Newbie question, but where is the cat located in the stock headpipe? I have those exact slipons also, thought they were to quite, so I took them off and apart, got to the baffles and cut about 1 1/2" off each one, not the best thing to do i'm sure but it did make them louder and rumble more at idle and at throttle.

I have the same setup on my SG, my thoughts exactly.

First, it's only the California and Screamin' Eagle 110 bikes that have the catylitic converters. It is located in the header directly after both head pipes converge. You no, even when the cat is removed I think it just maybe the design of the header pipe that quiets things down. Vance and Hinds has a True Dual header pipe, not the Power Duels but a straight thru dual system that I think I might give a try, I'll leave a link, tell me your thoughts....Rich

+1 Get rid of the stock header pipes and put on true duals, that will wake them up.
