I have been thinking about gutting my cat. The dealer says they’ve done a few but says there is a ton of horsepower loss. He also said the bikes they gutted cats on sounded poor. How much truth is there to this?
No truth to that? Cat removed on the last 3 Indian Baggers here for me; stage one air, stage two Indian cams, Rush true duals and Dyno Jet tune; running very close to 116 BBK for HP/Torque someone misleading you here.I have been thinking about gutting my cat.

This and most other options have been done and are on Fuel Motos websiteI guess someone would have to dyno the same Indian before and after. Share the result
Sweet. I will check it out. Thanks.This and most other options have been done and are on Fuel Motos website
Little to none. I have an air cooled engine, ride in Texas and Oklahoma. Gutted the cat because of the heat, actually started melting the plastic cover right above the cat. Didn't go with any of the expensive upgrades, just gutted the cat. Already had Stage 1 pipes when purchased, added the Big Sucker air cleaner and got rid of the bed pan. There is no discernable gain or loss of HP however I noticed quicker throttle response, picks up RPM quicker. There is a slight more bark from the pipes. There is NO difference in torque and I lost a lot, I mean a LOT of heat. It's a 2014 Chief.I have been thinking about gutting my cat.

I have have the stage 1 with reinhardts and a gutted cat. I haven't noticed and real loss of power at all, and the sound is just a little louder and a little more throaty.I have been thinking about gutting my cat.
