Guys has anyone took off the slip on off yet to look in that cat or chamber? what's in there honey comb? or is it an open chamber? if its open I may leave it on because from the left side the it fits the shape of the oil pan nicely. with it off it might look funny from that side. But I don't want it restricting anything. I plan on looking in there this weekend but wanted to see if anyone has looked yet?

Havent't looked,but isn't that canister a flow deal,purely for noise emission?It has that butterfly in there that moves according to power output and all.I think the 'cat' is in the muffler?

Yeah,I'm not sure either what's actually in there.I thought the H2R pipes were like they are because with that model,noise wasn't gonna be a limiting factor.Or a cat.They do call it a 'preflow chamber' or something right?Preflow to...the muffler and the cats in there...????

I think 'preflow' means going to the mufflers.I don't think there's a cat in there,only some finning or something.I'm no engineer,but I can't see why they would have a valve controlling airflow if there was a catalyzer(in there) doing that.My pipe right there is getting a blue tinge to it,so apparently there's something there to restrict the flow somehow.The chamber itself is staying nice and gold colored.

Man I hope your right because it would look a lot better if we can leave it on there.....

Seeing as how the Akrapovic slip-on is EC, EPA, CARB, and ECE compliant, I would wager the cat is in the pre-flow chamber. That being said, I've been wrong before.
