    @revhard you said that your friend had removed the catcon of his RTR 180.Could you ask him to share the details of how it's done so that more people will know how to do it.
    Thanks in advance

      he's already sold the rtr and bought a new bike, unfortubnately we didnt take any pics the time when he was getting the catcon removed, you can ask ur tvs service center regarding the exact location of the catcon in the exhaust and the rest of the procedure should be similar to that for the r15's

        @HarishK:How does removing cat-con increased the mileage,does it makes the mixture leaner.Do we have to adjust it with the FID after removal.

        @all:Now that R15 V2 parts are easily available we can use it's muffler cover on our bikes and it will look cool too instead of that apache one which looks a bit ugly and will serve the purpose of hiding the welding place.

          Hi guys! After reading all above posts I'm very much excited to opt for either of these two modifications; that is either to go for 'Cat con'less exhaust or a FFE.

          I'm a proud owner of Yamaha R15 V1.0 and I've done 55k+ on it and its still the stock one, no any stock part replacement or modification except the graphics.

          My main focus is on a better average fuel efficiency/mileage and excellent top speed combination.
          So which modification will serve me the best, 'Cat con'less exhaust or a FFE?What will be their comparative Advantages and Disadvantages?

          Thanks!!!

            For bikes like rtr 180 do we have to adjust air fuel mix after removal?Its basically a free flow right but with muffler.And free flow needs tuning and upjeting..
            Anyone please share some info...

              Is it advisable to do the same on R15 V2? Anybody running R15 V2 with removed catcon. Please share your experience, also how to close the air induction system on the R15?
              I am back!
