I'm not sure what your riding, or what kind of an exhaust note you are looking for, but I run the 2006 110" CVO mufflers on my 07 96" FLHX and they flow WAY more than the stock mufflers. The exhaust note is slightly louder than stock, actually more of a deeper note than stock.
If you want loud exhaust, they won't do. But if you want a mellow note with a lot more flow than stock mufflers, you just can't beat the CVO mufflers.
The quality is very high. They look very good on the bagger. If you want louder exhaust then get Steve at Fulsac to make you up some 2" baffles. Save the stock baffles in case you want to go back. I did, as I got rid of my loud exhaust and went back to quiet performance. So nice to now be able to hear my radio and not draw attention to myself when I ride through somewhere.
As far as the CATS go, most folks I've talked with that have removed them from their CVO mufflers say the exhaust note and engine performance is the same with or without the CATS installed. That tells me there is
no real exhaust flow loss with the CATS left in.
The new "Honey comb" design CAT materials used in modern exhaust systems are not as restrictive as the old "Pellet bed" style CAT converters of the 70's and the 80's. Leave them in, as you go through way too much work to remove them for what it's worth!
