A Triumph dealer will have a device that they can connect to the bike's electronic harness that will download data and tell them if anything is out of whack with tune, bad sensors, etc, etc I can't imagine why that wouldn't tell you anything that you need to know- that and a decent mechanic willing to spend some time and really help you.
FWIW, my bike, also a '00 Daytona, will sputter if I try to accelerate when the engine is spinning anything below 3000 RPM. Above 3000, a whack of the throttle and it takes off like a rocket. Your engine will go to 10,500 RPM, no need to lug it below 3000 RPM. Lugging a motor will do more damage to it than running it at a higher speed. Even in traffic, I keep it between 3000 and 5000.
I'm also curious about your mechanic telling you that a certain pipe won't work with the bike, period. I always thought that you could tune the bike to work with any pipe.
It seems that you're willing to spend some money to solve the problem (bought a pipe, then bought a stock pipe, etc). Have you heard of a TuneBoy? It's an aftermarket device that connects to the harness like the triumph factory unit, and allows you or your mechanic to fine tune every aspect of the bikes performance, create and save custom tunes (with a PC), as well as reading any error codes generated by the engine. It's like a Powercommander on steroids, and in fact, you can use it to download Powercommander maps to your bike as well.
Having said all of that, though, your bike is stock, so it should run perfectly. Have you checked all of the obvious stuff, like fouled spark plugs, clogged air filter, bird's nest in the exhaust, clogged fuel filter, water in the gas, etc, etc? Is it burning oil, is the exhaust smoky?
