From my best understanding of all the opinions I have collected on this forum is untill you change the air cleaner and backplate then NO. you are not going to move anymore air though the system until you free up the intake area. But I do have SE stage 1 AC and V&H slip on and when I gutted the cat I definately was way to lean as the cat was my most restrictive area i my setup-up and I cleared it.

Same rule of thumb we have in the Dyna world. Thank you for confirming.

Both headers look the same. I found the only way to tell if there is the converter installed is to look in the exhaust port of the header. If you see it, it is there. If you see an empty space, it does not have the converter installed.
i would not dismiss California from passing a law that checks to see if the Motorcycle Exhaust has been tampered with.
If you cut the header and gut out the converter, you will be able to tell from the outside that the header has been tampered with. That is why I found a header for my '09, from back east that didn't have the converter and replaced mine. I kept the original one so if the California EPA ***** start to check, I can switch back and forth.

If you put an 2009 head pipe on a '10 or '11 model you will need to add O2 sensor bungs as they were moved to the collector area and size changed to 12mm on late models. Phat Performance and Drag Specialties have weld in bungs. Another way around this is to add a fuel management system that does not use O2 sensors.
