Yes D&D still makes the pipes for R3T.

I have exactly the same issue on my 15 Roadster - corrosion in both end cans around the exhaust tip area.
Be aware - my owner's manual says the end cans are only warranted for 1 year (not sure if this is UK only?)
I bought my Roadster April 2015 so I'm going to see the dealer towards the end of March to get them replaced before the warranty expires.

Well, it certainly seems that Triumph has a quality control issue with the end cap on newer models. It will be interesting to see if they do the right thing and recall/replace them and pursue satisfaction with their vendor.
Given my experiences with corporate and some of their dealerships, I wouldn't hold my breath!

You are correct DavidR3R!? Under the section titled 'Noise control system warranty', the pipes are under warranty for ONE YEAR or 3750 miles!! Are they serious??? Looks like I better get on this soon.

I agree 100% and will be pursuing that this week.Redwings01 ,Seems it would be a good time to press Triumph for a set of Tors.

They must be cheaper than the standard one with the cats in them, so maybe they will go for it!

If I recall correctly, the dealer told me the pipe, OEM, was 500 dollars, give or take a few bucks.

Hey Fingers. Spoke with them today. Fun Bike Center in Lakeland has been very helpful. Service Mgr. advises she is going to "open a case", whatever that is, with Triumph. This is actually the third pipe Triumph has given to me. The first, the original, bad, the replacement one sent by Triumph was denied by the Service Mgr. as it was in worse shape then the one she was replacing, and now the current pipe I have. I have to stay on this as the warranty is only 1 year or 3750 miles. I did reiterate my offer of exchanging the OEM pipe for the TOR set up. She said she would offer that up again. If Triumph gives me any crap, I have no reservations about suing them in small claims and putting the district Triumph rep, the CEO of US operations, and head legal counsel on my court papers. NO CEO/legal counsel is coming to poduck Florida for a small claims case. I tell people all the time that my 20 years of experience in law enforcement and the courts has shown me that small claims court, used properly, can motivate even a large corporation to listen to you. The key is naming the right people on the court papers. The dealership said I'm not the only Rocket customer who has had this issue. Right pipe as you sit on the bike. I'll keep you updated! I'm confident Triumph will step up to the plate.
