Cat/muffler question
Anyone have a picture of the softail baffles and catalytic converters? I’m curious if they’re welded together or two separate pieces.
I’m thinking about drilling/removing my stock baffles and adding thunder torque inserts.

Yep! My pipes colored just 10 miles into stage 1 tune with AC change and pipes opened up "straight thru" other than this blockage. During stage 1 upgrade I immediately removed my heat shields to watch for heat indicators (none at this time and 3k on bike with no mods). Then I removed the blockage as shown welded back together and sanded away the color (chrome heatshields cover it all anyway). Then after 300 miles and no coloring, I reinstalled my covers. And HD and others say NO restrictions.

Or better yet, look up a video of DK Customs where they cleanly cut the taper off of the back end and pull out the baffle. At this point you can destroy the converter with a flat wood bit, hole saw or something.

At this point you could use largest hole saw on each end and pull it out the back.
