TOR Exhaust ??

[jphish]

Background (who cares?):  Aquired an 06' Tiger last year as a "spare" for when my 'collectors item' Uly was intermittently down for parts (sad story :( )  As it turns out I find their roles reversed - Uly is now more my regional ride & Tiger goes on the long trips. As a consequence am spending more on Tiger farkles, & I'm really coming to appreciate what this tall beast can do. Thinking of installing TOR exhaust - but I dont like LOUD bikes. Just a bit more rumble from the triple when accelerating. 1) Is it much louder?  2) Is it worth it ?  3) Do you have to remap ECM & what does dealer usually charge for that? And finally...anyone got a unit forsale??  Thanks in advance. j

and yes you will need a remap but no idea how much that is !!

TOR not loud.... nice low growl on acceleration; Hardly noricable going down the road.

If you want 'sharp-rasp'..... get a RotLe pipe. Hard to find but really adds some HP ( 10% - 11%) and warm to the touch; Polished stainless steel.

Blue Flame is the way to go IMHO.  I got the 2 port stainless steel.  You can remove one or both of the baffles to fine tune the sound.  I run with both out and it isn't too loud.  Just a nice low growl.  Gave me some extra oomph on acceleration too.  Street legal.  No remap needed.

I had mine remapped at my local dealer and they only charged me 1/2 hour shop time.  I think I paid no more than $40.  Well worth it no matter what pipe you go with.

Hey - Thanks folks. Do I understand correctly that the TOR is no longer available from Triumph for the Girlies ? Ya gotta find a used one ? I'll consider the other options ya'll mentioned as well. TTFN. j

[jphish]

I posted on "everything else for sale" but dont want to sell one...want to buy one. Anybody got a "spare" they want to part with? TTFN, j

KuzKenny...
I guess that list is both good & bad.....
Good that it lists some Triumph Tiger 'bolt-on' stuff that most won't buy.
Bad that it list bolt-on stuff most won't buy ....

but is further conclusion that aftermarket folks are not chasing Triumph and evidently Triumph is not interested.

That's the achilles heel at Triumph.
I own a 2006 Tiger. The brakes are horrible; Suspension is less than mediocre, Seat is a POS, Windscreen is a 'Plastics-2-go'... but the motor is great.

SO I replaced several pieces with 'better-for-me' aftermarket. Now I am looking for  floating disks and upgraded calipers.. Let's not talk rear shock... or wind protection . ... or alternator .... or centerstand ..... or 'what-might-have-been' had they been looking forward.

The STICKER shock for a Triumph is not WHAT YOU PAY.... it's WHAT YOU WILL PAY to bring up to snuff.

PS: This has been my bitch since day one.
      I like my Triumph.... but it takes tolerance!

[jphish]

Yeah - Tigers aint purrfect, but you can (after empty piggy bank) bring them a step closer to 'pretty darn good'. I cant believe how much difference the Palmer brackets & screen make. OK -so - Silencer, Race I take it is the TOR ? Is 'race' the same as 'off road' ?? The description leaves a bit to be desired, but I will go from here & try to get to there. Thanks all, j

They don't seem to come up for sale used very often.  I got mine a few months ago when one of the Triumph stores in England was selling them for 70% off retail.  With shipping to the US it was $195.

I got the TOR exhaust for my Girly from these guys a couple of months ago.  It arrived from overseas fairly quickly.  The shipping cost almost as much as the pipe but the overall cost was under $200.  I thought it was a good deal.

[jphish]

Pizzaman' - That IS a good deal. How do you like TOR compared to stock ? j

[jphish]

Since EvilBetty jumped to a 'Roadie', I'm gettin the one off "Lucifer". Thanks for the assistance folks. j

I have an 01 with the TOR, just picked up an 02 with a Staintune. Prefer the TOR. Loud but I stay off the throttle around the neighbors and it's fine. Nice system, in fact rumour has it that it's made by Staintune, sounds way different though.
