I am wanting to remove my CAT from my stock header ('11 Ultra LTD 103).

Has anyone used American Custom? Looks like they remove the CAT for not alot of dough ($170 after core?).

Just looking for any imput from thos who have used these guys.

Or, what other options do I have? Buy a stock '09 head pipe (probably a ga-zillion dollars from HD).

Was waiting for a header from Jamie, tells me it will be another week (was suposed to be today). Just weighing my options here.

 

Just wait for Jamies pipe. IMHO it's ok to gut the cat out of an '09 but I wouldn't on a '10 OR 11 due to sensor placement.

 

Oh, I thought the '09 didnt have the CAT in the head pipe, I thought it was in the slip-ons.

Man I hate waiting.....lol.

 

I got an '09 header pipe off here for a hundred bucks. No cat in there!

 

It was in the 09 CVO's.

 

Another option is to remove the cat yourself from your current head pipe.

I just did it last week...took 3 hours and was a bit of a pain...but so much better with it gone.

Did it right on the bike. Removed the shield, cut it open, drilled it out, dremel to clean it up, vacuumed a few pieces out, and welded it back up.

 

Can you just remove the cat without doing anything else or do you need a fuel manager?

 

There's no cat at all on the 09 bikes, except the California models.
