Vance & Hines Monster Round catalytic slip-ons VANCE & Hines has developed a version of its Monster Round Catalytic slip-on mufflers specifically for use in California. The new mufflers are listed by the California Air Resources Board as an exempt aftermarket part under the Executive Order No. K-006-1. Under the grant of the EO, these slip-ons are permitted for sale and use with Vance & Hines Power Duals or Dresser Duals head pipes on all Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycles, including CVO models from ‘07 - ‘13. The Monster Round Catalytic slip-ons have two three-way catalytic converters, which have been moved from the front half of the exhaust (as it is in the original equipment exhaust) to the back half. The change is said yield a significant reduction in heat felt by the rider. Vance & Hines states that its Monster Round Catalytic slip-ons make as much power as standard Monster Round slipons, along with the same tone riders. The mufflers also share the same finish, full coverage heat shields and machined billet end caps, with the slip-ons offered in chrome or black. While the mufflers can be used on bikes with extended saddle bags, they can not legally be used on Trike models.
