looks nice man! How come you decided to keep so much emissions stuff? I see an EGR, BPT, secondary butterfly actuators, and a whole mess of unnecessary vaccum lines on the back of your head. You can just get rid of all that crap mang! Its just clutter on a KA-T!

Hmm I didnt know that you could just remove it. What all can I remove safely and how do I do it, just remove and plug or what. Thanks

before:

after: soo much cleaner. the red circled thing is the pair valve thingy i think its called. anyway it just flaps the intake butterfly's to help your idle out. but when going ka-t it free's up some flow in the intake by removing it.
