Exhaust Question?

Hi new here and just bought a 2009 street glide was wandering if the cat can be removed from the pipe? If so would there be any performance gains Idid not want a 2-1 pipe nor true duals, was wandering with the cat removed and after market slip-ons and a pc5 installed how it would run?

fullsac did a test on '09 headers with and without the cats and found no difference in performance until your build was capable of making 90+ hp.

Cats

Only 2009 bikes sold in California have cats in them. If your bike is from Indiana there are no cats. On the other hand all 2010s have cats.
