Not sure why so many base the sound of exhausts of this compilation. A lot of the videos’ audio is peaking and sounds terrible.

 

I suspect that it is a lack of diversity among the people who actually post links. It seems like most people make references to parts, mods, bikes, whatever without providing a link at all. If more people posted links, then you would probably see a greater variety of videos, images, etc.

..but, yes, the audio is inconsistent and sometimes pretty bad in some of these clips. Please feel free to link to a better video.

Thanks.

 

Fair. What I really meant was, why did these people post these videos with such horrible audio haha

 

The question is for favourite, not best. Some of the clips sound pretty good and it shouldn’t be hard to pick the one you like best (ie actually in the video). However, given the variance in sound quality it’s all pretty meaningless. Opinions are like a***holes; everyone has one. Pointless exercise.

 

I like the deeper rumble but some of them sound like they could be headache inducing (looking at you Two Brothers and Racefit #1).

 

I had a small gp pipe, for fun and because I was a dingus, and it was cool, aggressive, raspy, but entirely too loud.

Rode with an arrow - too quiet for me. For others, it’s great. (Really let’s you have just s bit more volume snd really hear the intake whine)

Currently I have a frankensteined Two Brothers. It’s still loud, but not unbearable. Has a bit of a deeper tone than something like the British customs, but it whiter than the SC Project CR-T. (The latter being one of my favorites).


It’s all preference.
Some like loud.
Some like some grunt.
Some like more rasp.
Some just want a tiny bit of extra, but don’t want to piss off the city or their neighbors haha

 

I vote for the stock exhaust on my 2020RS

 

Same here.

 

Stock exhaust on 675 Street Triple sounds pretty good to me. I bought a '17 675 Street Triple R that had some obnoxious muffler on it and I had to put it back to OEM because the noise was giving me a headache. Fortunately the seller had kept all the OEM parts.

 

Another vote for the stock exhaust -- 2013 Street Triple 675 in my case. Judging by the responses above, it looks like that should have been a choice option.

 

Lets be honest, hardly anyone can outride a Street Triple - certainly not on the road at any rate. Sticking an unattractive generic looking can on one of these beautifully designed bikes in the name of shaving off a kg or two or adding 1 or 2 hp is quite pointless for most riders in most scenarios. None of them look any good and only really add noise. The exception, and only aftermarket option that actually looks like it belongs on the bike, is the Arrow, which also is the only one that has any depth to its tone. And on the 2020 765 the stock can is probably better or at least as good all round anyway.

It’s interesting to compare the limited edition Moto 2 Daytona to the 765 RS. The Daytona with full race exhaust with no cat and carbon fibre everywhere is only 1 kg lighter. It develops around 5hp more (mostly because it revs higher), and virtually the same torque (but also at higher revs) than the Street Triple, stock.

 

If you like quiet, which I still appreciate, then the stock exhaust on the 2018 is very good. However, after riding a Ducati SS, I started to rethink my priorities. It was louder, but not too loud, deep and full of pops and gurgles that I grew accustomed to very quickly. I highly doubt I will be able to replicate that sound on my Triumph and I only heard the briefest hint of even a similarity on the SD Project #1.

Still, it opened up my mind to the possibility of making a change.

 

I don’t necessary like quiet. In fact the 2020 Street RS is the only bike I’ve had in years with stock exhaust. My previous Street Triples have all had Arrows (except for a 660 my wife owned briefly). My Scrambler, Thruxton and Tiger have non-stock systems. My Rocket had a full race system. These bikes all benefitted from the mods.
What I don’t like is noise just for the sake of “loud”. You know, Harley’s with open pipes are horrible, and a tiny can on a Triple doesnt improve the sound, only increases the volume and does little or is worse for performance. There needs to be some substance. The stock muffler on the 2020 RS is a vast improvement over the 2018 and the 675s. Because there’s 2 cats now, each one is less restrictive, helped by the balance pipe that enables more open muffling as well, so it’s actually quite difficult to improve the flow on the latest Triples and the sound is amazing, especially when really gassing them. Not opposed to changes, just noting that Triumph has well and truly moved beyond the “sewing machine” era of only meeting dB limits.

 

I think I agree with all of that. I have 2 other bikes with exhaust alterations. A CRF450L with a Yoshi and a Vortex (loud but doubled the HP) and a 2020 Superduke GT with an Austin Racing slip-on. I like the sound of the Duke with the AR. It does nothing for performance but I think it looks way better than the large stock can that totally blocks the view of the SSSA . And the bike is such a beast it deserves to make its presence felt. ;-)
I'd almost bought an exhaust for the Street before I picked it up and now I think I'm glad I didn't. It does make a nice noise when you're "on it" and I'm actually enjoying have a quieter bike. Agree that probably none of the replacement cans really look that good. Usually making the belly look untidy. The Arrow looks pretty much the same, saves a little weight, I don't care much for the sound improvement with that system... it's better but...

 

I installed the venturi system velocity stacks recently in my 2020RS, it noticeably improved power everywhere in the rev range with no tuning required. If you are looking for more performance I recommend these over a slip on muffler which costs twice as much and may reduce bottom end power.

 

If the Venturi stacks increase performance by increasing air velocity, it seems that a more free flowing exhaust would benefit even more as a result.

...and while it is great that it didn’t require tuning, I expect that a Venturi + exhaust + 92 octane tune would yield fabulous results.

I don’t suppose we have any lurkers who could conf or refute that theory, do we?

 

Sure you can throw more performance parts at it and get good results. There are dyno results floating around that are pushing 130hp. I just wanted to mention the venturi stacks as a good option for those who like the stock exhaust but want more power.

 

Apparently euro5 in europe and euro5 in noth america is not the same. Its more strick in europe continent.. so i dont know

 

I had the GPR on my 13, with dB killer on, and it was melody. I am not for loudness, so that is not what melody means here. LOL

 

I had a pair of MIVV on my 09 for about two hours, with the dB killers in. Sounded glorious on the throttle but induced headache otherwise. Sold them and installed Arrow lowboy full system, just right.

Edit to correct brand to mivv

 

Another vote for the stock exhaust on a Street Triple. I love the intake sound when going WFO from 50mph to triple digits.

Love that honk so much I named my bike “Goose”...

 

I'm not a fan of the open baffle, nor of my stock 15 r. I went with the Remus Hypercone. Was definitely a 3 bears scenario; DB killer too quiet, open too loud, race baffle perfect (for me). The workmanship is beautiful, got the black ceramic one, and I love the tone through the whole rev range.

 

Stock

 

Well, I hate to throw a spanner in the works, but easily removable dB killers/baffles in aftermarket exhausts may soon become a thing of the past. I've been running an SC Project SC1-R titanium minus the dB killer on my 2019 Street Triple R for only 2 months and the carbon fibre end cap is melting. After discussing this with the Australian importer/distributor, it seems this is caused by the exhaust gasses flowing through the small hole where the baffle was attached to the exhaust. SC Project (and I assume other manufacturers also) are under pressure from EU regulators to ensure aftermarket exhausts made for road use comply with Euro 4 standards at least. Race pipes are regulated differently. Therefore the replacement exhaust l will receive under warranty will have the dB killer bolted from the outside with the carbon fibre end cap attached afterwards. This will make removal of the dB killer pretty much impossible. According to the Australian importer, this is SC Project's quick fix to appease the EU regulators. They may develop a different method in the future.

I agree the standard exhaust on the 2020 RS looks and sounds pretty good. I couldn't say the same for stock muffler on my 2019 R.

 

I gotta give it to the Arrow exhaust. It is most similar to the stock but with just a little extra oomph sound to it. I like the little crackles on decelerations too. Not too loud either

 

Not a lot of votes (disappointing) but I'm really surprised the Akrapovik doesn't rate more love, especially since you can choose up to two.

 

I don't see anything on the LeoVince exhaust. My '11 St3 has the GP style one, and I think it sounds dope! I was limited in my options, but i am super happy with it.

 

If you have a video clip, please post it. I'd love to hear it.

 

Competition Werkes GP sounds awesome!!!!,
