Default Catalytic converters in '06 Softail?

Hey friends. Does my 2006 Softail {non California model} have catalytic converters? I've done some research and I've found some no and some yes. Thinking it does not have them. Can anyone confirm. Thanks in advance.
Jeff

Btw, OEM slip-ons typically have that stuff printed (stamped) on themselves
