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 vote for the stock exhaust on my 2020RS

Same here.

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.

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.
