Cat Remove
How do I remove the cat on my 2016? I only want to remove it for the heat. Does anyone have some pipes they want to sell?
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.

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.Originally Posted by Colleydog

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

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.

I also have a de-catted head pipe from my 2011 TriGlide that will fit. Lemme know if you need it.
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.
I know it was last year but if you still have the 16 head pipe without the cat, yes I want it. I'll pay for shipping and what you may want. Please let me know.
I have one I'M in palmer mass, mass pike exit 8 come get it its yours .
Thank You, I'll give you a call next week.
