    I had these on my T100 and they not only looked good, they sounded really great and proper old-style Bonny.

    They come highly recommended by me - and no Billy, I don't have a sound clip, but I'm sure you'll love 'em and you can 'tune' the sound if you need to.

    How about the original "saucy pipes" you had Dave? You know, the ones you "adjusted" with an angle grinder! :D

    Hi everyone, thanks for all your answers.
    Right now I think I'm going towards these classic bike shop ones, though someone just sent me these via facebook and the sound seems louuud but mostly I love the style....

    Both of them are very cheap... I like that.

    Also: I don't like the 2-1. the iconic Bonneville has 2 pipes, and I like that.

    I reckon it's not just thé pipes that are 'saucy' :p.
    Thé reverse cone ones I fitted after thé 'grinder spéciales' sounded just right.

    I did try......but 7 secs of video was too big a file and the phone mike was a poor reflection of reality.

    Suffice to say the Feked pipes are pretty indistinguishable from these

    Hi, I took off high level exhaust and ftted Remus short cans to my Street Scrambler . Removable baffles included. JUST AWESOME. Love it. Sadly. More than £300 for cans. Check them out. Had Remus on a Beemer for 20 years. Great sound. Great cans. Look great on Scramblwr. Shorter than most other aftermarket / OE cans.

    Got Arrows on mine come at an arm, leg and a kidney but sound fantastic especially as I run them without baffles

    Interesting... I'll have a look at that.
    I have to say, between the super cheat and loud Emgo Shorties, the Westlake, the classic bike shop... Plenty of choice ! :D

    Might give a try to the emgo shorties. For £30, it's not a big loss if I can;t fit them or if they are stupidly loud. I suppose whichever pipes I end up choosing I'll need a remap ?

    We ARE talking the last of the air cooled efi bikes?

    What are you trying to achieve? A more ‘manly’ exhaust note or a performance boost......or both? If you want a little extra volume just fit the pipes. If you want extra mid range punch then look at the Triumph Twin Power tuning options https://www.triumphtwinpower.com/triumph-bonneville-t100-865-efi-tunes.php

    Thanks for your reply. As mentionned in the title, it's a 2015 T100 Black EFI, and yeah, it's mostly beiing tired of the sewing machine noise. I have no idea what these files in the link are. :yum 'maps' ?
    I'm not a performance guy. For me it's about 3 simple things. The pleasure of riding. The pleasure of having a nice looking ride and the pleasure of making it 'mine' (custom).

    ‘Maps’ are simply a set of digital instructions to the ECU about spark timing in relation to parameters like engine speed, throttle opening and exhaust sensor readings.
    If you have noisier exhausts they are more open. If you think of your engine as an air pump you will understand that you only get optimal outflow by matching (and increasing) inflow. So, by having less restrictive induction and subtle timing changes you improve performance. However, performance is not about speed so much as increased mid range torque. In practical terms it will pull one gear higher on gradients and accelerate faster without the same need to change down a gear. The bike becomes more tractable (docile mais puissante) and more fun to ride.

    My 2001 bonnie has Norman Hyde pipes which sound great. Yo do need to reject the carbs for best performance.
