2025 Triumph Scrambler XE slash cuts

[@Garde74]

Top 👍 Thank you.

Thank you.

[@backtrackbiker9140]

Thanks mate, do these pipes come with removable silencers or are they just straight through.

[@TheWhiskeyChronicles-zu9vc]

@@backtrackbiker9140 Came with baffles. This video is with baffles installed.

I understand the catyalitic converter is located in the end piece (muffler section) of the exhaust, as opposed to older models where it was at the other end, nearer the headers. If you carry out the modification in this video on a 2024 bike, are you removing the cat as well?

[@TheWhiskeyChronicles-zu9vc]

Yes. This would be a de-cat with these pipes.

[@thepub245]

@TheWhiskeyChronicles-zu9vc Ok thanks, the bikes run better, fuel consumption deceases and the heat generated in the exhaust, is also vastly reduced by removing the cat converter and they say the cat converter is good for the environment? Makes you wonder.

[@snake81plissken]

Did you have to tune the bike after installing the aftermarket pipes? I just reserved a 1200 xe icon edition and wanted the british customs shotgun exhaust. Dont want the bike running too lean

[@TheWhiskeyChronicles-zu9vc]

I want to say anything 2024 and beyond you can’t tune with a power commander etc. I’ve read that it’s a closed loop ecu. After I installed I just idled the bike for about 15 minutes. This supposedly allowed the ecu to adjust idle fuel/air mix to adjust the fuel change. I have not noticed excessive heat from being lean. The only time I’ve had the fan kick on the bike was during that 15 minute idle.

I have the 24 1200x. I just put the Total Triumph Slash Cut pipes on mine. Where did you get the heat shield for the back of the pipes? Thanks mate. Great video and I love the sound of my pipes as well. Pretty loud but I’ve ordered a set of baffles that might make it a bit quieter?

[@TheWhiskeyChronicles-zu9vc]

I just use the baffles it came with. For long trips I use “ride” ear plugs to take the edge off. The heat shields I got were from britishcustoms.com/products/shotgund-slip-on-exhaust-heat-shield-for-triumph-scrambler-models?srsltid=AfmBOorf5bzEnIh7fgHgoH2Wo0seLmo1i3lxF6v9v3-Qd7ilKTf3SLaB. Thanks for watching.

[@manuelarauco5711]

Is there a risk to the engine if we have the slash cuts and no cat? O read somewhere that Triumph doesn’t recommend it

[@TheWhiskeyChronicles-zu9vc]

I looked and looked and can’t find backing by Triumph saying not to do it. Allegedly, the 15 minutes of idling adjusts the air/fuel mixture with the decat.

[@raymondmoore6049]

I’m 6’1” and I love the look of this bike and I’d definitely be using off-road some so my question would be is there any issues with that exhaust heating up your leg when you are riding? I do like the sound of those slash cuts too!

[@TheWhiskeyChronicles-zu9vc]

I have yet to really feel any damaging heat on my leg. Those factory heat shields do pretty well with stock or slash cuts. But the exhaust is cooler per se with the slash cuts. Being a short guy I always have to have my legs right on it when I’m tip toeing out of somewhere.

[@mmedia5727]

How’s the heat?

[@TheWhiskeyChronicles-zu9vc]

Seems to be less on my leg than with stock. Passenger seems less as well, wouldn’t want to rest a hand on it but it’s not gunna torch you just grazing it.
