very nice mate surprising how much a exhaust can make a bike look nicer ,sounds awesome 👍

[@mancavemoto]

Yep, it’s made a big change

[@rickducharme7429]

It sounds naughty indeed. Coating the exhaust made it so much better looking. Yes, do paint the finned collars black. Your bike is looking very nice, Tony. Good job, mate! Cheers!

Nice bike man. Didn't know you can mod the street twin into a scrambler 👍

[@DEeMONsworld]

I had a 1972 tr6 c with high pipes ad I never owned another with high pipes, but those do look awesome. having them coated black is the secret, and the line matches your tank design perfectly. Nice looking bike, really changed the whole character. I think I would opt for powder coating the brackets and heat shields as it is a more durable finish and does not get that hot to matter. they even have in some shops hi heat powder coating. The Cerakot stuff is well applied by certified shops, but essentially the same stuff you can buy in a rattle can. It is the prep that makes the difference. Without a shop most guys can't get a quality long lasting finish. In my experience it lasts about a year or so, but starts to degrade at the header outlet because of the drastic heat changes there. Really like the look, very nice.

[@mancavemoto]

Cool. The guys offer a two year guarantee on the Cerakote, but you are right as with all paint and coatings, prep is themost important part

[@DEeMONsworld]

Views from the Man Cave darn you Tony, now you got me looking at high pipes, even though I don't like the heat, those look cool. and then, I found a set at nearly half price with a few slight scratches that would hide quite nicely under ceramic paint or powder coat. I can only hope someone buys them before I get a whim.

[@mancavemoto]

Do it!

[@mancavemoto]

The heat shields work well, and obviously the ceramic coating helps too. Don't listen to the naysayers who have never actually ridden a bike with this pipe on it.

[@louieallen6758]

Ceramic coatings drastically reduce heat that's why people by ceramic coated headers for performance cars to reduce engine bay heat...

That’s just the stock street scrambler header. Not sure if you can buy just that bit, but I know Freespirits parts make a decat header for the street scrambler that will fit

Hi Thank you for sharing you knowlegde - could you show how to get the baffle out? I can't find any videos, which show how. Best regards Peter

[@mancavemoto]

No problem, If you have the EU stamped exhaust then the baffles aren’t removable, well not without extensive permanent surgery.

[@paulchambers2296]

Hi Tony, great video. I have the same exhaust, not sure if Euro or USA spec but looks same as yours. Ref. the baffle removal, do you need to take back section off and pull back through or does the baffle pull out of the back end please? There is a screw on the underside of the carbon end so I assume this is something to do with the baffle. Can’t see any circlip/spring clips though! Regards. Paul.

[@mancavemoto]

Hi Paul, mine was a US spec. If you have the hole in the end cap and can see a bolt in it then it sounds like you have the same. There is no circlip on this exhaust, just undo the bolt underneath, grab the baffle with some pliers and give it a tug.....

[@paulchambers2296]

Views from the Man Cave will give it a try, thanks Tony.👍

[@gergokovacs1344]

Heyy! Nice in black. Can I ask how did you take the buffle out?

[@mancavemoto]

They are the US spec exhausts so had the removeable baffle. The EU stamped ones have a non removeable baffle

[@gergokovacs1344]

@@mancavemoto Thanx!

[@MotivatedMind-87]

Hi Tony, great looking exhaust. I have just bought this exhaust for my street scrambler but I don’t think I had the correct bolt for the shock to mount the end pipe with the spacer in between. Would you know off hand what size bolt I would need? Cheers

[@mancavemoto]

Not sure, I think it could be an M10 but I cont remember the length

[@MotivatedMind-87]

@@mancavemoto Thank you for your reply Tony I appreciate it. I figured out it is an M8 x 45mm bolt. Cheers

Thank you for your reply Tony. This is definitely a long shot but would you still have the baffle for this exhaust system? I’m trying to locate one, but it’s proving impossible. Cheers

Looks superb. 😀

Cheers, wheels next week 'fingers crossed'

[@alexred09]

How is the heat from these pipes? And now that it’s been 2 years how is the powder coating holding up?

[@mancavemoto]

I never had any issue with the heat . I no longer own the bike but I spoke just this last week to the guy who bought the exhaust from me, and he says the pipes seem to be holding up well. A little discolouration but nothing more from the phot he sent me.

[@Verdekiwi]

Thanks for the video! Only time will tell: how is the color now?

[@mancavemoto]

Still looking as good as the day it was coated

[@alangoffin3599]

How much is one of these systems now days and approx cost of all those parts ceramic coati great video 👍

I was lucky and bought the exhaut when it they were on sale at £150! the coating costs about the same again, or just under

[@corvair140]

The dogs doo dars. You got the scrambler re-map?

[@mancavemoto]

Yep, I had that map installed when I fitted the xpipe

[@XxSaint1975]

I have the same pipe on my scrambler, how did you remove the baffle?

[@mancavemoto]

from memory theres either a circlip tacked into the end with a tiny weld, or a allen headed bolt on the inside, I can;t quite remember

[@andrewhull365]

Would it have worked out cheaper to buy the black inspiration kit? Albeit no high level pipe.

[@mancavemoto]

Andrew Hull and there’s the drawback, no high pipe, and these changes have been done over a period of time. Lots of the blacking Out has been painted by myself

[@bossardsimon3796]

Is this exhaust comfortable for pillion rider, was planning to get one. Concerned regarding the heat as it seems the pillion might get in contact with the exhaust.

[@mancavemoto]

It’s not ideal no.

[@wildhogget69]

Nice video, where did you get the black carb covers from Tony?

[@mancavemoto]

They are an OEM Triumph accessory....or you could just paint the stock ones.

[@mikestewart7322]

Hi Tony, going to do the same with my scrambler. Got the V&H system installed already, so just a couple of questions. Do you know where to get a spring pull tool? Did you use any threadtight on anything? Can you buy the exhaust gasket rings from the dealer or internet? Cheers mate👍🏻🏍

[@mancavemoto]

I had one come in the kit, you're welcome to borrow it (but a dealer will probably have them lying around if they have fitted the exhausts) I used threadlock on the shield bolts and a dab on the header bolts too. Yes both....

[@mikestewart7322]

Views from the Man Cave Tony, you’re a star and thanks so much for you kind offer, think I’ll go to Suffolk Triumph and get the tool. The whole job doesn’t look too complicated. Maldon is about an hour away and I just need to buy a correct size Torque wrench , any idea if the size I need for the scrambler, I’ve got a biggun ( if you’ll pardon the expression) for adjusting the chain but no idea what to buy, to cover the rest. What did you use on the O2 sensor . Sorry for the quiz👍🏍

[@rubysadventures5954]

Nice video will this exhaust fit the t120 1200 bonneville?

[@mancavemoto]

Thanks, I’ve seen one fitted on a thruxton r so I don’t see why not

[@gennaromoraca4547]

Hi Tony, hope you are having a great weekend. Do you have any advice to map properly the exhaust? I know that Triumph dealer should have those maps ready to download in their computers. But which is the right name for this one? My dealer selected a map called “Vance & Hines slip on”, and I’m pretty sure is not the right one... thanks! G

[@mancavemoto]

I’ll check with mine, but I’m pretty sure it was called ‘Vance & Hines offroad’ or something very similar

[@lodgecav490]

Nice bike! I would imagine that horn will quickly bake behind those cylinders with no real airflow, would be interesting to see how long it goes on for. It is the same horn as my T120, I keep meaning to source something that both looks and sounds decent as that stock one looks to be straight out of the budget bin. Good Video, thanks.

[@mancavemoto]

Thanks Lodge Cav, theres a decent enough of airflow infront of the cylinders for that not to be a worry. Its been in that position for over 2 years with no ill effects at all.

[@Verdekiwi]

Quick one: I have the same exhaust and I was thinking to fit around an heat wrap to give a black look, instead of going all the way to paint it. Do you think it would be possible to do it, or the shape of the exhaust prevents it? Can I disassemble just the heat plate and run it below it? Thanks!

[@mancavemoto]

It would be a little tricky to wrap given its design and fitting, but not impossible. Although if you buy the correct wrap, it might not end up being much cheaper, if at all. Just depends on what look you prefer

[@Verdekiwi]

Views from the Man Cave thanks for that! I’d like to have a “blacker look”. Let’s say I’d like to wrap it till I find a good moment to proper paint the exhaust. Any suggestions on which wrap should I buy?

[@michealgillman7418]

Hi Tony Great vids and very useful. Im in the process of removing my 2-1 Vance and Hines to have it ceramic coated. Ive heard that Zircotec do a coating that is applied hot and was wondering if you have heard of this process and if its as good as the one you have? Also I noticed that when I removed the mufler that there is a section of perforated tube that is welded to the end section that inserts into the mufler. I think you may know where this is going......I dare say that this serves a purpose, possibly as a sound baffle and maybe to do with the fueling and creating back pressure. Needless to say Im thinking of taking the grinder to it, but thought it was worth asking your advice before proceeding. Hope you dont mind me picking your brains and thanks once again for posting your excellent videos, they have been most useful in the blacking out of all the silver bits on my street twin. Regards Mick

[@mancavemoto]

Hi Mick and thanks. From what I can see Zircotec is just another brand name, and although I couldn't comment on the difference to Cerakote, I can say that I've been really pleased with it and it does keep the pipes noticeably cooler. In terms of the 'perforated tube' personally, I would leave it alone. Cutting it off isn't going to gain you any power, in fact, it might make it run not so well?! it might make it louder, but that exhaust with the removable baffle out sounds so good anyway, and any louder than it is would be obnoxious!

[@zudeck]

If you are fitting one of these on a street twin, it comes with the panels to hide your catalytic converter, you don’t have to remove it if you don’t want to. This exhaust has no cat, and an xpipe would only be required for a low mount exhaust
