Am I the only one who loves the factory exhaust pipes?

Hi

I agree the 3 pipes bikes looked better especially from behind but those pipe are super heavy its almost like having a pillion passenger on the back and of course they do restrict the power from a motor that can easily produce more the later roadster pipes look just plain wrong if you ask me

They (the 3 mufflers combined) weigh 10kg, alot more than a trick single. However, swapping to a light single muffler would make very little difference to me and the way I ride the big porker. The Rocket is a big bike, fun to ride and work on but for me I don't see the point in trying to put it on diet when I know even as slow as I am I could whip the Rocket anyday on my old TL which has significantly less hp.

I like the looks of the Maddogs myself.

I think I need those. Where's that clever Viking chappie. @Paul Bryant ?

Why - well

I like the looks of the Maddogs myself. They run more parallel with the swingarm and tuck in closer. They also have a very mellow sound. It's a shame they only made one small run of them.

I like the look of them too, I've seen pics before but never seen them in the flesh. I would like to hear what they sound like.
I like the way Triumph splayed the originals it's kind of bizzare - keeping with the whole theme of the bike. The Rocket is a bit out there, we forget because we own one (or4) but people are still bewildered by the Rocket.

If they were TORS I would definitely buy those. I would love a spare set....

I build a free flow header that will plug straight into your stock cross over/rear end system.
I can also supply you a free flow cross over pipe to go with this.
The stock Roadster Mufflers have the CATs in the front of them, look up a thread "Skinning the cat"
A member here cut his open and removed the CATs.

I'm not at home at present but when I get home 'll put up some photos of this set up.

I'd like to see that!! I'm guessing the cat is the biggest restriction?

Yes

That there be My Brutus..... 232hp.
There is no way you could get that horsepower with anything stock. This set up has CES header pipes into Jardine Rumbler twin pipes and a bit load when you give it a good twist of the wrist- Oh and this bike is even BLACKER now - Powder Coated Wheels

That's a mean f-ing machine there!!

When I get my Vikings on I will have a set of TORS to sell.

3 pipe TORS? Are they in good condition? Drop me a line and send some pics if you like and hopefully we can sort something out
