a Gen II, and a Gen III that could do the side by side measurements ?. Let's get a look at the pipe lengths, pipe diameters, and weld locations. With this kit, you'd still need Brock's 2-1 O2 sensor conversion.
