I have an 11 Road King 103 with TW222 cams, Rhinehart 4" slipons, PCV with Autotune. I have an 09 headpipe from California so it has the cat and the larger bungs to accommodate the Autotune O2 sensors.Prior I had a decatted pipe with same setup less the Autotune and it was a little too loud(on my ears). I never really had a heat issue with the cat. My oils temps were always 250-270 in the summer (90+ temps) regardless of a cat or not.

I have a stock 103 Street Glide that I've run with Rinehart 4" slip-ons for the last 7K miles. No problems functionally, and the sound improvement was drastic. The wife complained about the heat on her foot so just went ahead yesterday with the SE AC and V&H Dresser Duals with a Cobra tuner.
I would have been happy enough with just the slip-ons though.

I am running head pipes from a 2011 or 2012 street glide, cat in. I bought them off of a member here.... The 2010 glide came with a 2 into 1 set up, which I hated.....so I am running stock headers with Vance and Hines slip ons. The bike has never skipped a beat, runs great.
