To foxy foxy: Motorcycles don't have catalytic converters. Don't offer advice if you don't know what you are talking about.

To hell with legal, when was the last time you saw a cop pulling over a bike to look at the exhaust? If your baffles are removeable you have two choices. drill the baffles with numerous holes for some more noise but keeping some back pressure for good combustion or remove them all together and get power cones that drop in near the heads for some back pressure. There are hundreds of other pipes besides screaming eagles. (they are overpriced). Just look in any J&P cycle catalog or Dennis Kirk and you will find lots of different kinds. Try gopartsdirect.com, they are pretty inexpensive with limited choices.

This is a big deal right now, with lots of controversy on both sides: basically loud pipes save lives -vs- how annoying they are to the general public. Personaly I enjoy waking up my neighbors, but thats me. So... to stay legal Harley has gave into the annoying side & now are offering legal pipes only in they're catalogs. Stay with the Screaming Eagle brand through Harley & youre dealer.

Legally?
To be legal it has to meet the same requirements as stock.
To make it louder is to break the law.
Sorry.
P.S. Screamin' Eagle is only available from the dealer until they run out. The reason they won't restock? See above.
And there are cats on Cali models, Dr.

you can replace the ends of the pipes with aftermarket mufflers as long as the cat is not altered and still be legal
