I'm glad that I removed mine! I do miss the heat on cold rides but the sound is so much better especially after adding a tuner as well.

Thanks for the replies. I have learned a lot since I found this site.
I'm going to remove the cat and add XIEDS.

For about $20 more you can get the Vieds which are adjustable to some degree. For a few hundred more, you can get a real tuner (PV, TTS, SEPRT) and get closer dialed in, AND have something that can grow with your mods if/when you do them.

You don't mention an A/C. Changing this out will add more performance bang for your buck.

I don't like cats. No cat here and it sounds better runs better and a lot cooler on my legs. JMO

Gutted mine two years when I bought my SG 2011, reduced heat, ok sound, but couldnt get it to run good.Added the Vieds, still the same.Pcv and better throttle response but not what I thought how it should run.Got rid of the PCV and just rode with vieds,then last month I installed Cobra Power Port headers to the exsisting setup.Wow what a difference,way better throttel response, smoother ride, very nice Harley rumble and better mileage..If I could id kick myself in the *** for not doing this in the beginning.Keep your OEM header and get an aftermarket one, you wont regret it.
