I have the SE Slip-on's for my '07 FXSTC and they have the EPA/CARB stamp on the underside of the pipes.
Legal in California!

Negative on the Cats in the pipes. My '07 Heritage had no Cats on the stock pipes or on the S.E. slip ons. I live in Calif. and the bike was purchased here.
The S.E.'s are legal in Calif. they have all the necessary stampings on them. They certainly are not as loud as the S.E. II's.

This is a BS law, why must you have to use an original equiptment exhaust system on a bike and not a car? Does that mean I can't get a car exhaust installed at Midas if this law was equal? I would have to get it at the car dealer?
What if I were to install quiet (same dbl as stock) baffles in my pipes, i'm still going to get a ticket for non-stock exhaust?
I can understand strait pipes being illegal, but baffled pipes should not be.

It's not fair. Fair comes around once a year.

I think in California in 2006 and everywhere else in 2007 all the stock pipes have Cats in them. So I would imagine aftermarket would have to have them too in order to be "legal" or get an epa stamp. I still think it is rediculous to put cats in theselittle two cyclinder engines. We should be encouraging people to use motorcycles instead of discouraging them. Think of the huge reduction in pollution and congestion if a majority of people were going to work on motorcycles instead of giant 8 cylinder engined SUV's!

CA law specifically does not actually prohibit changing the exhaust as long as all of the emissions items are still in place. It's the EPA stamp they are going for because it is the only way to tell a bike is within the noise level without buying DB meters.....I put the vehicle code for CAin the Temecula tread. https://www.hdforums.com/m_1973946/m...tm.htm#1982231
The EPAcrapis just vague enough to make turning on your bike illegal.
