The gtpartes kit includes a replacement D plate and a plug-in cat removal chip engineered to mimic the converter temperature probe, preserving ECU compatibility while enabling the benefits of a freed exhaust path.\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is precision-built for Yamaha 1200cc personal watercraft models that use the PV 66V electronic layout. It’s offered as a direct-fit component to replace OEM part numbers and to integrate cleanly with stock or modified CDI units, providing a straightforward mechanical replacement and electronic simulation in one package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this kit fit my Yamaha GPR, XL or XLT 1200?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gtpartes set is designed for a range of Yamaha 1200 PWC models using the PV 66V platform from the late 1990s and early 2000s.
