| | Posted : 06 Apr 2018 - 14:10 Post title : Muffler Options | | | I just had my dealer order for replacement mufflers cancelled because Triumph Canada has discontinued the 'custom long pipes.' So, what are my options without paying big shipping and exchange rates? I'm based in New Brunswick.

I would recommend the Hogslayers. This set up replaces the catalytic converter and the slipons at the same time.
Great sounding pipes.
If you prefer a shorter set up take a look at D & D, I have a set on a 2010, they were awesome and very reasonably priced.

| | Posted : 07 Apr 2018 - 22:06 Post title : Re: Muffler Options (Re: Birchw1) | | | If the "custom long pipes" (stock 2010 Thunderbird mufflers) are what you're after, I'll bet some Canadian member here has a set they've replaced long ago and might be willing to sell. I think I still have my stock mufflers around here somewhere... replaced with short TORS way-back-when.
They were fine - except that they had to be removed for tire replacement, belt adjustment, etc.

| | Posted : 11 Apr 2018 - 11:08 Post title : Re: Muffler Options (Re: kemcclure8588) | | | As I said, my issue is dollar exchange and shipping costs. Hogslayers would be great if they had a Canadian distributor. Since Triumph Canada is not carrying the TORs, my options are rather limited. It's looking like I'll need to make a road trip into the US.

(Not quite on par with an oil or tire thread, but close ;-)
First you'll need a TB1600 patch Link
There's a repository of tunes around here somewhere. And be glad your 1600 will allow the change; later models won't.

No remap should be necessary if you are using the stock mufflers.

| | Posted : 30 Apr 2018 - 17:41 Post title : Re: Muffler Options (Re: Birchw1) | | | With LT and Commander style pipes, you'd probably be just fine with the "TOR Tune". You can have a dealer load it, or DIY via the TuneECU software process. If you do much more than pipes, like airbox mods, high flow filter, cat delete, etc., you might need a bit "sportier" map.

The Commander pipes are not a direct bolt on for the 1600. They are longer.
JBQ does make an adapter kit including different elbows and brackets to adapt the mufflers to your bike.
Link Go about 1/2 way down the page to see.

The kit is $65 shipped (in USA). It includes the brackets to fit the mufflers, hardware and shortened elbows. Link (Everything you need except mufflers and motorcycle)
The Commander mufflers are longer from the front to the mounting bracket; hence the adapter brackets. It also adapts the LT mufflers as well.
