Cats....you mean baffles? You can pull those out. Worst case, just get some LAF drag pipes.

On Touring bikes, at least my 2014 and my buddies 2019, the catalytic converter was in the head pipe at the chamber. I cut my head pipe open and took the cat out, welded it back up and painted it to prevent rusting. I then gutted the stock baffles and put fullsac 2.5” baffles in them.
With the cats in the mufflers on softails, the easy answer is to replace the mufflers with non-cat mufflers. But I really wanted the Big Radius but then found out they are now manufactured with catalytic converters in them.
Thank you the riser I believe are 1 inch they arent pullback either and it really makes a difference I would recommend it

Sorry for confusing post, I meant catalytic converter. From my understanding, they are in the mufflers on the Softails.

Not confusing... I know that cat is short for catalytic converter. What I'm saying is that big radius pipes don't have cats or mufflers...they have removable baffles. The 2-into-1 VH pipes have a more robust baffle system, but none of them have catalytic converters in the sense you are thinking.

I had Bassani Pro Streets on my Night Train years ago and they were killer sounding and performed very well on my engine build. I haven’t looked at their products in years…guess I need to take a look at their current offerings.
thanks
