Today I was standing far behind my bike when I noticed something looked a little funny. I could see the baffle in my left pipe, but none on the right? ***, that's weird I thought. Well on closer inspection, they look totally different to me! Take a look yourself...

Furthermore, the right pipe has a triumph product stamp on it, the left one doesn't!! ***?!
I am pretty sure my dealer only installed one pipe and hoped I wouldnt notice? Well, I didnt notice until just now, about 1000 miles later. The bike sounded louder and more throaty to me but now that I am paying more attention, the right side is a little louder. I came from a traditional V-Twin with the exhaust on the right side only so I dont think the difference stood out as much to me.
So I am beyond pissed off right now. Mind you I bought this bike brand freaking new from them, pipes too. They were supposed to hold the pipes for me until the first service when I would put them on. Well unfortunately I was in an accident on the bike before that first service. They offered to put the pipes on the bike at that time as they were doing the repairs to the bike which I said sure. I also noticed they claimed the TOR pipes on the insurance claim because they were technically "on the bike" since I paid for them when bought it. So they got paid for the same pipes twice, once by me buying them then a second time by lying to insurance and saying they were damaged in the accident, but then they only actually put 1 pipe on the bike to save even more?!?!?!
/Rant
If anyone has the TOR pipes on their bike, please go take a look at them and tell me if they are different on each side like the ones pictured on mine are. Or if they both have stamps?
I can't do anything about this until Monday when the shop opens back up but I dont even know where to start? Like should I go to them first about it? I feel like I should but the shop is obviously fking scummy so should I let them touch my bike? If they are willing to do some stupid chit like this with the pipes I wonder what else they would do. I know they will claim ignorance or oversight but c'mon, you are a professional motorcycle dealer and service depart, there are two exhaust pipes on my bike, its not hard to understand you install both at the same time. And no one noticed a random aftermarket exhaust sitting around in the shop after the fact?
This is a legitimate Triumph dealer and I have been loyal to them from day 1. I'm wondering if I should maybe reach out to the corporate side of Triumph and let them know what has been going on, because at this point just putting the damn pipe I paid for on the bike isnt gonna be enough to un-piss me off about this situation.
And yes, I admit I missed it and should have inspected it more but I feel like thats why I paid all this money for a new bike and service from the actual dealer, so I could just trust them without having to look out for myself getting duped. Lesson learned but still pissed.
