Removal of the right floor board makes it easier
is a must be , the change does not work without removing it (was my experience).

Which tool do you mean ?
Do not drill a hole into the cat , do remove it complete , otherwise you will remove it anyway and this will cause a second job for you , believe me , you won`t be satisfied with just drilling it out , i was neither .

Agreed Klaus, but starting out by drilling it maybe Bigmegina's way to start his mods. good hands on project, and besides, I got one of those tools (bits) taking up space in my tool box.

Why waste your time with a half band aid solution that only gets one side of the pipe. Remove the header (simple job) and cut out the cat or have any fab or body shop cut it for you. Cut a rectangular window on the outside of the pipe under the chrome shield after its removed and have fun with a screwdriver and pliers...then weld the window back in place! The whole job is about 3 hours. Ceramic coating is a good option and will reduce heat, make a bit more power and stop any corrosion. :drink:

CVO bikes, CA bikes, HDI bikes only for '09, the other 49 state bikes do not. ALL '10 bikes have 'em.

Yep, all Touring 2010's, all in the header pipe.
There are now two different head pipes, one for dual exhaust, one for single exhaust, Road Glide

Not quite sure about the HDI models, didn't really look at the parts book that close, but, you can be sure that they all have cats.

Sure the HDI do have Cats and it is sure that they do not have a single muffler , they all will have dual exhaust , otherwise they could not be able to handle the sound-problem with their soundmanagement-system .

Thanks to Tom, I killed another Cat!  This one is in my RG.  I am stationed in Germany and Tom sold me his drill bit.  Couldn't get one over here. I do notice it is alittle louder (deeper sounding) and I do notice a little power on the top end. They have noise limits here so this will get me through my tour and when I get back to Spokane WA with my RG I will do something different.

Thanks for the post!
