I cut out the catalytic converter on my '14 FLHTK today. I cut the window out, cleaned everything real good and then took it a welding shop that I use a lot. He charged me a coke to weld it back closed. The bike sounds so much better now and seems to have more power. I've got a Fuelpack FP3 tuner and Fuel Moto stage 1 a/c coming Wednesday. I can't wait to get it tuned and see how it does.

Got rid of my cat on my 2013 street glide. Put on a set of Rush Big Louie slip ons, screamin eagle tuner and performance machine air cleaner. Now it sounds and runs like it should have from the factory. You will definatly notice the difference

I've got V&H Twin Slash Rounds on it and it really woke them up. The bike sounds like a Harley is supposed to sound now. Not too loud....deep, throaty sound, but will bark when you get on it.
