K&N's without TORS-Worth the trouble?

The only exhaust I am aware of for the R3T is Paul's Viking set up. I have talked to him about slip-ons and the crossover. I contacted D&D & they no longer make slip-ons for the R3T. It will now be trying to save up the money for his set up and the Ram Air.

For those of you who have his slip-ons and crossover but with the stock headers, how much louder is his set up compared to the stock headers on the R3T? I have a hearing loss and am wanting to protect what hearing I have left. Quieter is better for me.
 



Why not wear ear plugs all the time??? My understanding is the wind noise when going fast damages the hearing more so than anything. Plus for me long rides with no plugs all the noise starts to aggravate me. But then, I am Old N' Grumpy!
 


I have a secret. I have an extra set of Touring TORS. In the box. Never been opened.
 


Well I must be deaf I think...I’ve installed the triple KNs , air box delete, DP outlaws etc...I have never heard this ‘ exhaust sound coming from the intake’ ? It’s sounds great and I guess a little different at the intake but not too decearnably so. Nor have I noticed ever the’chirping’ I’ve heard so much about. Could be that the DPs drown out the other ‘new’ noises. Or, could be I installed the exhaust , airbox delete , PCV / AT , Ozclaw immediately after I had its first service so within 1st two months.
Anyway , this is my third Rocket and I honestly cannot tell you I’ve ever significantly noticed much ‘extra’ noise at all. (My filters are now behind ozclaw). I feel I’ve missed out on something somehow?

I think if you add more air, and change nothing else, then it should be lean or more lean than rich. Do like Steel said with the 20 buck cable. There are still TORS out there. Triumph Off Road Silencers.
