use a brush to clean out the calipers??
does this help with brake dust? or is that inevitable?

it's inevitable really, but it doesn't hurt to clean the buildup.

clean stuff lasts longer.

The marginal performance benefits of being catless just don't compensate for the headaches it causes. Especially when you take into account how loud it'll be, the rasp, and smog inspection. I know you can just swap stuff back in, but it's still extra work.

i completely agree, but steve's run a few catless setups before, so he knows what he's getting into.

At Ft. Bragg, they still check your ID, and the scan it, and there is a log that shows whenever you leave and return to base.

I'm well aware; though the performance aspect isn't the slightest reason as to why I purchased a catless DP.

notice the extra flange and gasket

5 bolts, 10 minutes of my time, and my spare OEM dp is on for smog
