You'll likely enjoy the new sound and more low end torque!

nice work on the welding
had mine drilled out with a coring bit. Not a thorough as the welding job, but they did get a big section of it straight thru the middle took and it took less than one hour about $75.00. the coring bit is about the diameter of the exhaust pipe entering from the header pipes and is visible from the muffler looking in

Pretty much the same thing I did about a year and half ago and never had any issues with it. Only I cut mine in half and removed the cat and tig it back together. Just recently swap it out for the power duals and cant really tell any difference in the two. Anyone looking for a head pipe?

Where do the O2 sensors go in that pipe? On my 2012 they are about where you guys are taking out the cat. So they must have moved the cats and put them in the headers ahead of the union? I might be interested if it would work on my bike.

Should be in the same spot, just before the cat.

Did you use a different map after removing the cat?
If so,is it the same map as for the power duals?

How did a cat get stuck in your exhaust pipe anyway? Seriously, good write -up and pics!

I did use a map for the power dual after I did the cut out, its about the closest thing to it with no problems. I did have it tuned not to long ago to see if I could get some mileage back, and it wasn't too far off. Found out the mileage problem is me, ha, so guess Ill live with that. The best thing about it, beside the sound and a little performance gain, was getting rid of the heat from under the seat.

Do you have to get emissions tested in Arkansas? Here we get tested once the bike is over 5 years old.

Hopefully .... I've seen this NOT WORK in several instances ( on a car ) and it the damage was severe .... It's ALWAYS BEST to remove the parts being welded from the vehicle.

No testing or even vehicle inspections here - nothing.
