On very rare occasions you'll run across a situation that having the OEM pipes may help someone out, but that occasion usually happens about 4 days after you toss them because they've been sitting in your garage for several years.

In a heart beat EPA can make a rule requiring all bikes have nothing but factory exhaust on them. Requiring inspections or requiring inspections at time of sale.

This has been floated a few times and little by little EPA is moving towards more regulation. Only you can decide. Some say they can't do that. but we have seen step by step increasing regulation.

Check your motor mount. I too have cracked Ys, not for bad mounts. But mechanic told me that cause it. I welded a couple up too. Old frames.

Perhaps posting those pipe on Facebook Marketplace would get you $50-100. I paid $50 for a stock set of headers from a 2019 Streetglide. I was gonna gut them and use them with the CAT removed. But a friend needed them for accident repair and so I am looking again.

I wonder more about people who remove cats. Though I suppose if your state calls the marker you buy new system $$. Not allowed to take cats out of autos. Granted only certain areas check. Liberal places like TX and NJ inspect bikes, but oddly CA does not, I believe.

I have two bikes same, but one has 2-1. I have taken old parts from basement from that one, and put on other bike as needed,

I was referring to the parts off of the '21 RKS. BUT, let me see what I have. I 'might' have the header off of the Ultra Limited. If that would do you any good, I don't know. Worth a look though.

I would keep the stock "catted" pipe, your State could start exhaust sniffer testing or someone you sell the bike too may live in a state that already sniffs the exhaust. I would throw it in the back corner or your attic or under the house if you have a crawl space. Attic heat for sure ain't gonna hurt it but i'm a pack rat, I keep everything like that....

Not a bike but this is what is coming.

A Ford dealership in Nebraska was fined for being an accessory after the fact to a Clean Air Act violation. Moody Motor Company in Niobrara has to pay a $125 special assessment fee and a $39,741.95 fine to the Environmental Protection Agency, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nebraska.
