Peter,
Thanks for all of the posts and replys you put into this forum, it shows that you really do support Triumph in general and the Speed Triple specifically.
I am R. Webber in Phoenix, AZ USA and was the one that emailed you today. Thanks for the quick response and I just wanted to clearify a few things with you. I figured I would do it here so everyone can benefit from it and so you don't have to repeat yourself over and over.
First: I have seen two styles of end tips on your cans. The flush ones and the ones with the tips. Have you converted/ updated/ modified/ etc... all of your cans for the '05-'06 Speed Triple to the flush ends (no tips)? If so I love the looks of those with the Trident badge, they rock, Excellent choice! The looks of your cans are the main reson I want them besides the performance and weight benefit.
Second: I am looking for the most performance including peak hp and torque as well as quality of power. Stock the bike is too quiet. The TOR's are in the ball park but I would not mind a little louder. Are the slip-ons and the half system the same cans with the exception of the addition of the Y pipe and assorted bits needed for the lower part of the system, but the cans themselves are the same, is this ture?
If that is the case are they considered "race" cans and thus they do not have a baffle or is there one and it is removable? Also are these systems rated at about 102db. If it is that sounds good to me and probably plenty loud enough.
108 db is very loud (but not a bad thing, my harley roars), but what does that do for performance? Is it the same or is there some kind of trade off in either hp/ torque/ power delivery or all of them because of the internal mods that you do to the can? Or is the performance the same and it is just louder just to be louder?
Lastly: for now
I heard that Carbon Fiber cans cannot hold up to dyno runs? Is that an old wives tale or is there some truth to it due to the heat build up. It sounds silly but i am going to have the bike dynoed again after they are put on.
I speak only for myself but thanks again for all of your patience to all of our questions. :-D
