Super easy! I used a long 1" spade bit and a shop vac while still on the bike. The material is really pretty soft.
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.
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?
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.
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
Did you loose any bottom end or performance
Any o2 sensor lights I mean check engine light?
Sounds awesome not too loud but loud enough. Can you send me the link showing me how to remove the cat? Thx
Well show it, did you video it?
What about the O2 sensors how does this effect the ecu?
Sweet bikes bro 🤘
#Powamoto in the house check his channel guys sick videos south florida bike scene Is on fire 🔥
@@Xworks22 sick..........
Did you have your Hog remap?
Did you retune it
Nice
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
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
Thanks. There's no room for a phone mount. 1st I've seen mounted to the bars
@@TheGroundhogkiller yea it fits but you're right not much room
Hi, Just seen your great vid. Did you remove the pipes when you removed the cat or did they remain on the bike? Thanks
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
@@Xworks22 Many Thanks. I guess what i was getting at was the headers remained on the bike during the cat removel?
@@stevelove1560 oh ok yes the header stays on the bike 👍
Thanks bud. Take care.
Only way to go,… did it myself 👍🏻
What ram mount is that. Do you have it mounted to your bars?
Yes it's ram handlebar mount
Did you just drill the Cat completely out and pull what's left out? Or just drill it out good?
This is my question! LOL This is a horrible video explaining what to do! haha
So now thats its been awhile, did you have to tune it ? Or just pull the cat ?
Never did a tune it's runs great people say you should but it's not necessary
Did have to tune it? I have a stage 1 on my 2020 Street Glide.
No not necessary runs like it should if anything it runs a little better than stock but some people say you should tune it
Will this cause a check engine light to come on if there is an O2 sensor?
No it will not do that the o2 sensor is before the cat
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.
Simply not true for m8 engines, dk customs did a dyno video about full exhaust and intake with no tune
@@ridered7394 do you even tune? You’re verifiably wrong, from a Harley mechanic….
@@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.
This is not true, the cat has nothing to do with a/f ratios. The sensors are before the cat.
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
Did you notice any loss of back pressure or loss of horsepower or torque?
No loss if anything it feels more of a gain
Did you have to buy a tuner for it?
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
@@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
Yes you needs a tune.
Isnt the cat in the header pipes on the stock exhaust?
Yea but it's near the the slip on connection once you take your slip-ons off just shine a flashlight right in there and you'll see it
@@Xworks22 ok, the way the video was going i thought you were saying do it from the slipons i was like wait what? Lol good work man, sounds good
@@BdeSimon yea I suck at UA-cam 😂 I need to focus on making better videos
@@Xworks22 im not very good at them either so i get it lol
Is it a lot cooler on the leg?
Yeah definitely cooler
great thanks@@Xworks22
Any popping on deaccelaration?
No not at all
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.
Simply drilled out all the material it falls apart in pieces until it's clear ...no hole or mess or welded patched up exhaust
Ah ok, so you did clear out all the material. Thanks.
What pipes are those. Sound great
Ebay pipes all chrome took out the baffles too I think I only paid like $120 for them
@@Xworks22 you need a tune
@@IndiansAuto who makes a cat delete tune ?
@@tdv1985 Dynojet.
I wonder how it would sound with stock pipes and a decat?
Probably sound good 👍
It’s been a hot minute since you’ve done this DIY cat removal. Any issues with your bike as a result at all?
Thanks’

Nope no issues at all the bike runs cooler ,better and louder
I wanted to do this to my 2020 so badly for sound and cooler and less felt heat but I don’t want to pollute. If everyone did this could you imagine!
It's a 2 cylinder motorcycle that gets ridden on weekends not a car,truck,plane pollute I think we'll survive Harley only started this whole emissions bs cause the people we have in office. 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
Meanwhile China has a bigger carbon footprint than anyone else and no one says a word to them about it.... It's all BS we're being lied to. God is in control of HIS planet.
Do you live in FL? I would like to see you do it on my bike for payment of course. 🙂
I'm in boca raton about 45 minutes south of west palm
It's pretty easy to diy but if you're down this way I can do it for you
How did you remove it ?
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
@@Xworks22 I ride a 2021 RGS and im assuming the cat c is in the slip on on the right side of the bike as well. Thanks for this tip I haven't seen any channels revealing this. Cheers!
@@InHimwillitrust it's actually in the header pipe right by the slip on but you need to take the slip on of to acces it 👍
@@Xworks22 thanks!
@@InHimwillitrust you're welcome 👍
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!
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
Those big pipes seem to have a hollow sound
No cat and no baffles
Sounds very hollow tinie.
The correct way would be aftermarket catless headpipes, no cutting or drilling anything.
How did you get the chunks out? A magnet? What size auger bit
@@mathewracheau3512 I grabbed them with long needle nose plyers any long bit the material is soft
Saying this is the “correct” way is a bit of a stretch
Noticeable performance
“0”
M8 will never sound like an Harley until it’s cammed
Well it's made by harley so it not only sounds like a Harley but it is a Harley ..... sounds like like you don't know what a Harley is
Got that right! My m8 sounds like a beast out for blooooood!
@@superdaddio3583 He must ride an Indian 🤣
@@Xworks22 i believe you're correct in your assumption.
@@Xworks22 Indian is a bow & arrow where Harley is a Shotgun! Lmao 🤣
Did you notice it get any louder
Yes definitely much louder
@@Xworks22 sweet thanks bro about to do the same
Hopefully you tuned it after the delete
Im glad you are hopeful 🤣 UA-cam comments are the Best I guess you'll never know 🤣
@@Xworks22 your bike, I could not care any less
