It's packed round the outside , this gives it the deep rumble , if it wasn't it would have a higher pitch tin can sound . There is no baffle in the pipes and the diameter is a little larger inside .
A baffle is a restriction or disruption of air flow in the pipe , TORS is a non restricted over size inner pipe running through the inside of the exhaust . The outer casing of the exhaust of course is packed to suppress the sound .
Thats surreal!
Oh. Now i get it. Id still like to modify, but id hate to mutilate perfectly good tors. Is the power increase really noticible by putting a new exhaust? I installed ram air and the appropriate tune, it seems to have more intake noise than power. I know i need to get to a dyno but that'll take some pre-planning because thats 300 miles away.
Precisely , the TORS don't need messing about with . Not sure about the power increase as I bought the bike with TORS already installed . I have installed Ramair myself and it definitely breaths better and is smoother on the throttle , maybe a slight increase in power but the one thing i did that did make an improvement in power not masses but noticeable was to install a Tuneecu download . The one I downloaded was from Martin-Brighton-uk he is on your thread . He had his bike professionally tuned then shared it on this site , For me it works really well so no need for me to pay to have it tuned I am happy with that .
Yeah, my tune is nels tune 20368. I too got my bike the way it is. I only installed the ram air and updated the tune. It runs smooth with no popping ever. It just seems the torque is not mind blowing. I think it needs a little intake restriction, although i have nothing to base that theory on. Most people on here say 100% open secondaries are the way to go(which my tune provides).Precisely , the TORS don't need messing about with .

No doubt a professional tune is the best thing to do but for me I am ok .
My bike is 2014 Roadster so Martins tune fitted my bike . You would need to look for a tune on here that fitted your set up and your bike a 2008 touring , TORS and Ramair.
Depends how far you want to go as your bike will have a Cat in the crossover , this is a big restricter and others have bought the cat delete to fit in its place . That would probably would see the most gain ( TORS , Ramair Cat delete ) for the least outlay .
Of course if you want to go further it would be Viking or zard exhaust and headers with a pro tune , its all costs though and where do you stop . Supercharger , Turbo .
