  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Decatting the TE511 Muffler...

Aftermarket exhaust is even more impressive.

If I put the FMF muffler on my 12 TE 449 do I have to buy the power commander module. It says power up II I think on my display. My dealer said that the 12's came with the power up plug but the 2013's don't. I was told the plug was installed on my bike. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Cody

I cut my exhaust last night. It worked fine but I didn't realize that you needed to weld the flange back on. I bought an FMF today. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise. Ha ha
 
OP, what model year(s) does this procedure cover? I was under the impression that the TE has the cat in the mid-pipe?

What rivets did you use to put the muffler back together?

I have done this before and went with self tapping stainless machine screws and it was a nice finish.

I am actually going to order a cheap takeoff and do the decat too - if nothing else, top keep the bike running cooler as I feel like I am riding atop a nuke generator. If I screw it up, i am out $30-40 for an Ebay muffler! If it works, I will sell my old one...no risk that way. I have a strange way of turning simple projects like this into a giant catastrophe...
 
I just use the closest size aluminum pop rivet that Home Depot sells to reassemble cans. An nice pop rivet tool is a very handy thing and they dont cost much.

But screws will work; just try to avoid anything that might snag your gear....
