Hi Mate and welcome to the forum.

I have the 4C8 and have decatted mine and fitted Two Brothers, previous to that i gutted my standard cans and fitted the A&R baffles, they lasted about a month before i removed them, a tad to loud for my liking, didn't take long before i decided to remove the cat, the heat that comes off it is unreal

Good luck with finding the right cans.

To be honest the louder the better.. I was to have a m4 on my gsxxr and that was very loud but I liked it!! [emoji5]️

I think I will put the race baffles in due to cost and standard look.

Can I ask what benefits do you get from a decat is it mainly improving air flow and reduce heat?? Does a decat make a big difference on sound?

Just by chance do you still have your race baffles [emoji16]

The decat gives you less heat and weight loss but to get the most out of it power wise you need a Flash/remap.

I can help mate. I have a re baffled set of cans on mine which are coming off soon as my full system is nearly ready.

All done by a professional ready to go9 and sound awesome. With a decat and a flash it will run very well and sound apocalyptic.

I think I probably have a spare bmc race filter too.

If you want pics there should be a few in my project log.

Welcome.
