    I used the search and trawled through a ton of posts but couldnt find what I was looking for so..

    In the end of my new pipe, where you bolt it to the engine there is a cone shaped wotsit soldered in place. Is that the restrictor? is it safe for me to remove it?

    Cheers!

    How do I get that restrictor out? From looking at it, it appered to be soldered in place but my soldering iron does nothing to it.
