Rocket X needs to be louder

Blackthou said:

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.

I'm just off out but if no one replies in the meantime, I'll check it out when I get back. As I said, have a look at some recent posts. It must've been this week

I have spent a lot of time reading old threads and I haven't yet found a way to get my X louder. It is a 2015 and I love the long matte black pipes so after talking to every supplier in the UK and US I have been told what I want is part number A9608144, i am told "yes they are louder and would be considered a Stage One exhaust".

What is a stage one exhaust?

So can anyone tell me are they louder, same length as stock and flat or matte black? it's 500 bucks or more so I want to be sure before popping for the cash.

The only other option is to mess with the catbox but I can't find a decat or bypass pipe available anywhere.

Not sure what parts you be speaking of, but you should mount up the K&Ns and CES headers first.
I did the K&Ns and TORs with a canned tune for a year and twas a good, very noticible improvement.
The addition of the CES AND a professional dyno tune with Tune ECU from Nels at least doubled that first improvement!
Check out that new Sidewinder! A good friend of mine (and wife) just went from their Harley trike to one and they LOVE it!
I am thinking of one as I prefer the wife to be in/on the same vehicle with me when we travel together and NOT on a motor of her own.
Of course we be old and I just can't see her operating a trike (non car) on her own.

That's what mine had too. I thought the older models had a bigger box. I didn't know Triumph offered a better crossover. I figured it would have to be aftermarket.

Good morning,
not trying to intrude here, just a quick opinion about your CES and the triple K@N system you have, i am installing this on my 2015 Roadster as I type, and am going to see Nels on the 30th to have it tuned.
How do you like it from stock, did you notice any seat of the pants gains or any losses. From everything I have read, Nels is the man, I have every confidence in his shop, and cannot wait to get it done and get on the road. Some day I hope to have the funds to do the 240 kit from carpenter, but alas, as of now this is all my wallet allows, she is a stingy one. Although my mistress "WIFE" is all for it, being an adult sucks, LOL
stay safe, ride hard
