Just got my pipes told off quite rudely. I've got this friend who's some kind of genius
when it comes to getting the best performance out of a bike....I just booked an appointment to get my bike on the bench...he took one look at my Triumph performance pipes (the reverse cone kind) and said "boy oh boy...what a heap of junk". His point was that to get the most out of it you need 3 into 1...mine are 2 into 1 and 1 into 1. The only other solution would be some kind of balancing pipe. He could practically promise me another 10hp if I got 3 into 1...he thought I should check out brands like Sebring or Acropovic...seems they don't make any for t-birds.
So...ladies and gents...after all this yakkin' the obvious question is: What pipes should I be looking for? Anyone with any brands they've tried and liked? Help! I can't live another day knowing that there's more power to be found in my bike.
I have heard they are kind of loud, but give good power. Aside from that the only 3-1s that will fit your bike are the ones designed for the 95/96 Speed Triple and Daytona 900. Sebring made the official pipe for the S3 Challenge and Akro makes a 3-1 as well. I believe there is one for sale in the classifieds section of this board.
Triumph_ant sells the header if you want to do something custom. Here is the url Triumph_ant
I had emailed them last week and they quoted me 150.00 and shipping. I believe that is pounds, not euro's but could be wrong.
