THat is such a small cat, it must be stiffling. Not surprised you have experienced more torque and power. I'd like to increase the exhaust pipe diameter throughout, and put a more throaty, thumpy muffler on it. The OEM is quiet with light throttle, but cracks on load. 4 strokes should thump, not "crack"

No complaints on power delivery, but more exhaust flow and a proper large bore muffler will make it sound like it should.
