Re: Catalytic converter

["cbybee" <cbybee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric,

I live in Colorado but picked up my Speed Triple in Los Angeles, and I was
told (and my research seems to bear it out), that the vapor recovery
/charcoal canister and the "catalytic block" are the only differences in the
California models versus the rest of the U.S. My dealer here said that there
is no difference in F.I. tune for the California models, and that by my
adding the "race can", I pretty much eliminated any performance penalty that
I might have had.  I believe the catalytic block is located in the exhaust
header and that you would have to replace that component in order to remove
it. I think all this is the same for ST's as well.
