Default stock exhaust question

As soon as I get home I will be installing the thunder header onto my 2010 WG. My question is what do I do about the "valve" inside of the stock exhaust? I was looking through the manual and it looks like there is some kind of flapper vlave in there if I correct (or at least half correct). I asume I get take off the stock pipe, and cable that goes to the valave and just disgreaurd it?

You should have no valve. Only the European bikes have it.

Did you buy a European specification motorcycle? The valve/cable are part of the "active exhaust system" introduced in 2007 for European big twin Harleys and Harleys sold in the USA do not have the "active exhaust."

If you bought a USA spec Harley, ignore that "active exhaust" stuff in your manual - you don't have it.

I know the feeling... I have a D&D Fat Cat that I need to install...I'll hopefully get it on on the next week or two. Did you buy new exhaust gaskets? I picked up a couple of the SE ones.
