The stock pipes fit so, I would imagine the TOR's would. Don't know for sure about the other parts but I dont see why not.

Only if you use the Thruxton header pipes.

"Only if you use the Thruxton header pipes."

Why do you say this?

I have Thrux cans on Bonnie headers. I bolted them right on without any issues.

Can you post a pic of your exhaust?

Soulrebel is right, they fit straight on the bonnie headers. Maybe Hogtied, is refering to the angle that the header and the silencer clamp on at??? As it's not straight but it holds tight, but a set of the chrome covers that come on the thruxton that cover the clamp should cover the sku-wiff angle up.

There are subtle differences between the Bonneville and Thruxton headers that result in a slight difference in the angle of the header outlets (where the mufflers clamp on). However, careful positioning and quality exhaust clamps will allow the dissimilar parts to fit together. The only difficulty is the centerstand/sidestand stop, which will not match up and requires an extension. Below is a shot of my '03 T100 with Thruxton mufflers installed. The clamp covers (available as a Triumph part) hide the junction of header and muffler...

Sheepdog, I have never seen the pipe turn blue like that at the lower secund bend of the header and the top bend is LESS blue. I wounder what is causing this.

Early in my Bonneville's life...before I disconnected the AI...I left the bike warming up on the driveway while jacking around with my gear in the garage. By the time I got outside, my headers had turned bright red all the way past the crossover. After that episode, my pipes remained quite blue until I cleaned them up a couple of years ago. They look better now, but some of the discoloration still remains at the crossover junction:
