Just so you 2014 buyers know
..there will be a Catalytic Convertor on the 2014 . All models prior to that do not have one they have a "primary muffler" or " resonator". Good luck with the heat from that. Another good reason to have a 2013

All Spyders with stock exhaust has a catalytic converter.
Are you saying the 2014's have a separate cat and it's no longer built into the muffler?

I prefer ski-doo over cat.

The original GS/RS models had the catalytic converter built into the muffler; the RT has always had a separate one.
Starting In 2013; ALL bikes went to the 991 series engine, (The RT mill), and had external cats...
2014: no change; other than the addition of the new big triple.

I not certain but I don't think there are many bikes out there that don't have a cat somewhere in the exhaust chain. Hells bells even the wife's Ural has cats on both sides. One of the many necessary "improvements" on the 1939 design. Frankly if congress wants to leave part of the "guvment" shut down they can start with the EPA. Back to biking.

I have seen it mentioned, that does not make it so. Maybe BRP is lying?
Seen plenty of Harleys running around this " Bike Week" around here with straight pipes. Where is their cat?

The Ural gang refer them as runaway cats. Open the door they get out and just never come home.

He may not have thought he was telling a story but he was.

magdave:
I doubt that your dealer would knowingly lie to you. But there is always the chance that he is slightly out of touch. Like on another planet or was one of those that when the brains were passed out, thought they said "planes or trains" and stepped out of the line!........
