    Is there anywhere in Melbourne area I can take my stock headers in for de CAT ing and do a nice tidy job.

    A price or ball park figure would be great too.

    Thinking of going back to a 2 into one system for my Fatbob I have the slip ons.

    Always get asked by a EPA tested to see the Cat, which is a worry if I have to take it for sound testing.

    Cheers.

     Put a little nick in their coat and blow the skim off with compressed air, works a treat

    If you shoot one up the ass with a .303 they basically turn inside out

    pretty simple job really. I did my fatbob and cut the window on the OUT side of the pipe so the welds would be covered by the heat shield.
    Digging all the metal wafer out took a while.

    I got mine tig welded back in at a shop.
    just used an angle grinder to cut the window and an old screw driver to bash the cat to bits to dig it out.
    Hint. bigger window is better than small

     Hi there, I got a laugh outta the first few posts, but hey if I lived in Melbourne, I could have done it for you. I'm a welder by trade, and handy with a grinder and cutting discs. Can mig/tig just about anything.

    It said in the 2012 Dyna owners manual  theres no cat for Australia models but there is the active flap valve , isn't that part of the CAT system???

    It makes pips run hot in summer was getting pinging from the motor on 32dg up days.

     I ran it with the valve open, the dealer did some thing that kept the vale open but still ran to hot.

    Remember its a stock wideglide/Fatbob 2 into 1 system.

    Great answers guys,,, those systems are very heavy with slip ons and the bracket system to the gear box is a worry too.

    Still thinking about which way to go.

    But thanks for all your help I have a better understand about gutting the pussy in the pipe and the cat flap.

    Hey Oz, what did you do with the cable running from the active flapper back up into that module in front of the battery box? My Fatcats go on Tuesday and the general consensus seems to be just to blank the cable???
