Um...holy crap....that is DEFINITELY a catalytic converer in your pipes!!???
This goes against pretty much every expert on these bikes who insists that harley has never put a cat in their pipes.
I know in my 2012 iron, there was absolutely no cat, because I checked when I swapped out the stock mufflers for my CS slip ons.
This is the first time I have ever seen or heard about this.
Could her bike have originated in California? I know that they have the strictest emissions standards in the nation, so for all I know HD has to do that to sell bikes there???
This is crazy, we need cHarley or some other expert to come in here and help sort this out.

Since 2010 all Harley bikes have a catalytic converter. The touring bikes have it in the headpipes along with the fatbob and wide glide. All other models have the cat it in the muffler.
California passed a law that goes into effect in 2013 where on brand new bikes you can not modify your exhaust unless the replacement is stamped epa approved. Baggers, having the cat in the headpipe will still be able to change slip-on mufflers. All models with the cat in the muffler, will not be able to make any exhaust changes that are not epa approved/stamped.

My 2012 Iron does not have cats in the pipes at all, I'm dead sure because I had my pipes off recently.
