    TBR chrome muffler & torque loops complete! Wow!

    I first isnstslled just the TBR mufflers. Challenging time aligning everything but figured it out. The F6B sounded much better.
    The Sound was nice but terrible drone between 2-3,000 rpm. Definitely not enjoyable. Could not live with this.

    Following weekend dropped the pipes and installed the torque loops. I had to grind the inside of one side of the muffler swivel tube with a dremmmel tool & I had to buy more antiseize to lube the tubes.

    After several more hours, everything came together and aligned perfectly although at times I did have my doubts.

    I took it for a test drive last night & I'll tell you if you want the bike a little louder, just do it & go for the loops right from the start.
    The loops make the bike FLY!!!!!!!!
    Throttle response is extremely more responsive & crisp with the loops. Much more torque. The bike moves much much faster through the gears. The TBR mufflers make the best sound in my opinion.

    I went with the chrome although originally I felt I really wanted to keep the blacked out look but since my bike is black & red and I couldn't find any pics where the bike looked good with black pipes so I went with chrome. Obviously it is a personal choice. The chrome and the red breaks it up nicely and makes the bike pop! Everyone agrees.

    The loops make the sound crisper, much more aggressive, throatier, crisper & gives a nice high performance sound that the mufflers alone did not give. The sound with these pipes together with the loops is obviously louder than stock but not offensive.

    Also,
    I can assure you that loud pipes can save lives.

    Story;
    Several years back when I had my VTX with Vance & Hines pipes I was riding to the cottage together with my wife & kids in the car while I ride the bike alongside.

    We were on multi lane 400 highway northbound. I was coming up from behind on our families car in the lane beside them and unknown to me my wife was about to make a lane change but she stopped herself last second from changing lanes because she heard the pipes.

    I noticed NOTHING! Upon arrival at the cottage my wife said thank god you installed those pipes or I would have hit you. My wife is a great driver with zero tickets and accidents. Food for thought..

    The Loops sound good with Rush mufflers and 2.5" baffles too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lX5vyNt8ak
    Not my bike but have the Rush mufflers with 2.5 baffles. Will be adding Torque Loops sometime this year.

    I was leaving work this morning and two guys standing around their full dress Harleys almost broke their necks trying to figure out what just roared by them. Good times!

    Gas fumes

    Ok, haven't had it out fit a ride yet other than around the block several times but I've noticed my shirt smell like smelly burnt gas fumes.

    Is this the Ecu needing to adjust or do I need to live with this?

    Yes, most likely. Tomorrow... start your bike and let it idle without touching the throttle; until the radiator fans come on. This will cause the ECM go back into adaptive mode and adjust for the aftermarket exhaust and tubes that you installed.

    Thank you.

    Did you also experience smelly gas fumes?
