Triumph Thunderbird Storm - Exhaust Pipe Modifications.

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- This video documents the steps I took personally to obtain the sound I liked from the exhaust system.
Obviously the video does not do justice to the variety of exhaust notes, and I didn't want to annoy my neighbours by revving the engine excessively.
Of note, I had already purchased and installed the aftermarket Triumph Off Road (TOR) pipes, and had the Triumph dealership download and install the ECU mapping that the TOR pipes require.
I know I scoured countless pages exploring what others have done, and hope this helps someone out.
2011 Triumph Thunderbird Storm
** I do not own the song playing in the background, it is simply to make the video a little bit more interesting... **

I love the sound of this bike
I believe if you’d hold the mike further away from the bike we could really get the full exhaust notes! Thx!
Sounds great brother.
Big Red thanks!
Very nice sound
very good job !! brutal sound..
Yeah I like your end results it's just perfect for me
Have you made the adjustments yourself?
hey, thanks for the vid. i have hog slayers and thinking of decatting. the conduit pipes...what diameter are they? What do you mean when you say cut them in half? you trimmed a bit from each end? Also, for mounting purposes, you used existing brackets? thx!
Sorry mate. I'm happy for you that you love it.
Hey man, I just pulled the ends off my pipes completely, shes a loud girl now, but eventually I'm gonna have to put some new pipes back on it. Can you recommend any slip on kits thatll work? I'm having a time trying to find some online that would fit and work
Dylan Reed 👋 I have no idea what slipons are available other than OEM. , I owned the Triumph aftermarket slipons.
I'm in the same boat as you I just bought a 2010 and only thing I don't like is the sound or should I say lack off I already have cat deletes not stock pipes just not cutting it.did you find anything out
Great video so you gutted the cat I couldn't read it quick enough to understand watt you had done with the pipes are they stock are they and did you remap the bike to it sounds really good
Why don't u just install straight pipes go up on the cam done
thanks
I don't see the TORs pipes in any part of this vid. My TORS pipes end at the rear axle, much shorter than the stock pipes. The sound of the TORS with the cat left alone is great,
Maxx hi Max. Triumph make both a short AND long TOR pipe. I opted for the long TORs as I had saddlebags.
Maxx you’re welcome to leave your CAT as is. Some riders wanted a bit more oomph, hence why I shared this video 😊
@@divadrolyat I had to check with my dealer on this one before I posted back, there is NO long TORS pipe. The shorty or TORS ( short for torque pipe ) is indeed the short version.
Anyway it doesn't really matter, there great bikes. I only changed to the shorty because I didn't like the looks of the very long stock pipe. Although the extra power was nice too, also changed to the performance Triumph air filter had a performance tune done with the remap by my dealer. Have also changed to many custom parts including some from the Night Storm.
Maxx - Triumph made both a long AND a short TOR (which actually stands for “Triumph Off Road” as they do not meet the government standards for approved decibel range). I purchased my set of long TOR pipes from my Triumph dealer here in Canada. Still have the receipt and part number if you truly care.
Below is a link to fellow Storm riders discussing the pros and cons of buying the long vs short TOR pipes.
Perhaps your dealership is not that switched on.
I did the pipe swap, and can assure you the stock and long TOR are exactly the same length, but are clearly designed differently inside.
Like I said, I could probably get part number if you’re dedicated to this cause...

Are those slip one still available
As you said you have tors on yours can they even be found anywhere?
You can pic the'm up ebay 150 for the pair they will be 2nd hand but the ones I've had have bee' like brand new people just change them fur aftermarket ones so they usually have little use
I've since COMPLETELY gutted the CAT and am happier with the sound.
Hi, do I need to remap if I gut and debaffle the cat, with stock pipes, cheers
divadrolyat just bought a triumph storm. Any way I can email you I have a few questions?
I have the remus decat with the short tors.
$$$$$$$$$$$$
I like triumphs but dealers are too scarce for my taste...
Why didn't you go 2 onto 1?
I like rineharts on my road king.
U gotta remap it
With hd take out the cat and the warranty is up.
Isn't your belt drive on the wrong side? All the Thunderbirds I've seen has the belt drive on the right side what gives? I really like my Thunderbird it's a nice riding bike but there is nothing in this world that will ever make it sound good.
40mmrrsmith Hmmmm, not sure what angle you’re looking at, the belt is definitely on the right side.
As for the sound, if I️ could do it all over, I’d leave the CAT as is but I’d remove the baffle from the TOR pipes. I’m pretty sure you’d get the sound you’re looking for.
The key thing to have is a crossover between the pipes. The straight bends (CAT removed) doesn’t sound the best IMO. Installing a crossover like the “Meercat” helps balance out the pipe sounds...
divadrolyat maybe it's in the editing but when you back the bike out the belt is definitely on the left in the video. I just recently saw a video of a rocket 3 with exhaust on the wrong side so it must be giving reversed in editing or something. You bike sounds great compared to oem. I love my rocket 3 and really like my Thunderbird. My opinion is you can improve the sound of a Triumph but it will never sound good. I removed the front crossover from the headers(not by choice) and everything else is stock. It sounds a lot better on throttle, idle is unchanged. There is no decel popping to speak of, just a little poof poof under hard engine braking. I may try gutting the cat if I can find someone that can cut and weld it properly. I'm after a deeper rumble but not more noise.
I see what your saying as the belt appears to be on the right on the first part of the vid then latter seems to be on the left, weird. Oh, and this vid shows the stock Triumph pipes not the much shorter TORS pipes.
@@tms372 As David has already stated those are TORS pipes. There is 2 different versions SHORT TORS and LONG TORS ( i own a set of both ) ... And yes TOR stands for "Triumph Off Road" not Torque Pipe. Whatever "dealer" you talked to have no idea what they are talking about...you should probably go somewhere else !
Mabe what sounds good for you is a vtwin . For me it sounds lushious.
