Does my new Ultra Classic have a catalyst?
I thought that only California bikes had a catalyst in the exhaust header. But recent forum posts lead me to believe that my east coast bike has one too. Can anybody verify that?
This could explain why the motor seems a bit choked at mid rpm's, and would guide my thinking about a Stage 1 upgrade that would include new headers.

2010 and up in the head pipe. All touring models and Trikes. Call the guys at Fuel Moto. I read nothing but good things on there head pipe.

All 2010 and newer touring models have cats. Plenty of threads describing options for removing or replacing head pipes. The most popular remedy is remove the cat, install stage 1 air cleaner, mufflers, and tuner with a canned map from Fuel Moto. Noticable difference in heat, sound and mid/high range performance. I left the stock mufflers on and like the sound, so no change in mufflers for me.

Got their pipe, cans, PC-V and air cleaner.
The hand TIG welding on the pipe is impressive. Fitment is perfect. Heat noticeably lower. Great sound and good performance upgrade
