2011 Ultra Limited left & right muffler differences?
Was thinking of opening up the baffles in my new 2011 Limited, looked in and noticed right away the right side seems to be pretty much open; took a look at the left side and I am not sure as to what I saw in there!? Does anyone know what the left muffler has for internal parts? Thought I might find out from this great site before I go digging around too much and totally ruin a muffler. Also, I am guessing that the cat is in the headpipe before it 'Ys' under the bike and splits to the left side; is this correct? Can I just drill out the catalyst from the rear without doing any damage to the O2 sensors? Maybe with a 1/2 inch bit to get exhaust flowing a little better? Appreciate any responses, thanks all

I know you're probably trying to save some money by tearing into your stock exhaust, I'm wondering why. For more sound or for performance.
My advice to you is to save up the money and do a proper stage 1 upgrade. Your bike will run better and sound better.
If you proceed with modifying your stock exhaust, you may just open a can of worms. Your bike may not sound better and it might run like $hit.
Just my 2 cents.
