Thanks for your response revhead. If I read your post correctly, you are commenting on the Jardines vs. stock.

Is there anyone out there that has experience with both the TOR with cat bypass and Jardine systems and can make an all around comparison over stock and between the two? I have heard TOR's in person but never ridden, and I have never seen or heard Jardines in person. I'm trying to get some info to help decide which system I want to buy. It would be great if I could try them out, but you just don't see many RIII's around in any configuration (which is one of the things I like about it).

Just standing around revving I thought the Jardines were maybe a bit louder than my TOR's/cat bypass. The sound is different. The Jardines are deeper and more resonant. The TOR's sound raunchier. Even though the Jardines may be louder, they sound more muffled (that may not make sense but that's the way it is).

My mechanic says I would get a few more HP from Jardines and he's put quite a few sets on, probably more with Unifilters and a PCIII tune.

Unfortunately, I don't like the way the Jardines look. I can't deal with 2 mufflers. The triple pipes is one of the unique things about the Rocket. Even though the Triumh header may be less efficient, I like the way it looks.

You're not going to take a Busa in the 1/4 in any case unless you do a lot more than Jardines.

I have a few friends with Mad Dogs. They sound great and look the part. They are a nice alternative to the Triumph TOR's while still retaining the unique look of the 3 pipe setup.

Yep the mad dogs are a nice set of pipes my mate has these on his, i had a set of Madaz on before i fitted the Jardines. Ayways my bike run a 11.509 1/4 Mile @ 119.40 MPH tonight. Only got beat to the 660' once and that was by a Busa and only just at that. Rocket was by far the quickest to 660', then the GXR's and the Busa's go round and are way ahead at the 1000'. Most of them were running high 9's or low 10's. Can post race slip if any one interested. :-D

Just to make sure I'm not missing any new product. Are these the same Mad Dogs listed at NewR3.com. I haven't found any reference to "Mark 11" and I can't find a Mad Dog company website. The only Mad Dogs I've seen are 3 into 1 into 3 and require either the cat or a by-pass, basically a cat-back set of silencers.

Take a look at this link, it provides a lot of vendors making R3 performance parts.

I had a set of Mad Dogs on my bike for about two weeks; didn't like them. My dealer took them back for store credit, and I believe still has them if anyone's interested. The dealer is Libbys' Motoworld in New Haven, CT at 203-772-1112.

why didnt you like the mad dogs?

I am looking into new exhaust and definitly want to stick to the 3 pipe look.

second is sound and third performance.

Are the Mad Dogs with the RIVCO cat bypass better or worse than the TORS with the Triumph cat bypass?

Are there any other 3 pipe options.

Didn't like the backfiring, and the dealer could not eliminate it. Did have more power, though.
