    the BITCH red stumpy has just had 6 puppies  only 1 week old ,  all halls hellers so we have  9 stumpies here ,do you want too buy 1 ,

    i have done this mod to the exh  before a few times ,   you straight cut across the guts very neat  it's a bit hard too clean out  because there  glued in  but you can do it no prob's just clean all the old glue out proper  , the cat  metal is worth scrap $ like 50-80 bucks  , do not breath the dust wear a mask , then tig weld neat  & narrow i just paint a thin strip of silver paint  down the weld  & screw the chrome cover  back on,    you would never know . or you can buy a yankie model header pipe they do not have the pussy cat in there header buy they could be 500-700 buckaroonies,

     don't forget too wear a mask, & clean out the glue stuck to the inner walls  wire brush on a drill etc i polish in there  smooth with sandpaper scrolls & finnish off with very fine with some kero, you might have to re-tune the bike it might come out a bit lean mixture that will make her run hot ,            our puppies will be on the trading post  & the land newspaper.com next week we start to add  them @ 2 weeks old  & take dep 1st so by the time 8 wks are here we make sure the people still want them or i give the dep back too make sure they go to good homes etc ,     just like you would not sell your bike to someone who could not look after it , 

    these dogs are the true stumpytailed halls heelers as they have some dingo in the breed, my males grandpappy was a 100% dingo  both dogs are from working farms , very keen & loyal the last lot 5 out of 7 went to farms as pets  & watch dogs we have had reds since 1983 we spoil them as the puppies a born in the lounge room in the basket & the mum is hand feed  the puppies are very fat & strong
