D & D pipes - good choice?

[«TigerTamer»]

I want to replace the pipes on my bike and so far D&D are the only pipes I can find that fit my bike.

I would appreciate anyones feedback about D&D

[Cleveland]

dammit Scott! you are supposed to be buying a NEW bike, not fixing the old one! Sheesh! :no:



:lol:

[«TigerTamer»]

I decided to "tweak" the old one AND buy a new one. You can never have too many bikes, right?

[T-byrd]

I have D&D's on my monster, and yes they are too loud. There are times that I don't like them, like in the canyons. In the city I do appreciate them though, it's louder than my horn and the soccer moms can hear me before they see me.

So, until I buy a 'true' sport bike, I decided to adapt the Trophy to my riding style. So this week I'm gettin new sprockets put on (1 down in the front, 2 up in the back) and a jet kit, then I'll do the exhaust - as soon as I decide on which one.

D&D pipes provide everyone that rides with you an incentive to learn how to ride faster than you. :lol:

They are obnoxiously loud.

[Bertha]

D&D pipes suck ass... they are just loud! I'm guessing you LOOSE power with them!

After riding behind you last weekend, those pipes are way loud, but it's funny to hear someone else's pipes instead of my own for once :lol: :lol:

Your usually in front of me anyway, Nate :lol:

I would do the exhaust first, and the air filter if you have plans for one, before jetting, because the pipe and filter will lean out the mixture. Don't want to take it too far.

I was wondering about that - thanks. I already have K&N filters (air & oil). The guys down at Foothills BMW said that after I get the sprockets and exhaust, they would put the bike on the dyno and see if it even needs jetting.

Staintune used to make a range of exhaust systems for the trumpets. You may want to look into them. I would probably steer clear of the D&D units because of noise.

Best to you

Thanks for the lead - thats the first company I've looked at that makes a slip-on 'specifically' for my year & model. And they even have a Boulder distributer - imagine that.

but it's soo funny when you pull up next to a guy with a loud ass system and ya give it a lil rev and the windows go up :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

:321: :321: :321: and ya gotta love the cell phone drivers :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :321: :321: :321: friggin cell phones the screw ya whenever they get the chance :roll:

[«TigerTamer»]

scott72673 - Thanks for the lead on Staintune

Everyone else - thanks for all the input.

I ditched the D & D idea and ordered a set of Staintune. Now I just have to wait 4 weeks for them to be shipped from Australia. Supposedly Staintune is one of the best aftermarket pipes for Triumph - guess we'll find out.

[rybo]

Hey,

Glad to hear the idea is going to work out for you. The Staintune stuff is really nice and well built. I think you're going to like it. Too bad about the wait, but I'm sure it will be worth it.

Have a good one

:lol: :twisted:
I love doing that. sooooo much fun.
my D & D's are loud. I measured them the other day. 84 Decibels at Idle. :twisted: and with just a rap on the throttle it went to 100 decibels. Imagine what it is in the power band. :twisted: :D

[NineTwoFour]

Hey Tom, would it be possible for me to borrow that dB meter from you???

[AshliRider44]

D & D are annoying :roll: I heard one on a telefonica a while back... BLEH!!

[Pachuco]

Sorry Matt. some guy came into work with it. Unfortuneatly (sp) it wasn't mine.

[NineTwoFour]

I need to find one... I want to see just HOW loud my new exhaust is. Jim wanted to kick me out of the garage at PPIR. :lol:

[King Nothing]

Matt, I have one.......

[NineTwoFour]

Could I possibly borrow it sometime in the near future??? :idea:

[T-byrd]

Matt, I have one.......

Could I get in line to get measured? :D
I'd be happy to ride over to your place to measure the noise of my bike...unless your neighbors would kick you out. :lol: If that would be the case you could just come over here and do it. 8)
