Default Screamin' Eagle High-Flow Exhaust System without

without Street Cannon Mufflers ?

Does someone make a slip-on's so I can use these SE headers and different mufflers and get rid of the cat ?

You would have to buy the whole system for 1200-1400 bucks. That would be some expensive headpipes. The mufflers would be worthless to sell as well. What would be the reasoning?

2017 Street Glide Special. Basic reasons are:

I like the look.
I'm wondering if they would fit best.
They were designed and tested on the motor development.
I don't see anything yet I like for exhaust.
I am just searching for the ideal exhaust that wont over exhaust and loose low end.

The FM headpipes sit under the stock heat shields. Probably performs better as well. The SE are designed to work with the mufflers and remain EPA compliant. The connection is proprietary so that people cannot use non compliant mufflers with it. As a system I had the SE on my last bike and it sounded and looked great, but it did not have the power that the Fuel Moto system I had before it had.

HD designed it so you either use the stock head pipe (cat in place) and any 2017 design aftermarket mufflers that matches up to it, or go with the SE headers (no cat) but doing so requires a special version of the SE street cannon muffler that contains the cat. (again, the cat has to live somewhere)

The SE header pipe (no cat) is designed in a way where you cannot install just any aftermarket muffler. otherwise people would go with the SE headers and purchase the optional SE street cannon mufflers that don't contain the cat in them, separately. This is how HD addresses that "workaround."

In order of power from highest to lowest is 2 into 1, 2-1-2, and last true duals. Do yourself a favor and call Fuel Moto up. They are knowledgeable and sell pretty much everything.

If you keep your stock head pipe, you keep the Cat. There are many aftermarket performance pipes out there. It really depends on what sound, look and performance you are looking for and everyone's opinion will likely differ. V&H, Drago's, RC, Jackpot, Bassini, SE and many more. Best bet is go to a local bike night and when you hear the sound and see the style you're looking for, ask the person that owns that particular scoot what his set-up is. It is too hard to capture good sound quality on YouTube. Just my two cents worth.

The Two BEST choices to use with stock heat shields would be Fullsac or Fuel Moto.
