All,

I'm "newbie" about to buy a Triumph (either America or Speedmaster). In other forum, someone commented "don't even think about leaving without a new exhaust... you won't hear the engine over 55mph".

Just wondering, what is your feedback on needing a new exhaust rather than the factory installed? All mods I do will be at shop/dealer, so I imagine expensive. Why would I need a replacement exhaust system on a new bike? There's always "better" mods of course, but really almost a necessity?

Other than specialized exhaust giving a different "experience" like better growl, maybe some increased HP, is there really any very compelling reason to NEED one? Big negatives keeping the standard factory?

Hey, honestly, I'm not rich and not a fanatic (yet).

THANKS>..
