What Is a Louder Exhaust Than The Stock Bonnie (no british customs allowed in Cali)

[Calibonnie]

I want a louder exhaust than the stock 2012 Bonneville pipes. The British Customs pipes are not legal in California so I am looking for something else. Any thoughts? I really do need something louder on the Los Angeles freeways.

I called BC and the guy was so paranoid I couldn't even speak with him about California.
I could really use some help here.

Thanks in advance
Cali Dude

Heya dude
I am in nz and so my logical choice is Thunderbike pipes
They are a nice sound without being over the top.
I do know they are available internationally so it would be worth your while to google them and check your local prices and lgality issues.
BTW, I will shift this thread into the Modern Classics > Bonnie and T100 section where you will get a better response.

CalliBonnie, welcome to Triumph Talk. Have you considered modifying your stock pipes by drilling out the baffles? You can definitely improve the sound this way. I don't know much about drilling the baffles on a 2012; but if you are interested, I'll try to find out the general procedure. I have drilled out several Bonnies; but the pipes changed a little on the newer Bonnies.

Thanks for the tip. I will look into that

Thank you, how do I shift the thread? You mean delete this one and repost in other?

Basically, you will need a steel rod about as long as your pipes. Weld a 3/4 inch drill bit on the end. I had access to a machine shop and welded mine straight and true. The idea is to drill through the baffles. Check out this thread: https://www.triumphtalk.com/showthr...s-Applies-to-Bonneville-T100?highlight=Baffle

Hi have a look at Staintune exhausts as well they pass our Australian ADR for road and have a great sound. I have a YouTube video link on my garage. They have an awesome note!
