R3T derestricting

The problem with the under seat airfilter is the torturous route the air takes to get into the air box (intake is on bottom of seat pan) and then out to the plenum. Out of the airbox it takes a strange route up into the plenum. By going with a RamAir or triple K&Ns (different systems) you get a much smoother airflow IMO. That will also open up your airbox for storage or relocation of the overflow bottle. When I put the RamAir on I did a new tune and put it on the Dyno, the dyno, same tuner and only change was the RamAir in place of the stock air filter and air delivery route gave me nearly 11 HP. In HP world 11 HP for 100 dollars (at the time) was a pretty good investment. I have a tune, TORS and RamAir. To get any more HP I will need to spend the big bucks (headers).

The 3 K&N or the Ramair. They are two different options to do the same thing and remove the plenum between the air box and the throttle bodies. They both have roughly the same advantage and the same hassles. What do you do with the engine breather, for example. I think these outperform my under the seat K&N, but I think it does not madder, unless you want to change the complete exhaust as well. I think the under seat K&N will breath a lot better than your thick Mastercool pad like paper filter. It is a simple drop in, but if you change to any better air filter and better mufflers, you will need to remap the tune.

My question for the form is .... Has anyone tried removing the Stock crimps or denting on the exhaust manifold and what was the result? The crimps a few inches down from the port behind the Crome heat shield.
 
I agree with Bob it will breath better, it is just a lot of modifications.

Just don't go on an overnight ride with Bob and ask home to handle the fire.

I think the stock headers are "beautiful". I'm willing to change everything aft of the stock headers, but everyone admires the stock R3 headers. All the aftermarket headers may offer better performance, but not better, ( or even equal ), looks. So, when it comes to financial investments, since the TORS are around $600.00, how much is a full exhaust system? Just a ball park figure. I've been partial to the Carpenter pipes, myself, as full systems go. What other manufacturers make full exhaust systems for R3T's? I don't want to melt my hard bags. Thinking about D&D's when it comes to slip-ons, along with the K&N under the seat filter, and a new "tune". Really trying to determine, though, whether to go with a less restrictive under the seat filter, or small, individual air filters under the bear claw, ( because you're right, it is a circuitous route that intake air has to travel to get under the seat ). Would I get better performance out of those small, individual air filters under the bear claw? Thanks.
 

G'day Russel ,I think you are on the crossroads between a little "tickle up " and a extensive modification of your Touring, it depends just what you want from your bike, When I bought My 2011 Touring I was happy with the overall look and comfort of the bike but knowing it was hobbled by in built restrictions to the performance, I considered doing a major performance increment, but being wary of the outcomes of altering what is already a respectable performing bike I went the well tried route of TORS,K&N Underseat air filter in stock airbox, crossoverpipe for the exhaust removing the Abomination of a thing Triumph insist on installing as a crossover,then took the bike to a professional Dyno tuner who designed a tune for my riding style and requirements what I have now is a stock looking bike that goes better than a stock Roadster on the Dyno ,and the sound from the TORS with the crossover pipe is a nice bonus, the performance capability far exceeds my requirements , nothing wrong with all the modifications many of the guys have done but I am more than Happy with my slightly "tickled up" Touring

I believe I'll be happy too, with my R3T slightly "tickled up". Before I go wild though, I'll take baby steps. Then after riding it a year or so, I may become more ambitious. Frankly, the R3T is a bike I'll never part with, and I can't imagine any manufacturer that will ever build a better bike. I'm already quite happy with its performance, ( but, I'm greedy ). I admit it. I want more speed, louder sound, etc. So, thanks. I appreciate hearing fromyou.
 
Hi guys, just a quick question. I've just gotten my touring (2008) and wanted to load a new map to derestrict the bike. Somehow all the reading seems to point to tripps and hanso. Possible to share what's the different and point me to the latest file please?
 
HansO sent me a tweaked version of the power tripps tune,feels nice,has a little more power mid range than the original tune, I enjoy it immensely
