Default Pic of Cat Converter Cut in Half 2011

I saw someone posted up a pic of a HD Catalytic Converter cut in half to expose the internals. Now I can't find it, but would like to share it with a friend that needs to think about what to do with his.

Could someone point me to it, or repost it?

Thanks.

(I have searched)

Yeah, I saw the photos and was intrigued by them. The thread that you are looking for( I think) is titled "Catalytic Converter 2010 Ultra. The pic is posted by "Texas Fat Boy" and is posted #4 on the thread. It is in the touring bike forum. I hope this helps.

If your friend feels like spending some quality time on a project it could be fun, however you can't beat the sound and flow design of new pipes.

Explains why the 96" motor makes the same power as the 88" motor.

Wow besides robbing power that does have to make it a heck of a heat collector.
