09 Touring model Catalyst
09 Touring model Catalyst
Hello, I get a few emails a day asking about the catalyst on the 09 Touring models so I thought I would post some info. The only 09 Touring models that have a catalyst in the heapipe are the 09 California models, CVO models, and bikes manufactured for international export. This can also be verified on page 30 of your owners manual for the 09 bike as noted:
CATALYTIC CONVERTER: TOURING MODELS
Touring motorcycles manufactured for international and California markets have a catalytic converter in the exhuast pipe collector.

Jamie,
So a good set of slip on pipes is all we need to enhance performance? I have been told the headers on the 09's perform like a two into one, is this correct?
Hoping to have my SG in a few weeks. Then waiting for you to have the PCV's available for it.
Thanks!

Yes, pray tell.
I'm one of those California 09 Ultra owners who would love to pull this off if possible.
Any change to performance?
Can the O2 sensors and ECM adapt to the change, or is a dyno remap required?

Jamie,
As far as you comments above, does this also hold true to the California bike's? I personelly don't see how these header's can flow very well at all with the catalyst design as it is. Rich

We have not done any testing on CA models, but we have someone in CA that is going to do some testing for us. Also note on several of the Japanese bikes we have tested before/after removing the cats on several of them there were only marginal performance gains and many catalysts in the automotive world work very well, so only time will tell

With that being said...I'm interested in a non Cali header pipe if anyone has one available.
