Totally new to HD but a month ago I was walking by a 2021 Sport Glide and it talked to me so now it is mine. I wanted to keep it solo so it now has a Mustang solo seat with a backrest and some floorboards so this old fat guy stays comfy. I have You Tubed the crap out of this bike but not much on Sport Glides so here is the question.
I am thinking about removing the catalytic converter only but not sure where it is at or how to remove. Some say it is in the slip on (stock pipe) and some say at the end of the header pipe. I do not know so thought I would ask plus I did a seach on here and found nothing. All that means is if it is on here I did not word the seach with the right words.

My 1st post here so thanks for any help on this.
Some of the newer Softails have the CAT in the header just before the muffler, and some have it in the muffler....
I don't know for sure on your bike, but the newer bikes also use two sensors per pipe. One of which is usually immediately after the CAT.
The parts finder for your year/model shows a second sensor about midway through your muffler... so I'm going to guess your CAT is in the muffler...
NOTE: I just looked up the specs on your year/model bike. Per the Harley-Davidson specifications:
"EXHAUST: 2 into 1 ; catalyst in muffler"
So confirmed by HD specs, your CAT is in the muffler...
