Is the TORS loud enough?

So, the TORS is not much loader than stock and has a nice rumble?

Yes the Tors on a touring eliminate the Cats and have a bigger outlet, they maintain the stock look and give off(IMHO) a nice deep growl when cruising and a crisp note under acceleration with a remap of the ECU it's all I need, the CES pipes do sound nice but I prefer my TORS:inlove no hassles with Mr Plod and RMS "random" noise checks:whitstling:
 
Unsure if you guys are speaking of a can mounted onto the stock header or custom tuned headers?
The CES 3 - 1 header only can be purchased and you can add a can of your own choosing.
I have run the stock 3 - 1 straight open without any muffler and was surprised at how quiet it was. I have two megaphones that I tried and they were WAY TOO loud - even for me! Louder than my open pipe 125 inch V-Twin!
If you want loud, I guarantee a tuned header (or the stock one) with open can or megaphone will be more than enough for you!
On the Roadster you can easily remove the mufflers (w/ cats) and the empty collector and then add the can of your choice.
I was going to use the stock headers to use a 3 to 1 can. thanks for the info :thumbsup:

That's what I had on last year.
Pix was taken after I returned from RAA and I had wiped off the can in a tight righty.

I currently have TORs on. I also have the Ramair filter and a custom tune.
I changed the RPM limit to 6700 last autumn, and was going pretty fast for a few weeks. Especially on the Autobahn, trying out the highspeed behaviour of the Roadster with bags & windshield at full throttle.
After doing that, I have to say the sound of my TORs has improved a lot. While they were almost the same volume as stock pipes in the beginning, they really sound surprisingly good now. They have become much louder, and have a very crisp and aggressive note, especially when the engine is hot.
