Got rid of that restrictive and heat generating cat in the stock exhaust!I used a stock 1994 Harley 1200 Sportster slip on.With a little welding and making a correct adapter to fit the 1 3/8 stock pipe,the heat is reduced,motor sounds happier[very slight increase of exhaust note],and feels a bit better off idle.No back-firing,does not seem to be running lean at all.I'm stoked!

Sweet. Can you add a video? Does anyone know if a video can be posted in the comments or does it have to be a link to YouTube? Or Facebook?

I made the turn down tip and added it later.The sound is very,very close to stock,slightly deeper tone.Much less heat build-up with the cat gone.Machine runs great,cuts back on that detonation sound we hear under load.

Could'nt say for sure.I took it off my 1994 Sportster 1200 when it was brand new.It is one of the 2 oem mufflers that came stock on the bike.I'm sure that there are plenty of 90's motorcycle take-offs out there that may work as good as this does.No cat but still pretty quiet.I used to put them on cheaper loud generators all the time.
