Save your money and do it correctly with a performance set of pipes and tuner. That cat in there is dialed in to the ECM, you'll end up with loud, no back pressure, no performance, issues removing the cats.

Wasn't wondering because I was going to remove them. I was just looking at slip on's or full system and wondering where the cat was if I just did slip on's

Tuner when you change out stock pipes, stage one it. My two cents.

I did slip ons for my 16 deluxe, went with the Vance and Hines FP3 for fuel management, The FP3 was very easy to set up and it does not have to stay on the bike.

I am considering using slip ones. If the cat was in the header I would not cut it out. I was just trying to find out where it is.
Thats what I really mean.....
