Im after a new pipe for my Tiger.

Mines the 885i, not the 955i. Now im wondering, do they use the same pipe? It would make life a lot easier if they did. Anyone got any ideas where/when/how etc i can get one? Anyone got one going cheap? Something like a Remus/Quill/Micron etc?
Any help would be appreciated.
Heres my bike so you know which one it is

Staintune (Aussie) Has removable baffle.

Thunderbikes (NZ) Fantastic sound and power.

I have been using a "Thunderbikes" pipe and tune for a while on my 06 955i and I am very reluctant to give it back!

Unfortunately I have been riding it faster and faster and now my wife thinks it gives her a headache and I am behaving like a teenager when out on my own!

To add to her opinion, I fell off and broke my shoulder blade and re organised my left rib cage so my argument has lost ground a little.

Just love the response and sound of that Thunderbike pipe but as soon as I can ride again it has to go back to the owner. ****! Cheers John.

PS: forget about global warming, I think we have a worse case of Global Hardening to worry about! "Ouch".

I'm not sure about the 885i engine but i have just fitted a Blueflame Titianium
Evo twin port on mine Fleabay £150, no Baffles were included.(sounds fantastic but not for long miles)
I rode 260 miles on Sunday gone and it was smooth but Bloody loud, I recieved a baffle set from Blueflame this morning and coverd 170 miles today and it's still silky smooth compared to the standard can and my ears arn't ringing either,Blueflame were very helpfull on the phone and the service was fantastic,The quality of the Exhaust speaks for it's self see pic's.
Also a quieter Exhaust will keep Outrunner (ANDY) Happy as I'm not a noisy Bugger any more

Dont look at the Jubilee clip I orderd the clap aswell





Hope this helps BIG BILL

I have a Triumph loud can with heat shield fitted to my 2005 955 Tiger which I expect would fit onto the 855.The can is actually from a 2002 Tiger.I may be interested in selling as I've just fitted the standard can for MOT and touring duties. The Triumph loud can is not too loud at all so doesn't cause any offence. If interested you can post me a message.

Blueflame reckon it will fit the 885i no problem.

Prices start at £170
