The stock pipes on my Thruxton 2013 sounded exactly like your pipes, more like a sewing machine. I changed them for TORS and the bike now sounds like a proper British twin.
Yes, if you do a search for Triumph Thruxton 900 with TORS, you will find several videos. This is one of them: th-cam.com/video/5oOY2b4HtKc/w-d-xo.html
+SoundgardenMan British Customs basic performance package for $899. Labor was about $300. I don't know if BC still carries the package but it contained the Air Injection Removal Kit, the 18t Countershaft Sprocket, Airbox Removal, Predator Exhaust, and the K&N Oil Filter.
Great comparison, except for the whole change in environment for the road test. Having the Predator in a parking garage vs the outdoors test for the stock is like corking a bat.
Hey, yo, poit444. Er...Did you upgrade the handlebars at all? I can't tell if those are clip ons or some kind of M bar on the risers or... ...Could you fill me in on if and what you might have done for bars?
Stock clip ons on this '04. Those are pretty aggressive and look this business but they went away from the clip ons in '09 to n 'M' style bar until the new 2016 1200's which have risers and clip ons. I've been comparing my '08 with my '14 and the '08 looks better sitting there but the '14 definitely wins riding as far as comfort. I put Lossa Engineering clubman cafe bars on my Street Twin and I've seen them on Thruxtons,,really a great choice if you change.

Nice, sound great. I had the Epcos and several BC Predators but only TORs on my Speedmaster and T-Bird. These look like stock but sound much better.
They are identical to the stock mufflers, very nicely finished in chrome, and with a larger outlet, and no baffles.
Loud pipes saves lives. It's better people are a bit anoyed than they don't notice you coming and also don't anticipate.
Great video! This is the way to do it, great comparison!
Very neat looking machine
It sounds a million times better.
Must have exhaust upgrade man. how much is the kit/labor out the door?

Are those aftermarket wide wheels?
those are stock
The 201X Thruxton sounds different, with injection. Nice exhaust, sad it would be illegal in France.
Yes brit custom sounds like proper triumph. .
They sound great but those are not the shorty exhausts, they're the regular Predators. the shorty ones are...er....shorter.
Stock exhaust was horrible! BC sounds like a beautiful thing.
dafuq man.... stock silencers suck.... i died at 0:17
Wow, stock exhaust sounds awful !
It's not actually that bad, it just sounds weird on camera.
No comparison. Sewing machine to motorcycle.
not a real sound for a Brittisch bike
