Thank you for this video! I would have liked to see more of the process but after watching this I will definitely try it myself on my 2017.

[@dlusk916]

Super easy! I used a long 1" spade bit and a shop vac while still on the bike. The material is really pretty soft.

[@InHimwillitrust]

Sounds awesome not too loud but loud enough. Can you send me the link showing me how to remove the cat? Thx

Any o2 sensor lights I mean check engine light?

[@cgasu0311]

Curious, once you get a holes or two in the cat is it easier to pull out, or just a serious of holes to break it up? How did you clean out the pipe after you got the cat out?

[@rsanchez5676]

Did you loose any bottom end or performance

[@harleystreetglide1576]

Well show it, did you video it?

[@levialston518]

What about the O2 sensors how does this effect the ecu?

[@chrisl.7345]

Only way to go,… did it myself 👍🏻

[@eddiealvarez5493]

Did you have your Hog remap?

[@Mikeityourself]

Appreciate the vid, just starting looking into this to help with the heat. Im rocking a stage 1 setup so curious to see if I get any additional gains. I assume you left the sensors in while you drilled out the cat? No concern with possibly hitting them? For the auger, just like the $25 bit from Home Depot? Much appreciated.

[@Xworks22]

Thanks yea it helped big time with the heat the cat used to get so hot it yellowed the chrome on th slip on pipe. no there's no sensors to damage and yes just a simple long drill bit to break all the cat material then just pull the chunks out with long needle nose plyers . the bike runs way happier without the cat plugging up the exhaust

[@briancraig8233]

Did you retune it

[@TheGroundhogkiller]

Sounds good! Are they stock handlebars? I was checking out your phone mount.. there's no room. If so can you tell me which Ram mount and do you have a better picture please

[@Xworks22]

Thanks 👍Yea stock handlebars but I'm changing them soon it's just a ram mount with handlebar clamp I think I got it on Amazon I got it when I first bought the bike in early 2020

[@TheGroundhogkiller]

Thanks. There's no room for a phone mount. 1st I've seen mounted to the bars

[@knoxlogic82]

This is my question! LOL This is a horrible video explaining what to do! haha

[@stevelove1560]

Hi, Just seen your great vid. Did you remove the pipes when you removed the cat or did they remain on the bike? Thanks

[@Xworks22]

Removed the slip ons mufflers then you can see inside the header pipe with a flash light and you'll be able to see the cat

[@stevelove1560]

[@horsedaddy230]

So now thats its been awhile, did you have to tune it ? Or just pull the cat ?

[@Xworks22]

Never did a tune it's runs great people say you should but it's not necessary

[@joehansen4889]

Did have to tune it? I have a stage 1 on my 2020 Street Glide.

[@Xworks22]

No not necessary runs like it should if anything it runs a little better than stock but some people say you should tune it

[@justinpitt8917]

Will this cause a check engine light to come on if there is an O2 sensor?

[@Xworks22]

No it will not do that the o2 sensor is before the cat

[@Luckky-13]

Did you notice any loss of back pressure or loss of horsepower or torque?

[@Xworks22]

No loss if anything it feels more of a gain

[@a.r.o7697]

The correct way to delete a cat off a Harley is to buy a 2 into 1 exhaust with no catalyst. In addition to that, buy a tuner. It's expensive, but it's the right way to do it. Your ECU will adjust for about 10% of change in the air to fuel ratio but since you took out the catalyst; it's off and will need to be adjusted.

[@ridered7394]

Simply not true for m8 engines, dk customs did a dyno video about full exhaust and intake with no tune

[@Scoobydue420]

@@ridered7394 do you even tune? You’re verifiably wrong, from a Harley mechanic….

[@ArmeroPR]

@@Scoobydue420 Agreed! I did a 2020 RG and a 2023 SG. Both Stage 1's. Both needed proper tunes, especially the one we did V&H big radius exhaust. It wouldn't even idle for more than 10 seconds without shutting down the entire ecm. Later model M8's behave differently than older Harleys and you have to know what you're doing. Removing cats might benefit from less heat but you might actually lose power. They also run super lean without a tune.

[@Steve-qn8gn]

This is not true, the cat has nothing to do with a/f ratios. The sensors are before the cat.

[@dsnutzzz4567]

No u don’t need to tune it all it achieved was getting rid of the heat that radiates from the cat It had no effect on the way the bike performs and it will change the sound very little it’s been dyno tested and proven

[@derfskittlers6125]

I dont know about this one. So you just drilled a big hole thru the 2" catalytic material? Probably made a huge mess inside there.

[@Xworks22]

Simply drilled out all the material it falls apart in pieces until it's clear ...no hole or mess or welded patched up exhaust

[@derfskittlers6125]

Ah ok, so you did clear out all the material. Thanks.

[@christalcott1832]

Any popping on deaccelaration?

[@Xworks22]

No not at all

[@stevenmelleny3398]

Did you have to buy a tuner for it?

[@Xworks22]

No if it's just exhaust but if you do the air filter you should get it tuned it will still run ok and safe to ride but if you want the most out of it

[@stevenmelleny3398]

@@Xworks22 ok Mine is stock housing but I bought a k&n filter. I'm cheap and don't want to spend money for a tuner

I wonder how it would sound with stock pipes and a decat?

[@Xworks22]

Probably sound good 👍

[@BdeSimon]

Isnt the cat in the header pipes on the stock exhaust?

I live in South Florida it's hottt the cat delete really helped and also id say 75% of the bikes at your local bike meet don't have catalytic converters

Dude! You never explained how you did it? LMAO - "I bought this auger bit from HD! It was easy". How did you do it? Steps? Would appreciate an actual video explaining this. Thanks!

[@Xworks22]

It's pretty straight forward just need to remove the slip ons and once you do that you can see the catalytic converter inside the header pipe then you just use your bit to crunch it and drill it out in pieces and you can clear the whole pipe once it's completely round clean it up as best as you can put your slip-ons back on and now you have no cat

[@pwmabry1]

Do you live in FL? I would like to see you do it on my bike for payment of course. 🙂

[@Xworks22]

It's pretty easy to diy but if you're down this way I can do it for you

[@InHimwillitrust]

How did you remove it ?

[@Xworks22]

You don't remove the cat only the rear exhaust slip on after you do that you can see the inside the cat then just proceed to drill into it and it falls apart easily and you can remove the chunks till its nice and clear
