Another Custom Exhaust system

OK, I've been convinced. Curious about the "bell mouth effect" I pulled the rubbers out of my old standard plenum and, after a little fiddling, put them in my intake. All that was needed was a little grinding and cutting to get the three ends level and in-line. Great piece of kit that it is, some will recall that it was only ever the prototype that Cobba made. I have been using simple rubber tubes with a couple of hose clamps to attach it to the throttle bodies; now the bell mouths. Did a 12 minute tune and gave it a bit of a workout this morning on the way to work. I can say unequivocally that there is a significant and noticable boost. A twist of the throttle at 3000rpm in second has the rear spinning and the bike fishtailing. Previously it was more inclined to lift the front wheel a little. Anyway, I'm totally convinced. Just thought I'd say so.

Hi Mate! I'm new to this site & loving everyones knowledge & enthusiasm for R3's!
I'll introduce myself quickly as Tomcat suggested to me earlier:
I've been playing with motorbikes since i could ride one, got into pulling them apart & putting them back together & built some show bikes over the years & bits & pieces for other people - custom & stock - i specialise in the making of top quality hand made leather goods for motorcycles & riders, I am a saddlemaker by trade also harness making, bootmaker, leather tutor, etc so my 35+ years of experience & knoweledge in the leather field has enabled me to bring together my love of leather & bikes to create some pretty awesome ****, so i have been told by numerous people. one of the first triumph's i built is in the very first issue of Live To Ride magazine (titled GO FOR GOLD) written & shot by John Hunter Farrell in the 80's

I have a 2010 Roadster which i have been customizing since i got it - had it dyno'd at Springwood ProDyno Tune at 170 horsepower to the back wheel - i am VERY interested in a set of these pipes you & your mate have been making - just the header pipes really - i rekon it'd get 180 with your design so i am keen as to get my hands on a set - if you need a donor bike & if mine would suit what you're after i'd be more than happy to help - i'm local (Redlands) so let me know!
cheers!
