Strangely I’m actually the new owner of this bike and all credit to you Matt it must have been the cleanest second hand bike I’ve ever own so well done. I went to test ride this bike at a bike shop in Sittingbourne Kent and I sat on the bike turned the key blipped the throttle and it was sold! So pleased with the bike and the sound, like a Lancaster bomber, perhaps a little loud but ridden sensibility it sounds acceptable. I notice a slight pop back on deceleration but this has to be done deliberately by riding I a slightly higher gear than is necessary ie 2nd rather than 3rd. I’ve had probably 80 plus bikes over the years and so far this is my favourite. It looks sounds and handles well but isn’t too intimidating while still being able to deliver ample power immediately you open the throttle, possibly due to max torque around 3 k. Very nice thanks Matt! Good job
Hi, Just wanted to say thank you for the very good video, great to hear so many before and after in various ways. Greetings from a fellow Bonneville owner
Thank you very much for making this video. I've been searching for a good quality video that demonstrates the Remus exhaust with an X-pipe for the T120. After watching this video I'm sold on those pipes. Rubber side down Moto Brother 👍
Sounds nice! I’m not usually a fan of changing the exhaust, but that’s partly because so many I hear are simply louder and obnoxious, without sounding in any way better to my ears. The Remus - at least in the videos I’ve watched - seems to have that deeper but still mellow tone I like. I’m pretty happy with my T120 as it is, but should I decide to make the change, I’m most likely to go with Remus.
Have a 17 Bonneville Black, De-catted with Zards/baffle removed. Looks like the stock pipes but sounds great. Downside is I hate having to remove exhausts to adjust chain/tire changes. Think I'm switching to these and sell the Zards. Thanks for the video!
Totally sold on remus because of this video! Thanks so much for sharing in detail. Quick question, are the db killers wielded in? is it difficult to remove the db killers? thanks!
£700 in the UK 3 years ago plus an extra £100 for decat pipe and then I think I paid another £150 for a garage to fit it all for me so all told about £1,000 and well worth it as I still have them on now over 3 years later and they are like brand new and sound even better
good video, the remus (super expensive) pipes sound better than stock but still muffled and restricting, remove the airbox and take the packing out to let that engine perform better!
Otto Warm Beer. I know what you mean. It does feel a bit disconnected sometimes. It will sound awesome with the decat. Mines getting a nice growl developing as im putting mileage on, as well as being very loud.
voltov1: Did you install the x-pipe? If you have you may want to replace the copper ring gaskets. They're inexpensive, at the most 9$ usd. However if your wanting to save the few bucks just reposition the headers onto the gasket so it sits/rests properly. You won't need a tune unless absolutely want it but don't forget to check the connections on the x-pipe for exhaust gas leaking. I hope this was helpful. Good day.
Thank you, Mr. Rose. My bike still has a cat but only replace original with v&h us spec. Popping is happen only on decel I am not sure is it normal. My bike also has TOR tune before replace the exhaust, so I am not sure is it normal. Thank you again for your information I will check on the gasket when my bike is going to dealer for service.
Had a question I just did decat with British customs x pipe and Remus as well and now I notice a a slight ticking engine sound at idle is this normal? Haven’t yet ridden yet due to multi day storm here but just wondering if I need to loosen everything and re tighten everything but I don’t think it’s vibration/rattling but I could be wrong.
Trouble with 270’ cranks you start putting better breathing systems on them and they just make a noise not a nice sound. If it was a 360’. Set up like triumph used to make up until 2016/17 releasing that audible energy results in a very pleasant sound instead of an unpleasant noise like this does.😢😢😢😢

Glad you like it, it does sound nice with those pipes especially up hill under load.

Your welcome

Cheers, did you get the exhaust?
Sounds nice!

WDGFE and decat too
I have the stock pipes with a dcat it sounds amazing , don’t need new pipes 😬

Guys - up in the description he says "baffles removed from Remus".
Totally sold on remus because of this video! Thanks so much for sharing in detail. Quick question, are the db killers wielded in? is it difficult to remove the db killers? thanks!
excellent video, nice sound capture and best, no commentary!!!!
Biker1 bonus eh
Thought about buying these until I saw the price $949 ? Must have titanium baffles and gold plated clamps

How did you get to remove the baffles? I think someone needs to do this in the YT hehe.
Like most aftermarket pipes just sounds harsh and overly loud to me when compared to the stock Triumph pipes' mellow rumble.
good video, the remus (super expensive) pipes sound better than stock but still muffled and restricting, remove the airbox and take the packing out to let that engine perform better!
Thank you very much really helpful
Thank you for the exciting video. What kind of tool do you use to remove the inner baffle?
Hi you need circlip pliers
Much better dude...like MUCH BETTER!! looks the schizz too now!!
Bizz i agree. It rides better too. Much smoother and noticeably better power delivery.
Hi, thank you for this video, very usefull. Did you remove the DBKiller too in the video?
Both
its a de-cat so yes, the cat is removed
Just fitted Remus slip on's I've got a Westlake X pipe arriving 2moz !
The throttle lag has almost gone !
Otto Warm Beer. I know what you mean. It does feel a bit disconnected sometimes. It will sound awesome with the decat. Mines getting a nice growl developing as im putting mileage on, as well as being very loud.
Barnsley Bitter Did u take out the baffles ?
Yes immediately. They are a bit tough to get at the circlip holes as mine was hidden behind a lip, but once out easy to remove the baffles.
Barnsley Bitter
I'm getting the local triumph dealer to fit my cross box, gonna get them to plug in their CPU and max/tweek running !
Yeah, de-cat fitted, baffles drilled, Sounds meaty and the new mid range power band is much more responsive and sweet !
Did you remove the sound insert as well! It sounds amazing!!
Kurt Stock
Yes. But I’ve put them back in now. A few ppl have said it sounds a lot better without the baffles so i think ill take them back out soon.
Question on the de-cat. Does it smell of exhaust fumes now?
Not that I've noticed
Does the 2018 stock T120 need a remap if I slip on the Remus pipes?
Nope. It has a self learning ECU. Happy new world :D
I still ride it after 2 years and is fine, I never got it remapped
Does the popping noise is normal when replace exhaust muffler?
voltov1: Did you install the x-pipe? If you have you may want to replace the copper ring gaskets. They're inexpensive, at the most 9$ usd. However if your wanting to save the few bucks just reposition the headers onto the gasket so it sits/rests properly.

My bike also has TOR tune before replace the exhaust, so I am not sure is it normal. Thank you again for your information I will check on the gasket when my bike is going to dealer for service.
Did you have to Dyno tune the bike or did the ECU adjust after one heat cycle?
The latter.

i think they all tick if you listen hard enough but its more than likely the x pipe blowing. Manifold leak is a ticking sound.
Bro! link ?
