  1. Indian Motorcycle Tech Q & A
    I’m looking to buy a used 2021 Challenger (3,600 miles) from a small independent dealership after private selling my 2021 Chieftain. The deal on the Challenger is too good to pass on, and I’ve been wanting to make the move to the frame mounted fairing. Probably a dumb question, but I’m trying to...
  2. Thunder Stroke 111 Common Problems/Issues
    For you guys who have removed your catalytic converter on your 111, I hear a lot of folks say that it majorly reduced heat from the right side. My question is did it also significantly reduce heat from the furnace that sits right under your seat? Currently, my (new to me) 2018 stock Chieftain...

  4. Indian Chieftain
    I have 2019 Chieftain. Considering the rear engine deactivation, I have not yet experienced any major heat issues. However, I was wondering if de-catting (catalytic converter removal) would improve the exhaust note and performance.

    My first post on the forums was calling out veteran members for always replying "use the search." Wow, who'd have thought? Except the search SUCKS. Now that I've been a member for a couple years, you do notice a lot of the same questions being asked, over and over and over and... Today I've...
  7. Indian Roadmaster
    I'm curious how hard it is to remove the catalytic converter from my 2018 Roadmaster. Do I need new pipes or can it just be removed?
  8. Thunder Stroke 111 Performance & Suspension
    My local dealer offers what they call an X Pipe that replaces the stock catalytic converter, etc for $359.10 wondering if I should go this route or just gut out, modify the stock cat? According to the dealership or should I say "stealership" they claim that I won't be getting better performance...

    Hows it going my people? Have a 2018 Springfield I just took delivery of. The Scout was not up to longer rides like I had hoped, at least the comfort level wasnt there. ANyway, I've heard all about the heat off the cylinder heads but after taking the SF for a test ride and running it in a...

    Ok, I am seriously considering gutting the cat on my 16 CDH. My question is, is there any down sides? Do I loose low end torque because of lack of back pressure? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Greetings to all, I have a 2014 Vintage Chief. with less than 5K miles. 100% stock. Have done nothing to the bike besides removing the silly "whatyoumaycalledit" plug in the pipes. For different reasons I have slowed down my bike riding. I have 3 motorcycles and try to give my bikes equal riding...
  16. Indian Motorcycle Tech Q & A
    Have used drills and metal rod and have enough holes that a 3/8" rod has hard time finding a solid area. But how do I break it apart so I can pull it out !?!?!?
  17. Thunder Stroke 111 Performance & Suspension
    I'm in the market to dump the cat for some heat relief. Current options are a neutered stocker, x-pipe, FM header, and the true dual options from Rush & FP. Any others? I've read the stocker ends up tinny, not interested in that. The true duals lose low end torque, not interested in that...

    I know that there is already a bunch of posts about de-catting the head pipe. What I could not find is information about possibly adding baffles to the exit pipes from the cat box. I did read a thread where Enzo added baffles to his mufflers when he de-catted his head pipe, but I am...

    Hey everyone! I am going to be removing the Catalytic Converter and wanted to see if anyone had a picture of where I should place the separation plate inside like American Custom has done. Thank you!!
  20. Indian Motorcycle Tech Q & A
    Has anyone tried wrapping the CAT to reduce the radiant heat on the right side? If you have, are there any clearance issues with the decorative covers once you wrapped it? Just trying to decide what route to go before this riding season.
