Here is the story. I bought an 05 Truimph Speed Triple this past spring. I knew pretty quick that the mufflers would eventually have to go. I wanted something that didnt look stock and definitely didnt sound stock. A cool set of cans were running between $600 and $900. Being the cheap b*stard that I am I spotted these carbon fiber cans on ebay that are for riceing out your honda (or whatever) car for $26 each plus shipping.

I had the maintenance guy from work help me with the adapters I needed to have welded to get the bikes small pipes to step up to the 2 1/2 inch inlet of the cans. Here are the results:

(I hope I dont exceed my bandwith at photobucket)
I fired it up today and rode it around the block to warm it up. The sound is quite amazing. I didnt notice too much popping or anything. Might get remap done later anyways.

Here is a link to the video:

looks good anyway!

Not bad. They're bigger than I thought when you first posted the pictures.

I would expect them to be howling loud. At very least they're different than just about anybody else.

But you simply must do something about tying up those breather hoses. Tacky.

I think they look great.

Looks special...but not bad at all

They look better than a few aftermarket systems I've already seen for the new S3! Most of the aftermarket stuff so far doesn't look as good as the stock stuff. I like yours and I bet the fact that they were blue helped your decision to buy them! LOOKS GOOD!

I think they look awesome. Great job!

Those look great and thumbs up for having the nadds to try something different. You should of posted saying you are marketing a new product and are selling systems for $800. I bet you would sell quite a few. Question is do they sound the same as they do on cars; you know that farting in a metal coffee can sound?

Gawdy. Rice looking. But I appreciate your trying to be different.
I still like the stock looking mufflers.
Why are some car and bike folks are so anal about mufflers?
Personally, I like NO mufflers.

Way cool! The bike looks like a serious sound producing machine.
