I have the opportunity to purchase a Triumph Carbon Fiber race canister from a guy in Great Britain. I was wondering if there were any differences between the ones purchased in the U.S. versus the one sold in Great Britain/Europe? Of course, this pipe would be used for riding in the U.S.

Thanks,
John

John,

I could be WAY wrong, but I believe they are the same product. The cans are stamped "for off road use only" because they are not legal in GB for road use because of db levels. I'm not aware that there are general onroad and offroad exhaust can laws in the US. Again, though, I could be all wet.

Well, technically it's illegal in the state of Tennessee anyway...but the cops out here have never messed with me or any of my ridin' buddies. The Harley's out here are a lot louder anyway. My main concern was that the rest of bike would be set up for US specs, and then you bring this Euro product into the picture and it causes problems.

I guess as long as the FI is remapped properly it shouldn't make any difference....I hope...

Thanks,
John
