Stop Press:............Strange goings on in the Tyne Tunnel today...



Drivers were reporting strange sounds coming from the Tyne Tunnel today. It was first thought that there was a wild animal on the loose, causing panic amongst drivers and mayhem at the tollbooths.

It was later discovered that it was just another manic Triumph Tiger rider having fun with an aftermarket exhaust. A police spokesman said "We have come across this before, and unfortunatley this seems to be natural behaviour for Tiger riders There is no cause for concern they are perfectly safe to approach" :-D :-D :-D

Hey Big Stripey- I like it!

I have a boring question for you guys, though: I run the offroad tune through a standard stock exhaust. Are you guys getting a more performance out of the aftermarket exhausts, or just more of that nice sound? Don't get me wrong- the sound in itsself is probably worth it, but I'm just wondering how much greater performance I could expect if I invested in a new exhaust.

Thanks guys- Keep it up!

:yayyy: The tiger doth roar with an after market can. I've got a blue flame dual outlet. With the plug in the lower outlet it sings a nice mellow tune. Pull the plug and yeow!!!
