what a PITA LOL! so because the gyms are now closed in Ohio i decided to put my energy into installing the VRSF catless dp. so there were quite a few issues i ran into. the 2nd nut bracket was really hard to get off because of how much room there was to work with. i eventually got it off but it did take some time. the 2nd was no matter what i do there just wasn't enough room to get the dp off with the exhaust still on. so that was the 3rd issue was removing the whole exhaust system including removing the lower brace bracket. once the exhaust was dropped it was just a matter of wiggling off the dp.
here she is flying high!
exhaust is down
and here's the OEM dp!
will post more progress pictures when i start reinstalling everything
