Despite sub-zero temps in the garage still, I decide I really needed to get some work done. My Streetie came with the most obnoxious exhaust ever, this simpley awful Coffman tip. Just a total loud boys POS. Not as simple as removing the tip and putting the Triumph pip back in place, because to mount this tip the exhaust header (with a cat) had to be cust at an angle. The OWM take a 90 degree turn upwards for the OEM underseat mufflers. So to replace the tip I would have to buy the header pipe, the midpipe and both mufflers. Midpipe and muffler come and go on Ebay, but the header is truly scarce.
Luck shone on me recently and I was able to buy a complete system, as the owner had fitted a full Arrow system to his bike. Better yet, the OEM system had never been run and is completely mint!
Anyway after wrestling the 6 header nuts off (required the radiator to be unbolted so it could swing a little out of the way, plus use of a flex head), then unbolting the mid section and then removing the o2 sensor I finally got the old system off. Totally frozen at this point, so this is my win for the day. Will need to pick anther day to put the replacement pipes on.
Here's what was removed:
