Kawasaki z1000SX Decat exhaust upgrade

In this video I removed the catalytic unit from my motorbike, I chose to do this because of the excessive heat it creates. I did put the silencers back into the pipe, otherwise its really loud.
Thanks for watching!

nice job and great sound!

[@MrOkiparker]

That's excellent, going to go and try that for my 2018 z1000sx

[@Juanma23b]

Beautiful bike, congratulations 🙏🏻

[@LifeofChihiro]

Awesome job!!

[@GuiGuIXOx]

Nice just found this video its very cool but one question do the OEM hexaust fit on this Y pipe ? because i like the look with original hexaust pipe

[@sameerraja5836]

Great video, I have the same bike and trying to make it louder, do I need to flash the ECU or remap the fuel in Power Commander after installing this decat mod? Does this mod affect the engine since there is less backpressure in the exhaust system?

[@clninjarider17]

I would recommend get the ECU flashed. They will delete the O2 sensors and some other tweaks to get the full horsepower.

I put a lextek 4 into 1 on mine with a black widow can. Sounds really aggressive.

[@yellowbearworks2535]

This is exactly I was looking for, thank you! A quick question: did you notice a better fueling response (engine revs more freely)?

[@Bikerrep]

Yes, there is a slightly better response. I actually forgot to include in the video that there is a filter element further on in the pipe you have to remove to truly get an open pipe system. I did just that, there's more noise, the bike feels stronger and definitely reacts more aggressive

@@Bikerrep Thank you Oliver!

[@aleksandarbotic979]

Did you notice the bike pulling better, i heard you get better airflow, which results in more hp gane and better pull? Good job

What mic covers do you use? Great Wind canceling

Hello Oliver! Gran trabajo. Me ayudarías con el link para la compra exacta de Y pipe? Saludos desde Chile

[@Bikerrep]

It’s from dominator , dominator.pl/en_GB/p/Z-1000-SX-Exhaust-Cat-Eliminator-DECAT-2014-2016/2129

[@vvulchev]

do you need to change the ECU software after removal?

[@Bikerrep]

Nope, just be sure to keep the sensor intact.

[@pinnacle_moto]

So I'm half way through doign this. I cut ion the same place but inside the downpipe side that I'm keeping there is a lot of honey comb baffle inside the exhaust. Did you remove this?

[@Bikerrep]

Yep that’s normal, going towards the header there’s still filter element in the pipe. This you have to remove with a chisel/hammer, a drill or anything that can break the honeycomb structure without damaging the pipe. It’s pretty cooked in there so it can be a bit tedious to get it out, take your time! (Of course you should have the entire exhaust removed from the bike when doing this so that you don’t trap debris inside)

[@pinnacle_moto]

@@Bikerrep Thanks mate. Got it out and will put the bike back together tomorrow.

[@motology7905]

Hi did You have to put a gasket between decat and headers pipes?

[@Bikerrep]

exhaust paste, the decat comes with a slip on clamp system

[@pip-boy6262]

Damnn

[@pinnacle_moto]

Hi mate, do you have a link to the pipes you used and how are they 1.5 years on ?

[@Bikerrep]

Check out Dominator, they are situated in Poland. The middle pipes are solid and won’t disappoint!

[@brianmcnicoll5337]

Why was the heat from the cat a problem???????

[@xDreadheadx]

Causes heat soak quicker.

[@NoTime1407]

Hello Oliver, great bike, loved the sound after🔥🚀. By any chance can you list the link where you got the decut system if you don’t mind. I’d love to do the same on my 2014 z1000sx. I can’t seem to kind them. Thanks 🙏 I’m Advance.

@@Bikerrep thanks alot. Really appreciate it.

[@manuelgerena817]

Did you get any codes on dash

[@Bikerrep]

Nope

[@sacheta1979]

And for MOT?

[@Bikerrep]

In Netherlands there is no MOT. But if there’s one I would fail. The Cat is a filter for the exhaust gasses, without it pollutes more.

[@MrOkiparker]

Not applicable in the UK now we are not in Europe.

[@GreenDovesIRL]

@@MrOkiparker Did the UK get rid of the MOT when they left the EU? In Ireland there isn't any yearly inspections at all.
