Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE - Total Triumph Exhaust Upgrade, Installation and Sound

- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Fitting a Total Triumph exhaust to my Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE, sound comparison between standard and upgraded exhaust as well as a few mishaps along the way.
Similar in style to the exhaust used on Guy Martin's great escape scrambler, as well as the upcoming 007 film, No Time To Die.

Thanks for the effort and humour in posting this, I got a set recently on the back of it and Life of a Scrambler reviews. The new ones come with baffles to help with backpressure now the cat has been moved back to the mufflers so for those crying about noise this is lessened. And they are freakin awesome. I wrapped the baffles in fiberglass wrap to take the edge off a bit more as I commute and leave at 6.30am and love my neighbours, which a certain small pene Harley owner obviously doesn't as he opens his up all through town just before me. In their native state these are nowhere near as loud thankyou Londonstevelee below know what you're talking about before you talk about it. Anyway, the reason for commenting is, as well as to say thanks, that having read comments from others and a bit of trial and error myself it turns out they are quite easy to install. There's a captive nut in the middle of the pipes so pop that off first. Then smear a bit of liquid soap on the insert end and with a bit of wood against the captive nut bar just tap them in. Took about 30 seconds once the rest was set up.
Glad to see someone else struggling to get the slip-on fitted to the header pipe. Thought it was just me 🤣
You are not alone! 😂
I found that a bit of liquid soap as a lube slipons literally slip on, I got the Zard system whichn is brilliant !
Much better sound, looks good too!
I love that bike! Is that a 2020? How do you like it?
My other question is, does the exhaust make you super hot while riding and idling in town? Will it burn your leg? Sounds amazing! Super nice bike and I'm considering getting one.
I love this damn bike
So good Brother. Sounds great!
Did you leave the dbkillers inside the exhaust or did those go out as well ?
I did put them out but I feel like it shoots too much 😀
Great video! I had the same "persuasion" issues with mine but I do love the sound so its worth it. Have you put baffles in? I've got some in mine and found it helped a little bit with low down torque and also a bit less 'tinny' or hollow sounding exhaust note, and I may even try packing some fibreglass behind the baffle as I've heard it also helps deepen the note.
If you’re a fan of the Triumph Scrambler, read Forgotten Road by Randall Arthur. The whole last half of the book highlights the Scrambler with numerous on-road adventures. The book is a work of fiction, but supposedly the adventures in the book are all based on Arthur’s real-life experiences.
I bought this on Kindle this morning on the strength of your comment. Might pay to mention to people it is a Christian book too and speaks a lot about the characters' god. Not a biggy but a bit to wade through for those with beliefs different.
Looks awesome mate. Just ordered the same pipe. Question mate...are baffles available for these pipes? I'm in Canada now. Heaps of loud pipes here. Can't wait to install them on my Scrambler 1200 XE
I've not seen baffles offered, but I'm sure there are some that would fit
Ok so next time do rehearsals LOL the struggle is real my friend , been there many times
Beautiful bike !!!
Sounds awesome!
How is it with a pillion? Debating between these and SP.
Sounds great! I have a similar exhaust made by SP Engineering that enables me to keep that heat shield.
I've seen that one, it looks great too! Are you pleased with it?
@@enginerelish very much so, really opens her up and looks great!
Am tossing up between the Total Triumph and SP slip ons, could I ask you both if fuel economy has changed and if so by how much? I intend to do some distance on it and wondering whether to take extra fuel. Thanks in advance.
@@d.Cog420 Can't say I've noticed much change in fuel consumption

Hi
Jean-Pierre from France
Applause for your great video.
I would like the same one for my scrambler TRIUMPH 1200 XC.
Where did you bought it ?
Thanks
JP
Thanks JP, this was from Total Triumph in the UK
would a passenger burn there leg with that exaust?
issa beast!
Those slash pipes definitely make the bike sound meaner, how is it after riding a bit with them?
It still sounds great, the noise is pretty addictive, has some nice pops and bangs on the overrun too
Sounds great. 👍🇬🇧
No passenger now I assume those pipes will be right at their leg yes?
I've tested this and they do exit behind a passengers leg, only just though!
nice job fella !
Have the pipes become significantly hotter with the lack of rear heat shield?
Haven't noticed?
so you literally run without mufflers now? Is this Street legal in the EU?
Hi, I didn't understand why the bike didn't start the first time and what you did under the saddle
I left the ignition and headlight on the whole time and the battery ran down 🙈
@@enginerelish ahhh okkk ! 😄 Thank you!
Do you find you burn yourself on the exhaust the way it is?
No, not at all
You're a Hooligan!!
Is this road legal in the uk
Will this not burn the pillions right leg?
No, leg is forward of the exhaust with feet on pegs.
I can confirm this
Have you been able to have passengers on the back since you installed it? Looks like there legs would be far enough away from the pipes that it would be fine, but hard to tell without seeing it irl
Hi! Yeah there's enough room to still get a passenger on the back, gf has been on it many times and hasn't complained about the exhaust, I do need to lower the rear pegs a bit though as she finds the standard height a bit cramped.
Certainly looks better than the bulky original silencers. Does anyone do twin high pipes, one down each side?
Not that I've seen, would be cool though!
What kind of exhaust is that???
Can you give the link for background music
Is it okay to not do the changed muffler mapping?
All seems to be running well, the catalytic converter is still in place, so it's not completely free flowing, I couldn't say for sure what it's done to the fuel/air mixture though
@@enginerelish Oh that's right~ You saw the video well :)
Does it bring down the temp in the cat? It’s gets so hot and thinking more free flow would help cool down the cat just a little? Thanks
@@301ws it does a bit but get a Shapeways leg saver if you have a Scrambler
RIP passenger's right leg.
nah my wife goes on the back and no problem
Preferisco il sound di quello originale. Triumph non delude
Refreshingly incompetent. Like I'd be...
That's offensively and stupidly loud - practically unsilenced - at least with the huge number of noise cameras being rolled out at the moment you will have to change it pretty damn quick. I'm no kill joy - never had a standard exhaust in 40 years of motorcycling, but come on man - that's socially irresponsible - giving us two wheelers a bad name.
No, not at all, it must just come across that way on the video. The cat is still in and does a good job of keeping the noise down, a straight pipe would definitely be too much!
@@enginerelish Do these exhausts have baffles? My brother fitted a similar exhaust to his street scrambler - with the cat it was far too loud - without cat - it was deafening.
Hardly offensive but loud enough for other road users to know your there which isn't a bad thing!
@@lawdayl Don't forget these are slashcuts at practically car window height. When filtering, passengers and car drivers on the opposite lane with open windows are going to get a blast. Again I ask, do these exhausts have baffles?
@@LondonSteveLee I recently rode on a parcel run with 120 other bikes. Mine was nowhere near as loud as some of the cruisers. With the catalytic converter still in they're not obnoxious at all, just a nice rumble. With a decat I'm sure they would benefit from baffles though.
