Triumphrat

I know here is too many threads about exhausts, silencers, mufflers. 2 years i'm reading them in this and other forums. But problem still exist and now "kind an emergency".
I need replace silencers (especialy upper). But i don't want heavy loaded restricted T2201561 and T2201562. But again i'd like to keep bike design.
I'm waiting for response from EPCO, British-Custom (about their Predator) and Thunderbike. On Webbikeworld i found that someone made stainless steel silencers at EPCO http://www.webbikeworld.com/tbird/tb.htm for TBS 2000.
Is anyone familar with these mufflers? Any opinion?
Please don't remind that Triumph dicontinued TOR for TBS 98...

I have the British Customs Predators on my Legend and love them. Great sounds, kind of an angry growl. Seem very unrestrictive as far as air flow.

I think they're meant for a TBS because the sweep up way more than my stock pipes did.

I ain't rich to buy cheap pipes and then others...
If this Predators on your Legend would be with clamp covers you could "introduce" them like Triumph's off road

But i think Predators inch or more longer, aren't they?
I only don't have craftsman to adjust them. Or maybe i'll ask... again.

Definately longer. but I was able to fit them with no modifications.

On B-C site they recomed these pipes for Adventurer and T-Bird, they posted picture with late TBS equiped with Predators.
Not many exhaust manufacturers build exhausts for early TBS and seems only Mecatwin have direct replacement "silencers".

Decisions... I must something to do with headers as well! Give up and buy 3in1 system or for same price buy 2 shiny mufflers and be happy with rusty headers...

Check out Ceramic coating. Around 120 to 150 $ for a set of Headers. They have a coating that looks very much like Chrome, just not quite as shiny, and it does not discolor. Or for a cool look Black.

O How about a straight on side shot of those mufflers, I like that look, but would like to see a side shot.

Anyone knows good exhaust coating in Ireland?
I see you happy there in U.S. Loads of magic products: JetHot coating, Amsoil, Glare polish, Sea Foam... i only can read reviews on web about it.

is it side shot enough? Sorry, that's not my bike.
French Mecatwin makes as well performance system 3in3 with bit smaller mufflers.
