Cat Remove

Use a 1inch x 16 paddle bit from Lowe's and a good drill. Remove the pipe and take out the o2 sensors and hold on tight as it's tough to drill. I hooked up a shop vac. to the other port on the pipe so as not to breath the dust from drilling. Works well and have done several this way.

You can also buy a head pipe from American Customs exhaust.
 
I did not see that you are in mass , I have a few gutted head pipes you can have one if you want to come get it ? exit 8 mass pike , let me no .
 
Wild pig head pipe

Call wild pig pipes in Florida, they will sell you a de catted head pipe foe 100 dollars, well worth it, they do quality work, have one for mine, very happy with it.
 
I bought a used head pipe from a local dealer for $50.00, took it home and strapped it down to a wooden rail and wailed on it with a hammer and a piece of 2" wide by 1/4" thick flat bar and in a couple hours I had the cat fully removed from the outlet side of the pipe. No cutting nor welding done just a little more noise.

+1 I just installed de-catted pipes from Wild Pigs on my 2020 Tri Glide. Fast deliver and fits perfectly. Also think about wrapping the pipes. There is lots of articles, why to do this besides it will help on the heat.
 
Wrapping made a huge difference for us. I did it when I changed handle bars and needed a longer clutch cable, worth the time and effort. Fred

I just checked I have one that looks like a new take off , we cut a door out in the side off the cat remove the catt with a grinder. weld it back together, what year do u have ?
 
Not very difficult

I bought a used stock header on Ebay. Used sharpie to mark cut lines. Cut both ends of cat area with a hack saw (about 8"apart) about a third of the way through. Used an edge grinder along one side only. Folded out the flap and removed cat material with a chisel. Took to a local muffler shop and had them weld back together and dress off ($15.). I made the mistake of using high temp primer to cover but it peeled in a few months.
 
wonder if the cats inside is worth anything. you can sell autos for around 100. bucks.

I de catted one ... took forever with a carbide but and a 1/2" hammer drill ... maybe two hours, just seemed like forever. I took the platinum out, maybe a half cup ... nobody here in Grand Junction wanted it ... ended up playing with it and a torch ... maybe 30 minutes, then boredom set in and I chucked it.
