R3 Exhaust question/s

[TriumPhil]

Let's cut to the chase, poleinsider!

You want too beef up the note/sound/noise from your exhaust and are not necessarily looking to add gobs of add'l power and you'd prefer to run your R3 with exhaust pipes on both sides of the bike. Is that correct?

If so, your easiest and probably least expensive options are Triumph's TORs (sounds like a cross between a large John Deere Tractor and a stock car)or looking up a fellow member here named Dain. He's come up with a very quick, easy and inexpensive modification that will do the trick, but you will have to mail your exhaust system to him.

If you are looking for significantly more power as well, then the other recommendations made in this thread will provide that for you for anywhere from about $800 - $1,800 not including labor and retuning. Most of the two-sided systems actually rob power, although many, including myself, prefer the cosmetics of a "balanced" exhaust set up, so in ascending order of power gains and cost, your best bets, IMO, are Paul Bryant (he'll make whatever your mind can conceive - one-sided or two), CES and Carpenter Racing which both offer big-power-making 3 into one systems.

So my question to you is, "Whaddya' actually wanna' do and how much are you willing to spend?"

Allan I also put on a set of David Platt Outlaw pipes. Was wondering what tune did you use? I have a lot of decel pop. Thanks

I haven't done a proper tune yet. I just followed Dave's instructions ( which is the old 12 minute tune) and it works pretty well, very little if any decel pop. I am having it Dyno'd by Dukes of Cycle locally here in a week or two when the air temp is more reasonable than the 4 and 5 degrees we have been getting and that should make a big difference.

Nat what tune are you running with the Outlaw exhaust?

Hey hideout . I have the outlaws and the Ramair plus pcv . Being a tune ecu dummy I was lucky enough to find a dyno tuner a couple hours ride away who specialises in Triumph race bikes and preps a team for the TT races . He is also experienced with the R3 . He wrote me a custom map for the pcv and altered settings in the bikes ECU. It cost me £400 But was money well spent because the bike was transformed ! When he tuned the bike it was fitted with Tors and after fitting the outlaws I expected I would need a retune , but this didn't seem the case . The bike runs lovely with the existing tune and outlaws with only the very occasional pop in overrun whilst travelling slow in the higher gears . I am learning the tune ecu and hope to play with settings in the future but anything i do in that regard , i shall have checked out on the dyno .
Hope this helps ?

Hands down if you are all about spending as much money as can be spent, (with some good results and some not so good results), then go all the ways mentioned. Unless your goal is to stimulate the world wide economy, then consider how can a huge gain be made by not breaking the bank. If your goal is to get a big bang and spend as little as possible, here is my suggestion.

Get the D&D slip on pipes. $800. They look great. 1 on each side. They sound great. A little more sound than stock with the baffle in and just loud with them out. They are great pipes and you will love them. 2008-2015 Triumph Rocket III Touring Slip-on | D & D Exhaust

Download the modified TuneECU R3T_Slip tune for free. Assuming you have a computer and you will need to buy the cable for about $20. This tune alone adds about 30 HP.

This combination will make your Touring jump. I have helped 2 guys here locally with this combination and the results have been astonishing.

If you want even more power get the RamAir intake filter system. $150.

For under a GRAND much can be attained and the bike will still be a sleeper and look stock.

Nat - Could you post some GOOD close ups of the Outlaw? - Esp underneath - want to see Tyre Clearance etc.

Edited - - Forget it - found one TRIUMPH ROCKET 3 ROADSTER OUTLAW SYSTEM

I really do not like the Roadster heatshields.

I know what you mean bout the heatshields !
My only small , and very small gripe about the outlaws is that I wish they had the same o/s diameter as the stockers which would have kept the lines smoother with the shields . Altho the quick bark that you get from the outlaws and positive comments from other bikers , and one soon learns to live with it !

The resident tuning God is @HansO but he is currently crooked after an accident whilst jumping 11 END TO END* double decker buses . ( that's what I heard ) I'm sure he can help you via tune ecu when he is up and about !
I have the outlaws and love em .

*Fixed it for now! Remember, myths involving the Gods never die they just improve with the telling.

It is amazing how silly rumors start and next thing everybody is believing them to set the record straight it was 10 double deckers(not the candy) London tourist buses with the tourists still on the buses then DrWho came along and stole the last bus causing Hanso to say WTF then he crashed, i hope this sets the record straight.

That was it . But I left the doctor who bit out coz that sounded a bit far fetched to me !

LOOK like a SHORTER version of the stock pipes . SO can we see the DYNO results so we can see the power increase
