Ordered a set yesterday, not sure what to expect. I hope they are not a hollow tinny sounding set of pipes like some I have heard.

Stock mufflers are really quiet, I want a nice mellow rumble.

Anyone here using them? I would like some input.

Thanks

I just bought my scrambler this week and it came w/ the tors. I can't compare it to the stock since I never heard them. I love the way the tors sound, (throaty but not overbearing)

I think you'll be pleased. I think it might give a small hp and torque boost.

good luck

I rode my 06 Scrambler for a week before the TOR's arrived at the dealership and it was way too quiet..... the TOR's give her a throaty growl that is absolutely perfect and maker her sound as cool as she looks....... they are an absolute necessity......

Stupid newby question, but I have seen TORS discussed all over the forum, read lots of reviews, and I have even bookmarked a cheap website to buy them off of, but I still dont know what the hell the T.0.R actually stands for....

forgive me!

Still nothing on the Staintune site - do you have any pictures ?

Also, re the TORs - I reckon they sound a bit raspy and crackly. I too would prefer something more mellow and rumbly.

Cheers
