    Didn't @Lozzy say that Diane's SP's Racefit had a servo fitted at the same time?

    I’ve fitted the race fit growler on mine, didn’t touch the 02 sensor. I haven’t been out on it yet, will I need a servo eliminator? I didn’t put one on my 14 plate

    well Austin arrived today , very light , great quality , but I thought with it being a de cat exhaust I was expecting the o2 sensor to be taken out the standard cat and to screw into the Austin link pipe , which there is nothing or am I being thick , please tell me if I am , anybody else bought one of these for a 17 blade , thanks .

    Haven't others said the O2 sensor is further toward the headers and does not affect the link pipe? See post above re Di's bike.

    Yeah I think it' further forward so there is nothing to unscrew.

    As far as I'm aware, but I haven't looked into it properly but all I thought you needed was this?? So you unplug and remove the servo and plug this in its place? :) Screenshot_2019-02-25-19-01-54.png

    ive got one of the servo eliminators fitted , I just thought that you took the o2 sensor out the standard cat and screwed it into the Austin , but you don't so you leave the o2 sensor where it is , I thought that you would do this on a de cat exhaust . thanks anyway mate

    me to , the noise this was throwing out without any baffles in was unreal , but just a bit to loud for me as it would attract pc plod , so ive put both baffles so will hopefully get out over the weekend ,

    Think you’ll find you aren’t actually decating the bike as the cat is in the headers same as the 14-16 models

    yes that's what I saying about this , but for the 2017 - 2019 these are advertised as a de cat on austins web site , so basically its a slip on , so what headers would you need to fit this and get rid of the cat ?
