The catalytic converters that come included with stock Triumphs are designed to restrict the flow of exhaust with additional packing, resulting in a quieter, dampened, “sewing machine” engine sound. Installing an X-Pipe motorcycle performance exhaust in its place lightens up your bike and frees up the flow of air, resulting in an instantly louder growl in your exhaust tone, increased engine performance, and weight savings.
Note: This part requires a tune for your bike. For more information about tuning, please see our tuning guide.
We’ve taken the guesswork out of installation by using the stock locating pin and left side frame bolt for a factory fit, and we eliminated the need for gaskets with a notched, slip fit design. This stainless steel motorcycle exhaust is handmade in our shop in Gardena, CA, where it is crafted from 304 stainless steel, mandrel bent, cut, and TIG welded on site.
FEATURES
Crafted from 304 Stainless Steel, mandrel bent, cut then TIG Welded all in Gardena, California
1.9 lbs (3.8lb savings over the stock catalytic converter)
Uses stock locating pin and left side frame bolt for a factory fit
Motorcycle performance exhaust that offers more growl and power while reducing heat and weight
Note: Tuning is recommended. See our Tuning Guide for more details.
For Thruxton RS: The X-Pipe for the Thruxton RS model will include a new left and right mid-pipe, since the factory mid-pipes are welded onto the catalytic converter for these models.
2021+ (EURO-5) models: Some 2021+ models may not work with the X-Pipe, since newer models have the intermediate/mid-pipes welded onto the catalytic converter. To verify this, check under your bike from the front of the frame to confirm if your intermediate/mid-pipe is welded on or fastened by a band clamp. Please see Competition Headers for this 21+ application.

Sound is great! Install took about 2 hours but I enjoy wrenching so found it fun (make sure you have t-55 bit. Had to take quick run to parts store). I'd say weight savings and power increase are noticeable. Only issue is that exhaust spits out a little black smoke which I believe means it might be running a little rich. I found this strange since I followed the recommended process of leaving the engine running until cooling fan turned on before riding, which I was told allows the ECU to learn of airflow changes and adjust itself. Would be great to hear from someone from BC about this! Even if remap is needed I'd still say it's the best product I've installed on my t-120.
Just installed the x pipe and the bike sound just deeper and growls ! Performance wise it feel more responsive and maybe a bit more torque but couldn’t test it long enough yesterday from de garage to home. Time will tell !
I can’t personally say that I’ve noticed much or at all in performance but I can say it makes the bike a little louder along with sounding better and that’s what I really wanted it for anyway. No issues with the product and it looks nice. On a side note British Customs always ship their products out very quickly. That’s a plus.
