Like the rest of us, I am trying to get more for less. "more sound and power". Unless anyone can talk me out of it, here is the direction I find myself going: Using my stock 3 pipes, remove the baffles and only purchase/locate the baffles from the offroad pipes. I have come relaize that the pipes look identical and only the baffles are larger in diameter. I will assume the baffles are less expensive than the whole 3 pipes. Of course I will do the CAT box eliminator as well. Still looking for a cheaper way to crack that nut.

Any help on my idea?

According to the Triumph web site, the TOR's go for $549.99 and the silencer upgrade (cat bypass pipe) goes for $369.99.

That's about a 25% increase, which is still reasonable considering how much the dollar has tanked.

You'd better check to see if TOR baffles, assuming you can find them, will go into the stock mufflers.

Others have just drilled the stock baffles out. Sounds klugey.

Then we have the tuning problem. More $$.

You can't win with this.

The baffles in the TORS are like the ones in the stock pipes in that they are welded in and are part of the pipe. They are essentially destroyed on removal. The Jardines have removable baffles, but that is another kettle of fish. You can do as others have done and drill holes in your stock pipes baffles but like as most who have gone this route, you will more than likely eventually buy TORS or Jardines and when the pipe police come knocking you will have to acquire a new set of stock pipes.

Looks like I am back to spending $800 - $1200 for an Exhaust upgrade. I just spent $410 on Progressive 440 Shocks and before that about $500 on back rest luggage rack and sissy bar. Than before that $over $100 for passenger floorborads. Hey wait, I forgot to mention my Corbin Beetle Bags and Front Full Corbin Fairing. Don;t ask how much those three items were...

When will the madness stop??

From my experience . . . It doesn't.

You clearly need to do the Chevy big block upgrade.

Funny you should suggest that, I just got back from Sturgis B ike Rally and there is many Boss Hoss bikes there. Such an awesome feat. If/when I get old and buy a Trike, it will have to be a Boss trike. They are putting 502's in them now.

I just upraded to the Jardines and my drilled out stock pipes and cat eliminator are looking for a good home.

The Classic Special is another reference to the Classic Tourer. When I logged in to do my online survey for Triumph, it referred to my 2007 Classic Tourer as a 2007 Classic Special. Nothing like having more than one name for the same bike!
