Thorcat are original Vance & Hines exhaust systems that have been modified by replacing the original baffle with a Thorcat EC / ABE approved cartridge baffle, and in some cases a catalytic converter is added too. These changes result in an exhaust system that is 100% street-legal, and EC and ABE (Allgemeine Betriebserlaubnis) approved - With a Thorcat you get the excellent manufacturing quality of Vance & Hines and a smile on your face when you get pulled over, safe in the knowledge that your exhaust is legal throughout the European Union. - What exactly is changed? For Euro 1 and 2 systems the original Vance & Hines baffle is replaced by a Thorcat EC approved cartridge baffle. The cartridge baffles are welded in place and are non-removable. - For what bikes is the approval valid? The EC / ABE certification is valid for unmodified stock bikes, for the specific models and model years as mentioned in the product descriptions. - Registering your Thorcat? Every Thorcat exhaust, and the individual components used for approval, come with a unique serial number. You must provide the bike's VIN number (frame number) to register your exhaust system in the Thorcat register; a document on how to do this is included. Once registered, you will receive a Thorcat ID card that can be used to prove the legality of your exhaust system.
