Can I suggest that you do a search on 'Y-pieces' and then get ready for an evening reading on the subject!!

I'll 2nd that.
I found I didn't have to disconnect the something under the seat after 3 coffees and a while of reading
The lambda probe is the thing to take care with tho.
That being said, fitting it was a piece of the proverbial, it was joining the std can onto it that took the longest
Still pops occasionally - always when there's people around too

I fitted one yesterday. I had been advised that it was possible to remove the Lamba probe without disconnecting it. Rather than unscrewing the prob and twisting the wire, unscrew the Y piece itself. I didn't like that idea of that so I took off the tank and unplugged the wire to the lamba prob.
All was straight forward, except that I had to use some heat on the cat casing to get the prob to undo. Without heat I couldn't get it to shift.
All back together and sounds nice.

Re: pipe
Joe,
From what I remember, you either disconnect the Lambda probe from up top, under the seat, or just wind the wire it as you remove it, counting the turns, then make sure it screws back in the same number of turns when you replace it, so the sable is not twisted.
Did that and have had no problems.
Seriously, it's worth taking the time to read the threads, so you're happy what you're doing (and like me, learn something)

...I think the magic word you are looking for is "cat code plug". This lives in the fuse box and is a different colour for different fuel maps. Mine runs happily without one, at the expense of slightly reduced tank range. Try a search on "cat code plug" and all will be revealed.
Don't forget to reset the Moronic brain if you change any settings.

Paragon, think you me "Joe" rather than me 
I didn't do anthing with the cat code plug at all. I just undid the probe on the catalyser, counted the number of turns, kept it "wound" and then replaced it - that was all.
Joe, if you read the threads you'll see comments about removing it/not removing it. I really would follow all the advice and spend the time reading the threads. Last thing you want to do is cock it up and end up spending lots of money getting a dealer to sort it out for you.
Bike runs absolutely fine. Also just had a 12k svc and nothing reported back on it.
If you're buying the y-piece from the dealer, maybe get them to throw in fitting?
