So are other exhaust mfgr's in this predicament? Specialty Spares, for example? Epco? Bub? Or do they just have better/more baffling to comply with the regs?




Bub has been the first to step up to the plate with a compliant pipe. Probably won't see more until the standard actually gets adopted into community regulations; that would be a good thing to it surplant the hodgepodge of "I think it's too loud" laws that are on the books right now. The AMA has a good campaign and they've been very successful on the behalf of riders for a long, long time.

My Specialty Spares pass the idle test but fail the swept test so I'm trying a series of different baffling options to see what will work. Like the Sceptres, the SS get approval from all of the riders I've been around and never fail to get a "Man, that Triumph sounds great" respect.

On the other hand, Moe might be the one who's correct. Not many owners posted about the demise so it could just be lack of sales.
