    Its made specifically for the exhaust that I have but I bet other companies have them. Really its a DB controller so all exhaust companies "should" have them to make their "non street legal" cans legal.

    Well shit! I can't find a reliable answer, but it looks like Kim's bike did not come with a catalytic converter. So, why was I comparing how her 2003 bike runs with a 2010 without a cat? Well, because a very well known bike mechanic (that may or may not be on this site) told me Kim's bike came with a cat, and I'm safe to run race gas in it because the cat was removed when I put her Yosh on. Kind of like how a dealer told me that my truck... ah, nevermind.

    So, does anyone know if a 2003 R6 came with a factory catalytic converter?

    My answer wound be no. No cat and no O2 sensors.

    There is however a baffle towards the end of the headers that looks like a catalytic converter. Different year bike but I left mine in (I didnt want to loose too much back pressure ).
