From what I know there is no cats on a 2006. I know my 2007 1200 did not have any cats. On the newer big tiwns there is a cat in the front head pipe, but not ever sure if the new sportys have them?
There NO catalytic converters in ANY sportster models up to and including the 2012 model year*.
*Except apparently for California and International models, this is new information to me as of this thread (see pics later which clearly show a cat in the pipes).

If anyone can tell me how to post pictures I'll be glad to try. I don't know if I can get a picture of inside pipe but I can what is stamped on the pipes. Just trying to learn since this is my first Harley. And whatever it is looks awful restrictive. Thanks for any help.
