Rocket X needs to be louder

Regarding the TORS Exhaust. Do you still see the small 1" exhaust opening within the 5" can like on the OEM? Or is the opening to the rear of the bike the full 5". I feel the tiny (relatively) openings on these exhausts look a bit goofy with a 2300CC motor and such a big bike...

The standard opening is 1". On TORS it's 2" and looks much more in keeping.

You can get black lenses for the directional changers too or clear ones.

Happy about that...mine should be here in a week...also are the pipes the same length and shape?

Apart from the 2" bore they look identical which is why I chose them. It draws less attention. Same note but deeper and louder. Gets slightly louder as you do more miles. Has a nice growl without being annoying. You need a new map to get the full benefit. I used the Triumph map but others have a tunecu map.

In addition they're lighter and cooler as they don't have cats

Looking forward to installing them. Thinking I'll throw in a K&N as well. Not sure if PC5 or Tune Boy is way to go or have the dealer remap.

If you stick to the dealer remap your warranty will still be good but not so with K&Ns. As always the choice is yours and willing really make that much usable difference?

So....did anyone confirm they are flat black and not the gloss black that shows in the pictures?

They make a version specifically for the X so assume they're flat back. Check on the forum as I think in the past few days 1 or 2 X owners have mentioned this.
