Thunderbird Sport Exhaust?

Will the Sport exhaust system fit a standard Thunderbird?
The upswept megaphones look nice.

Yes, though you will have the following challenges:

1. Muffler mounting to rear subframe - the rear peg / muffler mounts are in a different place on the TBS and TBird.

2. Centerstand - with early TBS exhausts the Centerstand can be swapped for a TBS one - though you will then have problems deploying it unless you cut its legs downa abit (too tall). If its the later (one each side) version of the TBS exhaust you wil not be able to use a centerstand because the exhaust crossover pipe gets in the way.

Thanks,
Sounds like a PIA.
I'd miss my centerstand.

an easier route would be to graft on the TBS mufflers, though in order to get the upswept look you might need to swap to Legend headers as well - but at least that way you could keep the centerstnd

T-bird sports exhaust

I've fitted a pair of the RAASK pipes using one of the connectors from ebay that were designed to fit the old t140 peashooters to the new T100 bonnie. They fitted with no modifications and sound just like the Triumph TORS (the baffles are also removable).Nice and easy mod, pipes about £235 adapters £20.
