In this weeks video I maximize the amazing exhaust note of my Triumph Speed Twin with Vance & Hines slip on silencers and then I add a Tec-Bike parts x pipe Catalytic converter delete. Part of my triumph Speed twin accessories series, I do sounds tests along the way for easy comparison. Wow what a difference it all makes, its a totally different animal now! Enjoy!

Which setup sounds best?! are the V&H silencers worth the money for their good looks?

@llloralles 5 лет назад

now you should try it without the dbkiller

@thecomedian4967 5 лет назад

Did you have to get a power commander for the fueling or did the motorcycle ecu adjust the fueling adequately enough?... I have the same setup on my Thrux R.

I can understand your pleasure at these mods because I did similar on my T120. Vance and Hines plus xpipe. It isn't much louder but the engine does feel more free and it is more fun in low gears in town. Good job for doing it yourself! I am not so patient ha ha. Keep up the good videos.

Stuart commented that the v-clamps were fiddly. (!) I'll say. I ordered a set of real V-clamps but they came too big so after waiting a week I went back into the battle with the Triumph parts. Scraping a bit of gasket ff each on the concrete floor made all the difference. Enjoy your ride.

I thought about the V&H slip-ons for my new Speed Twin. Glad I didn't get them as they're too close to the stock cans although I'm sure withOUT the db killers in they'll be much better. I instead ordered the Remus pipes from the Thruxton and hope to have them in a week or 2. Will take the db killers out for sure. Still up in the air about the x-pipe though. Time will tell.

@robstopforth8982 5 лет назад

TEC X pipe is worth the faffing around. 3 hours with someone who knows what their doing with all the right tools and it’s always the last clamp that fights back. Sounds good even with the standard cans plus a bit of weight saving.

@wunder8962 3 года назад

How much weight did you save? I’m curious if you weighed the slip ons and x-pipe before you put them on and weighed the stock mufflers and cat after you took them off. I went to a Triumph dealership yesterday to look at this exact bike and I definitely think this will be my first upgrade. Also thinking about ohlins on the rear.

@DEeMONsworld 5 лет назад

nice job, and not too much cussing. I did the same job on a Street Twin, seemed you struggled with different things than I struggled with, but then different bikes.take the baffles out, and hear it roar. Air filter makes little difference, I assume you removed the snorkel? that is a big difference of the two. The adaption just resets the ecu to default, It will adjust by itself over time, just a little more quickly if you run the reset regimen.

(most sensible on traffic jams). Thank you very much

@Mollygower Год назад

I bought the Tec X-Pipe a year ago for my speed twin. I'm not sure i I should fit it or not. I'm living in Spain and they check emissions here for the MOT (ITV). This means I would have to reinstall the cat every time I get my bike tested. I'm not sure if the time it would take is worth it.

@RobertSmith-bh5cv 5 лет назад

In the final comparison starting at 18:45, the stock exhaust clearly sounds deeper and, at least to me, better. The V&H and the V&H + X pipe have a higher pitch and less refined sound. I'm not against performance mods and if the V&H + X pipe gives you a feel, (you claim it has more torque), that's great. But from a sound perspective, at least from the perspective you shot in the video, stock wins IMHO.

no need to do the air cleaner the stock filter set up flows more air then the engine can use also you need to reset the ecu start the bike and let idle DO NOT TOUCH THE THROTTLE after the fan comes on and cycles off turn off the engine then your good TEC parts makes a cam that will bump up the hp to 114 it is the same grind that is used for the collector edition thruxton

@davidmohr4004 2 года назад

Hi Stephen...little late to respond but if you haven't got that far...I I have a '22 Speed Twin and actually like the stock sound. I like it even better after I took the baffles out. Super easy job on the US model. Once the the tack weld on the retaining screw was ground off with a dremel, the baffles should slide ride out. Mine were a bit to tight to just slide out but i made a little j hook jig that pulled them right out with out having to pry on them...super easy. I am waiting on a Freespirits XL pipe and want to see how it sounds with the decat and the stock pipes without the baffles. Might be able to keep it less expensive without having to buy pipes if the stockers sound good enough without the baffles.

@AdamCroll 4 года назад

I wouldn’t describe it as raspy, at least not in an exhaust leak kind of way, I’d say it’s more of a deep visceral bass sound improvement for mine, in my opinion of corse. Everyone’s ears are different though. As long as you can’t find a leak then I guess it’s up to your opinion of the sound, and of corse every slip on exhaust will change it as well.
