Yes, but there aren't many companies making repro systems for the classic bike market...Think about it.

An old Triumph expert suggested that I should just sharpen a piece of narrow rebar, and hammer it through the stock exhaust/baffles bit by bit until the sound deepened. Anyone tried this? My Canadian exhaust is one of those from which the stock baffles cannot be removed (as per the California exhaust diagram in Files). The baffles start well inside the exhaust.

I got a reply from MikesXS. They said the originals were very loud,
essential straight throughs. So they had a chamber created inside the
muffler to redirect the air and quiet them. SOOOO looks like, unless
that chamber can be removed, these are not going to be the sound you
are looking for.
I was looking at my stock exahaust and was curious. Could a welder cut
the cross over off. Weld plates inplace of the crossover holes, and
then remove some of the baffeling from the stock?
I know it would be a lot of effort. I will find out in the next few
days if it can be done and how much. (IE have a friend who does this.)

That might work if the mufflers were the only silencing part, but that huge tray underneath is part of the silencing. Also, the note of the exhaust is derived from the shape ( and thickness of steel) in the burgess pipes and the stock mufflers don't work in the same way. The engine note gets louder, but in a kind of 'knackered honda twin with cheap magaphones on' kind of way.

Hi Ruari, I saw you posting about the posh exhaust system, from the
info I have found on Japanese web sites the posh comes as an entire system with a new single wall header pipe which will blue, the cost is about 106,000 yen last I saw. If you want anything from Japan talk to the people at Windbell motorcycles in North Van. Their # is 604-990-9876 e-mail is www.jpgreybike.com. I got my tt100's there and they said they could import most parts from Japan. I live in surrey if you are comming over give me a call at 604-501-1448. By the way my name is Grant, good luck.
|
Which could also lower the resale value of the
bike. Not just because it has a funky, non-reversable tone, but because if I
looked in the exhausts and saw that they had been modified with a hammer, I'd
pass on the bike. 'cause I'm doubting the fella measured the airflow before,
then after, and jetted accordingly. Now if you had a spare pair of stock
mufflers...

Yes, I'm not too terribly keen on it.?
Especially if it gives a "knackered Honda twin" sound!? The options for a
poor WRider who wants a teardrop "burgess" style muffler, (failing mounting a
campaign for real copper undercoating at Armours), seem to include various pigs
in pokes such as ;?
Emgos 1962-70 Triumph;? they are, I
think,?what Bella Corse & Specialty Spares uses
Japanese such as POSH W1? full; Daytona
Triumph; Daiwa etc.,
Norman Hyde Toga
Some English maker - starts with a "W" can't
remember
Stainless etc from Staintune,? Thunderbike,
Harris,etc.
?
Part of the problem is how do you know what
fits?? They all refer confusingly to old Triumphs etc., see for
example:

Exhausts & retro noise
An old Triumph expert suggested that I should just sharpen a piece of
narrow
rebar, and hammer it through the stock exhaust/baffles bit by
bit until the
sound deepened. Anyone tried this? My Canadian exhaust
is one of those
from which the stock baffles cannot be removed (as per
the California
exhaust diagram in Files). The baffles start well
inside the
exhaust.

These are the Dunstalls that were oem fitted by
Triumph VERY briefly in the early '70's. My T100R had these. Most people don't
realise they were ever factory fitted!

As far as the others go...Any 1and ?3/8ths
inch Burgess. The FishPipes were Burgess 'Blanks' which had W650 fittings welded
on before chroming. You'll need universal types but don't buy Toga, they are not
robust enough...I've seen a sectioned one...

Yes, I'm not too terribly keen on it.?
Especially if it gives a "knackered Honda twin" sound!? The options for a
poor WRider who wants a teardrop "burgess" style muffler, (failing mounting a
campaign for real copper undercoating at Armours), seem to include various
pigs in pokes such as ;?
Emgos 1962-70 Triumph;? they are, I
think,?what Bella Corse & Specialty Spares uses
Japanese such as POSH W1? full; Daytona
Triumph; Daiwa etc.,
Norman Hyde Toga
Some English maker - starts with a "W" can't
remember
Stainless etc from Staintune,? Thunderbike,
Harris,etc.
?
Part of the problem is how do you know what
fits?? They all refer confusingly to old Triumphs etc., see for
example:

Kazu, a Japanese W owner, used to have a vid on line of his W
with Daiwa mufflers, and it sounded great. I don't know if he still has it up on
his web pages.

Hi Ruari, I saw you posting about the posh exhaust system, from the info I have found on Japanese web sites the posh comes as an entire
system with a new single wall header pipe which will blue, the cost is
about 106,000 yen last I saw. If you want anything from Japan talk to
the people at Windbell motorcycles in North Van. Their # is
604-990-9876 e-mail is www.jpgreybike.com. I got my tt100's there and
they said they could import most parts from Japan. I live in surrey if
you are comming over give me a call at 604-501-1448. By the way my
name is Grant, good luck.

Hey Grant & all, I've done a little more investigation on those "POSH" W1 type "Full" exhausts at YouTube and find they seem to be available as slip-ons over the factory stock header pipes, which you simply cut- see here; ( and I will attempt to post a second link for the same page translated by Google, but it may not work):
The "PCM" or "CA" notes on these Japanese exhausts appear to refer to Stainless Steel. But the W1 type isn't SS, it seems.
