Did Triumph change the pipes on the 2008 models?

They appear to be double wall, at least past the first two bends. Also, am I imagining it, or did they slightly change the shape? Here's a slide I made using photos off the Triumph UK and USA sites showing a 2007 and 2008 T100.

I tried to draw a few lines through the photos to see if various pieces aligned differently. The only significant difference (aside from a fatter fuel tank) was that the line of the exhaust pipes now seem to flow better with the lines of the frame downtubes.

Optical illusion or real? I'm not sure whether there is a difference, or if it's just different camera angles of the bikes.

I think they did. The header right at the first bend looks more thruxton-like. I've noticed this in other pics I've seen.

I don't think its on on the Triumph website yet, but the 2008 accessories catalogue the dealer gave me shows two different catalogue numbers for the carb'ed (or as they call them "non-EFI") and the 2008 EFI TORs. I'm not sure where I read it, so take with a large pinch of salt, but think that the 2008 exhausts have catalytic converters in them where as the carb'ed ones don't.

PS sorry, 2008 catalogue is on the website, as a downloadable pdf but not in the interactive selector thing. Exhausts on page 38... Clicky
