>2016 Arrow 3-2 Exhaust Alignment

I have two sets and both the right joints are loose, I think the technical term is a cock in a sock.

 

Sounds like a production problem with the fit between pipe and can. Fitted them myself to my (earlier) '94R, very close fit and solid feel with no wobble. Just had to slacken bolts and tweak to get dead symmetrical later when I fitted Givi pannier frames (removed 99% of time).
Might be worth insisting dealer reports the fault to Triumph? Something's obviously gone wrong with Arrow's tooling for latest model.

 

If you're not happy (and you obviously are not) I would suggest you reject them, get a full refund and stock pipes refitted. It's the only way Triumph might actually do something about it.
(There are other exhausts)

 

that's poor and unexpected for the price of these cans i would have expected much more,my akrapovic on my zrx1100 and the gpr on speedy have small tackwelded brackets that the springs hold end cans and link pipe together fit like a glove for much less than the arrows,I wouldn't accept the (they are all like that) reply feedback to dealer and maybe something positive will get done.

 

I've just fitted the arrows to my 2016, and it took a bit of fettling. At first they were very loose, I found by slackening off the clamp (main exhaust to link pipe) also the support bolt (by left side rear foot peg) and the silencer bolts (better off removing them actually)
Then move link pipe away from main exhaust and tighten, then refit, push silencer firmly into link pipe.
Your my have just worked loose.

 

Hi I had these cans fitted from new and mine are solid no movement fron any area of the cans or pipe, in fact I have just swapped them for a low level set up and they were very song to get off, I'd go back to shop if I were you

Cheer Robert

 

I noticed mine wobbled a bit when cold if you grabbed the end can and give them a shake left to right , ive since secretly wobbled a few in show rooms and they all seem to have movement , they're well secured and don't rattle but
I couldn't live with the movement and after stripping panels off to check everything ok - rubber grommets ok and in place I tried a couple of bodges , not happy with results so in the end bought these

Just open them fully so no need to split silencer and
position clamp bolt behind silencer and
tighten till happy ,
careful when sliding clamp over your shiny pipe though (halfy halfy nice n tighty )

 

Hi,
I have mine (right hand side) with a slight wobble as well.
Not to worry, but I agree that it is somewhat questionable for a premium product.
cheers,

sounds like a good idea, will try next week end

cheers

 

Please add your experience to the warranty sticky top of Speed Triple forum when concluded (hopefully successfully)

 

I did it today, then I took a ride to warm up the compound, this is now solid.
Thanks for the tip.

Cheers,

After fitting my Arrows (no baffel), I didn't notice any difference in the running of the bike (except for sound)
Did anyone have yours remapped, if so did you notice any difference?

 

Not a huge difference, possibly slightly smoother on throttle pick-up from closed. Mostly peace of mind knowing it's on the correct map intended for the setup. (but that's on a 94R, would be different if you have the latest model)

Edit:
Have always run the Arrows with baffles removed, so probably more important to run the correct map.

There's a specific map for the twin arrows, the dealer will have it and should install FOC. Ask when you go for service. Mine came with twin arrows so I can't tell you if there was a difference before and after, except that I modified my baffles by cutting the closed end off and drilled several more holes near the exit to let more gas escape. It does feel slightly more crisp and sounds lovely, kind of halfway to what it sounds like with the baffles out, lots of popping etc. on a closed throttle when blipping on downshifts.

 

Not much difference if you use the generic Triumph map I believe, but a fair old difference if you get it custom mapped.
