    O.K I've had my bike a week now (2010se) and already pulled off all the emissions gubbins except the lambda sensors. All nice easy, cheap jobs, even removing the air-box baffle only took 30 mins.
    I have fitted K&N air filter and TTP intake cover, bought the USB cable ready for TTP tune.
    I thought I'd sorted my exhaust system by ordering TEC 2-2 tracker, but upon arrival I was so disappointed with the looks (bad welds all over) that I sent them back.
    Now I know everybody is different and I'll prob'ly get lots of opinions (which is what I'm after), but what have YOU fitted? WHY did you fit it? Are you TOTALLY happy? What does it SOUND like and can I come and have a listen please? Anybody fitted Zard? 2-2 systems only, no 2-1's
    I am veering toward Norman Hyde peashooter at the moment so any info/insight into these would be especially welcome. Help me please I am only 2 steps away from Nirvanha.

    Thought I'd get at least one or two comments or some help. Everyone must have fit the Tec parts?

    I've not done any mods like removing sensors etc, however I have the arrow 2-2, triumph supplied. Very expensive but was a dealer special, so didn't cost me anything, I think it looks the business and sounds great but not tried to remove the baffles yet… not sure if I would spend that amount of money though

    The N Hyde peashooters would look good :)

    Fitted Motad stainless on my 2007 T100. Look the same as std ones but give a much deeper retro sound, baffles in or out.
    There is no rejetting required and the bike now pulls a lot better in mid range. Silencers are stamped so there are no MOT issues. :)

    I fitted a TEC 2-1 exhaust on my 06 T100 about 5yrs ago, never had a problem and the build quality is fine (maybe worse now) I ride it baffleless all the time and love the sound !!...

    Well done for getting them dealer fitted, afraid that won't work for me and they are too expensive for my pocket. Always looking on e.bay tho. Thanks for the reply, beginning to think I'd maybe asked the wrong question, the wrong way.

    Yes, that's what I'm leaning towards. Don't want insane loud or power boost, just deep, throaty and full blooded, look-out-I'm-coming- through-on-a-British bike roar.
    Thank you for the reply.

    Hadn't even thought of Motad, gonna go look them up right now, thanks. Have you done any of the air intake mods or are you running factory spec?

    I was so def decided on the TEC, that I didn't even consider anything else. So disappointed I didn't get to see/hear them on the bike. I suppose I could've ground the welds and repolished and I wouldn't have this dilema. Glad your happy with yours and thanks for the reply.

    I'm on motads and got the very first off the line

    They really do sound British with no adjustments to the efi. There is very noticeable midrange increase in power too. The above upper picture is my bike at Motad.
