Installing the SC Project CRT muffler on the Triumph Speed Triple 1200RS 

It's real easy to install. Enjoy it.

Thanks. It sounds pretty good too.

Fantastic. Enjoy it. Ride safe.

Thank you Georgio. I am glad you enjoyed the video and I thank you for taking the time to send a comment. Do you have a Speed Triple?

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel No, i don't have. I wish. Hope one day i'll have one. This bike is simply the best. Enjoy it sire. God bless 🙏 Cheers! With respect Georgio,

I know. I had really hoped the laptop recordings would be crystal clear, but that didn't work out. It's unfortunate but with the chin mount Go Pro background noise and wind are the predominate sound. There is a definite difference. It's deeper and actually seems a bit easier on the ears. I have the typical 40 year motorcycle rider with no ear plugs tinnitus and I think the deeper tone helps. Also, I am familiar with the bike and videos (I've probably listened to them 100 times during editing) so I really hear the difference. I wish it was clearer. I am upgrading to a dual Mike set up soon. Keep your fingers crossed for better sound. Thanks for commenting.

P.S. : I really appreciate the input. Thanks. 🙂

The low single sided muffler is old school looking and it's growing on me. The dual high mufflers was pretty cool looking, but it made carrying saddlebags a challenge. I had an 07 model and used to carry a lot of gear using a tankbag, a tailback, and saddlebags. I found a couple of very high heat resistant packing wires from a Ducati crate and would put them over the heat shields. Otherwise the saddlebags would melt or burn.

Thank you for commenting. I'm glad it helped you. Yours is the second comment about max decibel levels there on track. Many of the other pipes/slip ons seem a lot louder when I hear them. This one sounds pretty quiet next to those. Does that mean you guys basically have to run stock exhausts at the tracks?

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel ….I think the main problem is driving on any road, by city, highway, mountain etc….in Europe, and at least where I live, which is an island, they are very, very strict, you exceed a Decibel, and It's already a penalty of €300 or €600, depending on the mood they're in that day, 🤦🏻‍♂️, it's a shame, we're very limited to making any changes that aren't specified in the technical sheet,….that's why you'll surely understand better than the dream of every European biker, is to be in the USA, 🤷🏻‍♂️☺️😆….here we have a small circuit, we don't have these restrictions to ride….I have already informed myself and through Triumph they can homologate the SC PROJECT, at Just like an independent company, at least I know that these decibels that exceed me, which are between 3 and 7, I can get to homologate them, I hope so, thanks for answering my message, it has been very good to contact you….

@@carlosalexisgarciaarocha3583 I think I understand. In the USA, each state has it's own laws about sound levels for street use. What might be OK in Florida might not pass in California. Some race tracks won't allow open/ straight pipes, but most allow pretty much anything else.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel I understand, I expected that it was the same law for the entire U.S.A., that there was no difference by state, here it is, the laws in this sense cover the entire country, and are the same as the CE….next week I am going to carry out a analysis of the decibels of my motorcycle to see how it is to stay calm even if it is two or 3 dB margin we have…..

Thank you.

You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

You're very welcome. I wish the recordings from the laptop had come out better though. I was really hoping to get clear wind free exhaust notes. Here in America a lot of tracks won't allow straight pipes, but I think they allow a higher decibel rating than you have there. Again, thanks for watching. I'm glad it helped. Ride safe.

Hey Tedex. I was informed by another viewer that I should have done the dB check outside, not in my garage. He says that will show lower dBs due to lack of resonating. I don't know if you have purchased or changed your exhaust yet, but I am going to post a short update video regarding the dBs when taken outside. I plan to do it this weekend, so it should be up soon. Maybe when taken outside, it would be compliant for you. Remember the certificate that was in the box. I think that meant it was Euro legal. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I would be posting an update soon.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel that's interesting.. i did not think about that😅 It makes sense, so now you have to do the test again😅

@@tedex93 Yeah, I hadn't thought about that either. So I'm not going to go through a muffler swap again, instead I am going to assume that the 10 dB higher across the rev range is probably accurate enough. But I am going to redo the check of idle, 5,000 rpm and I'm going to include 6,000 rpm just for you. I'd hate to think my video caused anyone to buy or not to buy a product due to mistaken information. Same with the how-to videos. I'll be giving both you and the viewer who brought this to my attention a shout out in the new video.

​@@tedex93 HI Tedex. I'm going to try to post the update decibel video by this weekend. I've got the numbers though. At idle outside, I'm getting 86-87 dBs. At 5,000 rpm about 98-100 dBs and at 6,000 rpm about 103-104 dBs. So again, I apologize if the indoor readings messed up your or anyone else's plans about the SC Project exhausts.

Were you having problems with mirror vibration too? At lower speeds my mirrors are fine, but at maybe 55 mph or higher they vibrate too much for a clear image.

I like the looks of the OEM mirrors. I'm not a fan of the small round ones. I'll take a look at the ones you mentioned.

I too like them but the vibration above 80 was annoying. The stock ones are cool I had the crg on my old speed triple I like them too. Just thought I would let you know enjoy your channel glad u stuck it out with the bike it's amazing. Almost didn't get it because issues other people had , but I got it and love it not one issue so far.

@@rogerbarfell9075 Yeah, other than the few minor things in the videos, no problems. I am starting to get an occasional rear brake squeal again though. Maybe different pads will help. I had a viewer from India blasting Triumph about his bike and the problems. I wonder if there were just some lemons in the bunch? Did you get a safety recall regarding radiator heat on the legs and a shield to stop it would be installed free of charge?

I have only had it since February all recall done

The catalytic converter is inside the collector section of the header pipes. The three pipes from the cylinders collect into one cannister. The cat is in that piece.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel Thanks my man!

Yes. The upper tube of the OEM muffler is straight through with a slight bend down. You can see through it clearly. You cannot see through the lower tube of the OEM muffler. Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

I had used a microphone behind the muffler, but the recording was so bad that I could not use it. I now have two wired mikes that I can connect to the Go Pro. Maybe I will do that in the future.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel thanks a lot.

Yeah. A lot of people feel that way. The dual high set up was the Speed Triple look for years. I used to do long trips on my 2007 Speed Triple using soft luggage and the mufflers were always a pain when using the saddlebags. So I am just fine with the low set muffler.

Hi MadMattRides. I am in St. Augustine. This is my second Speed Triple. The first being an 07 model. I also owned an 04 Speed Four. I'm happy with the CRT muffler. No other tuning or exhaust mods yet. The bike runs fine with it... no issues. I like simple changes like that. If you'd like to get together to ride, give me an email address or phone number. I am relatively new to You Tubing and I'm not sure I want to post my info here. If you send me an email or phone, what I'll do is simply check it to make sure I have it right, then I will delete your comment. I think there is a way to direct message over You Tube, but haven't figured it out yet. Thanks for watching. I hope to hear from you soon.

It's been a while since I installed that heat shield, but I remember thinking that the muffler clamps could be in the way if the bolts were pointed straight up when installed. Check to make sure they are facing outwards. I have the clamp bolts at the bottom side facing out. I assembled the shield and bracket loosely before installing it to check the fit. Then I removed the shield from the bracket and installed the bracket and clamp as one piece. Lastly I attached the heat shield to the bracket. The clamp fits on the top pipe and can be moved a little bit forward or back. I do remember to be careful with the bolts that hold the heat shield to the bracket. The heads can be easily stripped. Be gentle with them. I hope this helps.

Thanks. Stay tuned. I'm working on a video of a pretty nice ride including a quick top speed run.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel 🤘🏾

I really wish the mic I had connected to the laptop would have worked. It's hard to get really clear sound from the Go Pro.

Thanks Mel.

I don't find it jerky at all. If anything, to me at least, it doesn't respond quickly enough. Bear in mind that I am coming off a 2007 Speed Triple with throttle cables. This is the first bike I've owned with true "fly by wire" electronics. At first, I had assumed that was the reason for the throttle response to be so "soft". I've ridden and worked on a lot of "fly by wire" bikes with TC, but never really thought much about throttle response with them. I mostly run in sport mode and occasionally use rain mode when stuck in a downpour. I may not have a good feel for it, but I don't even notice a lot of difference in throttle response between modes. As far as slow speed first or second gear riding in traffic, I can moderate the throttle comfortably without any abrupt changes in rpms. Perhaps that is why the response is a bit soft a low throttle.

BTW... I forgot to respond about if it can be an everyday bike. Absolutely yes. I was so comfortable on the '07 Triple, that I planned on rebuilding it forever. I said it would be my last bike. I rode it for a couple of years as my only source of transportation and also on trips all around the southeast US going to and from races. It was very comfortable for all day rides. Now that I'm on the new one, I find it just as if not more comfortable than the '07. So yeah, I think it makes a perfect daily ride.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel anything i should look out for when i buy the bike? i see many good examples at bargain price very low miles. like 800 miles 1000 miles, i know a few recalls done but is there anything else i should look for thanks for responding !

@@alfiethefeline3311 So yeah. I have seen multiple problems from You Tubers. From quickshifters that don't work to front brake master cylinders that are broken to radiator leaks. The original issues of loose engine cover bolts and software glitches to broken exhaust valve cover brackets have probably all been addressed, but it would not hurt to check out Sgt. Sodoms experiences with the Speed Triple as well as 2Ups issues. Both are You Tubers who have had some serious issues. Another issue I have heard of is a low oil pressure warning which made some guys afraid to ride the bike fearing it would blow the engine. You could watch my one year video which covers my issues. I did not have any issues that were of consequence and none of them kept me from riding the bike. As with any used bike, low miles or not, if you are not familiar with the bikes issues, you could have it checked out by a competent mechanic. Anyone who would not let a mechanic look over the bike prior to a sale probably has something to hide. So check out those two guys and watch my "1 year with the Speed Triple" video to get a good idea of what to watch out for. Honestly, I think maybe Triumph had some quality control issues at the factory seeing how some guts got lemons.

Another You Tuber who had some issues is Cuban Rider. He has the bike straightened out now and loves it.

It's 10 decibels higher. It seems to be easier on the ears though. Maybe because it has a deeper tone.

SC Project claims "performance gains and weight savings", but I don't recall seeing any numbers. I didn't really expect much HP gain with a simple install. I was going for the looks and hoping for a deeper sound.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel I figured as much but thought I would ask. Thank you.

Hey Dustin. Thanks for subscribing. I hope you are able to get a bike soon. Keep watching, I'm going to try to do a special Halloween video in October.

The baffles are still in. I have it installed just as it came out of the box. To remove the baffles would mean drilling out rivets and I'm not going to do that. It's not superloud like a straight pipe, but I'm OK with it.

After watching the video, I thought it looked like a Chrysler Sebring convertible. That would have made a great race right? LOL. Thanks for watching.

Until I decide to get a full system and/or a tune I'm going to leave it be.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel there is a difference in tone when you have that gate open at all times.. the growl is there from idle... take advantage of the full sound with the pipe

I've never been the guy who puts a lot of mods on my bikes. Mostly just bits for looks. The last bike I had with an aftermarket exhaust was way back in 1983. I went all out on this bike, figuring to keep it for many, many years. This exhaust was expensive and it doesn't really make my hears hurt when I rev it up, but I like it. I would have gone with a different muffler and a remapping and an exhaust valve eliminator if I just wanted the max performance and sound. I liked the look of this dual cannister muffler setup and I'm happy with the deeper tone. Was it worth it? To me it was, but I guess it would depend on what your reasons for a change would be to begin with.

When I bought the bike I had already planned a few modifications, mainly the cameras and lights, but then decided to get carbon fiber happy. That's when I decided to just get what I wanted for it right away. I didn't consider the cost. I plan to keep it forever and I know that I will never get back the money that I put into it. Modifications sometimes even lower the value of vehicles. I did it just to make myself happy.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel Tha k you for your reply - deeper tone is all I want - thank you , love your work by the way

@@colonelquickshifter6534 You're welcome and thanks.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel picking my girl up tomorrow 🤞👍😂😎

Vroom vroom.

So going on a year and a half when this video was done. First time to top it out. I'd say that doesn't make me a habitual traffic offender. Most riders enjoy the power of the bike and will run it up sometimes. Sorry you feel the way you do.

It's arrogant to enjoy life and want a thrill every now and then? 🤣 You must be a hoot at parties

@@kwisclubta7175 Thanks for the support. 🙂

only a "Karen" would write that... "pure arrogance..." sad...Scott, you rocked the video, next one please go faster so we can see what the SPEEDIE does and make sure you tag Karen in it

buy a Speed ​​Trible first! Ride the OEM exhaust, then buy the Sc Project! After that you can judge! You really have no idea. lost boy

There is a definite difference. Unfortunately the only audio I got was through a GoPro mounted to the chin of my helmet, so there is a ton of wind noise. As you can see in the video though there is a 10 decibel difference at all revs.

@@z_brez_r1687 The audio wasn't as good as I had hoped for, but I think you could still hear the difference. The meter reading alone showed a difference. Thanks for the response. 🙂

@@z_brez_r1687 I have one thanks and a full LEIKER exhaust out rear near seat and looks sounds amazing so I know what I want and was just a opinion I’m sorry it upset you

@@scottdiver36 Those exhaust look rad AF man, definitely on my wishlist. Thank you

Would it have read lower outside?

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel yes, it is resonating all over the place. Ideally you do it outside with nothing on the vicinity for at least 3 meters ;)

@@D4rk34g7e Thanks for the advice Dark Eagle. I had a viewer mention that it would be too loud for track or street use in Italy I think, so I'm going to send him a message after I recheck it outside. That was the first time I ever measured the dBs of an engine before. Now I know better how to do it. Thanks again.

@@scottsspeedtriplechannel My bike was checked by the german TÜV, something like an MOT in england i guess. They check vehicles every 2 years and establish their roadworthiness. The apprentice that checked mine did this indoors and it failed (Street Triple with Zard exhaust). His superior then shouted at him, and when they checked it again outdoors, it was noticably quieter and passed.

​@@D4rk34g7e Hey Dark Eagle, how far away from the muffler did they hold the meter? Was it directly behind or above or what? I'm getting g ready to do the retest and want to be as accurate as possible this time. Can you help?
