Featured T120 X Pipe, De-cat

yes. after checking out videos of install, i got 17mm stubby wrench which made getting to a frame bolt possible. 2 1/2 hrs and the deed was done. same day i did a friends and took less than 2hrs. Thruxton R is even tighter quarters.

 

absolutely. she breathes better, runs cooler(much), and responds to throttle input better. some popping upon deceleration but i like it. i didnt opt for different filter as the stock paper one filters better than say K&N. Also oiling after market ones sometimes gums up throttle bodies. i did remove the intake snorkle. no ill affect and i can hear the roar.

 

I have been thinking about the Xpipe, but am very conscious about loosing the warranty, how do you guys deal with that? Did you guys wait for the Warranty to expire?

Also on a final note I have a good friend of mine that always says.. Don't say noise!! noise is what kids do... Say Sound!! I totally agree... its Sound or even better music

 

I have Gasser Custom pipes which sound and look great, then I installed the TEC x pipe. I thought it sounded great until I went on a day long ride! It was HD loud! I’ve since removed and sold it and am a lot happier with just the pipes.

 

Yes I had one fitted by Triumph who said they would not affect warranty if fitted in a Triumph dealer workshop and for the price it saves the dirt the swearing and mostly the skinned knuckles and paint work.

Is this how to de-cat the exhust?

 

Yes Phil-osophy.

That's pretty close just the cat has no spanners.

I assume he's trying to pick a fight with de-cat in de-exhust pipe.and chase it out!

Now we all know how the dealers do it and I got a similar cat. She never even offered to do the job for me. What a traitor she is after all the food I gave her.

Greetings!
Not that I know much about such things..but my T120 was purchased with x pipe/fitting on it (and Vance and Hines pipes).I love the growl when I want it,and the bike purrs along normally when going for a leisurely ride and not needing to frighten the neighbours!
It has comments off more experienced riders..they agree it sounds mint and the performance is fab..my understanding is it also lightens the bike..but what do I know!!

 

Thinking of getting Norman Hyde x-pipe and silencers for my T120 to get a better sound and smoother ride. Does anyone have any experience with these?

 

On looking at a few reviews have ordered an x-pipe from TEC.

Still thinking of where I'll get the replacement silencers from, so any advice would be appreciated.

 

The NH X pipe is well made and an accurate fit, unlike some other popular cheaper offerings. I've had experience of both and have had to stop my installation of a cheaper one on my Thruxton while I wait for the NH pipe to arrive. I fitted one of these to my Bonneville and it was a good fit.
Here's what I was delivered and have since returned for a refund:
