09 Street Triple exhaust options...

**Azza Lay Dying** · 12th April 2011, 13:35

Hi Guys,

So I have finally kicked off my trainer wheels and I am now the proud owner of a stock 09 Street Triple.. I have already ordered my tail tidy and I'm now looking at exhaust options.. After only a couple of weeks on the hunt my brains are already running out my ears..

There are SOOO many options!! So I thought I would use my first Kiwi Biker post to ask for opinions.. What is the consensus of 3 into 1 over twin pipes?? What should I avoid?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.. I await your replies..

I'm quite partial to the Chain Reaction Moto exhausts:
dual high mount:

Low mount:

I have the high mount on the Speed Triple. I wanted to maintain the symmetry, heard that the longer pipes develop more power (probably not much but hey) and doesn't cover the wheel (single sided swingarm on the speedy). Check out my album:

I went for the Micron option, as they went bust a year or so back and their pipes are as good as Arrows, but far cheaper

Have a browse round this site:
http://www.street-triple.co.uk/

Every exhaust option has been discussed and lots of pics posted on there - just use the search function.

Whatever you go for just remember that postage to NZ is an expensive exercise and adds considerably to the total cost.

The twin ones are really sexy

I bought on-line. the guy who makes them is called Bob Floyd. He's a good man. He'll answer any questions you have. They ship from Nevada. Build quality is excellent. you don't get any discolouration and they are warm (not scalding hot) to the touch after a ride (no need for heat shields). This might be due to removal of the CAT converter the bike came with, more than the CRM mufflers. Anyhow..... they run cooler with no risk of burning.

Importing them is not cheap, even thought the NZD is quite strong against the USD at the moment. Remember, you'll get stung for GST and duty and bio-security fee, then GST on the fee etc... not to mention shipping.

+10

Cause I've dealt with him more times than I've had hot dinners..........eh Dave

If you haven't already guessed, I'm a big fan of the CRM high mounts. They look and sound fantastic!

I also agree with everything else Dave said, with one added extra. Any damaged exhaust part can be purchased separately, whether that be a complete muffler, skin, baffle, end-caps, badges, re-packing kit etc.

I promise i'll write a review this weekend. They sound like Thor got punched in the face by Dennis Hopper.

Do you have Neptune cans on your bike Gubb?? Always keen to support local manufacturers although the CRM cans do look pretty sweet.. Oh the decisions!!
