Note: EC/ABE approved non-removable baffle included with Euro 1-2 certified mufflers.

What is an exhaust system for a Thorcat?

Thorcat exhaust systems are authentic Vance & Hines systems that have been changed by swapping out the original baffle for a Thorcat cartridge baffle that has been certified by the EC and ABE. After these modifications, the exhaust system is 100% street-legal and has received approval from the EC and ABE (Allgemeine BetriebsErlaubnis).

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 and catalytic converters 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
