does anyone know if i can get the classic harley sound from my stock head pipes? i was told i have a catalytic converter not sure it does but it sure looks like one would be in there.

 

it's there right where the two pipes come together just before they split again for the mufflers

 

I would recommend just changing out the pipes. I just put a different set of pipes on my 2011 streetbob. No more leg burns, and it runs much better. the stock pipes weigh a ton as well. Heavy as a boat anchor for sure. if you have to keep your stock head pipes for whatever reason vance and hines , bub, cycle shack, all make great slip ons. I have not used the S&S slip ons so I dont know how well they work.

 

Just changed my pipes out as well, both wrap up by the foot peg and all that heat right there was murder.
Rush slip ons sound good though.
