Along these same lines, If you gut  or bypass the goat bladder, do you have to adjust the mixtures on a 99 1500?
(aka power commander)

Or if i install some aftermarket (cobra) pipes, would i have to ad a commander type device?

This is done on a Drifter...probably not as expensive as a stainless kit from Holland.

I believe there is a thing called a "dutch bypass" that might be what you are looking for.

Commonly referred to as either the goat bladder, or goat belly, that is a "pre-muffler/collector". If the bike has California emissions, that's where the catalytic converter would hide...This is an "open loop" injection system, so there is no O2 sensor.

Greetings..just purchased, but haven't pick up yet, a 1999 1500 drifter..checked out a bunch of posts looking for an answer..it's probably out there, I just missed it..the bike is bone stock except for the seat..my question is, on the exhaust there is  a black thing( convertor?) with 3 elbows, connected to the exhaust..can this be removed and the exhaust holes capped?, or is there an O2 sensor for the fuel injection connected to it..doesn't look like aftermarket exhaust have one..I would prefer to keep the stock exhaust system..thanks
