My Triumph dealer put me onto this.

Link
He says it is better sounding than the TORS (deeper and more imposing) but it costs a little more. The TORS is apparently not much of an improvement on the stock so not really recommended.

Anyone else heard of them? They are Aussie made so probs not much info on them however I've done a bit more investigating & I'm guessing these pipes are based on the British Customs pipes.

Supposedly will give another 5 hp or so and extra torque although need to expect some decal popping. I talked to the manufacturer who said that they have a "Air Injection Removal Kit" which will virtually eliminate decal pops. This might render your bike non-compliant with anti pollution laws depending on where you are but who would know?

Anyone heard of this before?

I assume so because you can buy an elimination kit.

No these are in Victoria. I know the one you mention & I think they actually modify your existing exhaust. They were also mentioned by the dealer.

If the catalytic converter remains, it's probably not worth it.
