Don’t have any experience with either of those, so perhaps someone else can weigh in.

Thanks for the feedback Richard.

These can be purchased direct from the original manufacturer, Cone Engineering. Both models are available, along with a Shorty as well. Also available are mufflers for the new liquid-cooled Modern Classics.

Hi Jeff, just wondering if you ever changed the pipes to the USA Touring and if you noticed a difference? I have the exact same situation. Like the BC Predators but find that they are just too loud!

Thanks!
John

Thanks Jeff. Keep us posted and would love to see some pics that I can put up on the site.

I forget to mention I purchased them directly from Rich at Cone Engineering. Rich is a very nice guy to talk and deal with.

I have a set of black BC Predator on my 2011 Bonnie. I din’t removed the O2 sensor, because they are here to help the ECU adjust the fuel mixture. So it was for me a nonsense to remove them.

The Predator popped like devil, so I removed the SAI. All the SAI does is to re-inject some fresh air into the header to burn unburned fuel. Removing the SAI prevent the exhaust to pop and you don’t really need it.

I also installed a K&N air filter, since when you open on the end, (exhaust) you should also open in front (air). I talked to the local Triumph representative about the mapping. They recommend installing the Triumph OEM After Market Exhaust map. So I did it by myself using TuneECU and saved some bucks.

My bonnie is a dream to ride. But it is way too loud ! After some hours on the saddle, it starts to intoxicate you (and your neighbors when you come back home late…). The sound is great, but too loud. So I decided to go for the TP USA Touring. I will have a custom build without the tabs. Hope to get the in a couple (or more) weeks. Will keep you posted.

Thanks Craig, that helps.
