Improving the sound, character, and performance of your Triumph Bonneville starts with one essential component: the exhaust system. Whether you ride a Bonneville T100, T120, Street Twin, or Speed Twin 900, the right exhaust setup completely transforms your motorcycle. In this complete guide, discover how to choose the best exhaust to elevate your Triumph Modern Classics.
Why Upgrade Your Triumph Bonneville Exhaust?
The stock Triumph Bonneville exhaust is designed to meet noise and emissions regulations while offering versatile engine behavior. But it often restricts the breathing of the parallel-twin engine. A high-performance exhaust system offers:
- More torque and quicker throttle response
- Deeper, richer sound that highlights the twin-cylinder character
- Significant weight reduction
- A premium aesthetic that elevates your Triumph’s style
An upgraded exhaust reveals the true personality of your Triumph Bonneville.
The Different Types of Exhaust Systems
1. Slip-On Exhausts
The simplest way to improve sound and style. Slip-ons replace only the muffler, keeping the headers and catalytic converter in place.
2. Full Exhaust Systems
Full systems replace the headers, mid-pipes, and mufflers. They provide major airflow improvements, more power, and significant weight savings.
3. De-CAT Systems
Removing the catalytic converter frees the exhaust flow and produces a much more aggressive tone. Recommended for custom builds or track use.
4. Custom Exhaust Systems
Perfect for a fully personalized build, offering unique craftsmanship and a tailor-made sound signature.
