Yes
with some time. + lots, or almost all bolts in titanium.
Next week we get going on an custom exhaust system since there is nothing available
Where all the European exhaust manufacturers????

Outstanding work, I have a couple of questions if you won't mind.
Where did you get the material you used?
I see you did it to an S, how does the DTC handles this modification?
You have good skills, kip it up!

I know I could take the cans apart, but could you better describe how you put them back together? did it require welding? and where did you get the carbon fiber tube? I have been thinking about doing this exact thing,, shortening them and all.. but no termi sticker.

Hi La Rossa
I sourced the material from a local supplier. They are available on the internet however the lads did make me the stepped pieces to go from the perforated tube to the tube that held the cat.
Its just a case of taking your time to do it , I think i have probably taken more time that it takes termi to make them.
I was not impressed with the build quality of the one on my 999, thats why i ditched it for a zard.
As for the DTC i cant see how the cans wouls affect it as i was under the impression this is taken care of by the front & rear sensors ? Or am i talking shite ?

Hi MateI know I could take the cans apart, but could you better describe how you put them back together? did it require welding? and where did you get the carbon fiber tube? I have been thinking about doing this exact thing,, shortening them and all.. but no termi sticker.
If you check the pics , when you drill out the top end, you have to tap it around as it comes out as that big copper tube.
Then drill out the bottom, The cat is in there. I drilled it out by going around the outside of it with a 20mm bit & then [email protected] it out with a hammer & chisel.
Next grind the copper cyl about 2 inch from the end & drill out the end of it with a holesaw.Then start to mate it all up to get the length of the perf tube correct.
Then put it back together using steel wool around the perf tube first, then 1 1/2 pieces of wadding , then some foil to stop the carbon going brown.
Just a case of brute force to push together whilst drilling & rivetting.
I have no welder but could have probably saved time tacking stuff up if i had one.
There you have it all done
Then its a case of building it up

The only problem is that one of the things you are removing is the warranty.

Top job mate...very well done and looks great. The first real exhaust modifier on the planet?? It would be great to hear a sound clip but I assume it is way loud! Thanks for posting and tell your mates on the other forum we are impressed!

.. well I may wait 2 years. but IF I can do this and keep it still looking stock.. I may do it anyway (maybe omit the carbon and keep the black metal)

I,m sure my nice dealer will sort me out, he owes me a few favours so ner. Anyway will Termis not do the same ? or Zard, or Akrapovic.
The first thnig anyone does even the dealers is stick a great set of boom boxes on .

Termi's retain the factory warranty status. I doubt most dealers would give you static about any other aftermarket, but DIY jobs, I wouldn't bet on it. Like blawrence said, just wait two years then it won't matter. I'd at least hold off until the "flat spot" issues (fuel mapping or whatever ends up being the culprit) gets worked out anyway because I wouldn't risk it.
