Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Exhaust Modified Triumph Off Road Pipes

Has anyone gotten these pipes or heard anything about them? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4606267103

When I bought my bike, I had Palm Beach Triumph install the Triumph Off Road (TOR) shorties. Very quiet until I drilled holes in the baffles and even then they were too quiet. I finally settled on Epcos and love them.

I assume you have the stock pipes now? If your budget is tight and you can get them for $75 or less, $100 would be OK (including his reasonable shipping of $25). I have see TORs go for less here but you have to watch the Classifieds for them.

You will definitely have to do some surgery on them to get some bigger sound and a little performance.

Another thing. He calls them new but it looks like there is some exhaust residue. Hard to see in that photo. I would ask about that. When mine were brand new, you could still see the metal inside. They were not black. Why not these? Are they 'almost new'?

I would ask about the hangers. Are they included? Also ask about scratches, dents, scuffs, etc. If they are new, they should not have ANY of these.

I see that he has 5 sets of pipes (4 BA, 1 SM). Why didn't he do a Dutch auction? Or is he going to list each set separately. Another good question for the seller.

Anyhoo, the TORs served me well for the time I had them and if I had stockers and limited funds, I would try to nail a set of these cheap!!

I have a set of off road pipes, these are the ones in the picture you posted. They are the bottom lot centre in the photo. They seem a little bit louder than the original (OEM) but still very quiet.

I keep them for winter riding as we tend not to get stopped in winter by the police for exhaust checks in the UK. But have been warned I will get fined once, in summer when I had them on.

I just read the fine print... He wants your stock pipes or $65 plus winning bid price.

I have been thinking about the Epco's , you like yours? Do you recomend them? What jet's do they come with?

Absolutely love them. They came with 160s

Check the sound clip. They are very loud. Too loud for my taste. For me the factory TOR's are loud enough.

From the text of the add they're "modified".. I'm betting that in a lot of cases they're standard pipes and he's chewing the baffles out with a hole-saw, same as we do here, and calling them TOR's. What else would he want your standard pipes for?

I guess you're right. But they are still loud.

I ordered some from them. I checked the parts # and they do match up with stock tors. I did however send him my stock pipes. He's prob modifying the stock pipes as said before. Anyone want mine i'll sell them.
