Yo Gang,

Yesterday, I ordered the over priced plumbing to get rid of by Cat Box on the Rocket3. From Internet sources, it sound like it will give me another twenty HP! I just hoping that she will me quite at low RPMs, to keep the neighbors happy, but I only got the TOR's, so it shouldn't be a problem?

Getting w/the program,

With TORS and catalytic converter gone, your Rocket will still sound pretty civilized at idle, and slow, easy acceleration. It's only when you goose it that you start making any real noise. With your set-up, you won't be any more obnoxious to the neighbors than most of the lawnmowers, and all the weedeaters. The hard part will be controlling yourself when you leave the driveway.

Like Todd said, It's somewhat quiet until you crack the throttle open wide. It is nice though because you can still hear after a long ride. On my HD leaker, it takes about 20 minutes to regain my hearing after a long ride. I pulled the cat off the Rocket and added Triumph Pipes and it sounds great. I can make HD riders look suprised when I wick it up. It actually sounds better than a V-Twin to me and I ride a HD. I prefer riding the Rocket over my other bikes. You will love the sound. Just get a Power Commander III now to kill the pops on decel.

Yo Gang,

The cat-by-pass is in and the Rocket3 now has a growl and bark if ya get on the twenty extra HPs! The Progressive 440's are nailing the rear end to the road and we are off to Cedar Key this weekend to road test her. No rain, no rain! Never been to this Gator hangout on the Gulf of Mexico.

It don't get no better than this,
