TP Dominator touring mufflers

[drlapo]

well I just wasted $600. I had been running EPCO SS silencers on my 05 Thruxton. They look good , fit well and are well made but they area a bit load for my tastes. I was going to get the Triumph TORS as I had used them before and they sound good. But they are chromed steel and my last set rusted.
So I got a pair of stainless steel Triumph Performance Dominator Touring silencers... but they don't silence. They may be a bit quieter than the EPCOs, maybe, but they are far from mellow. much too "raspy"; "touring" is a misnomer lesson learned

That is to bad. Call them, ask them to take them back...

the silencers are well made. they fit well and even the sidestand stop is kinda neat. I had hoped they would sound closer to TORS silencers but they are a couple of steps louder. TP did provide a chart showing their relative "loudness" and it is more than the
TORS . I was hoping for a bit less. The pipes are on the bike so I wouldn't expect them to take them back. they may be a bit quieter than the EPCO I took off and are now for sale. They are much larger than the EPCOs
I'll ride it again today; maybe I can live with them

A friend of mine is a master welder so I figured we would weld a large washer into the silencers; it doesn't help

I've ridden a few miles with the new silencers. my son stopped by today and he says they are definitely quitter than the EPCOs. maybe I was too quick to judge. they still have more of a roar than I like when I get on the throttle but I guess I can live with them

I didn't like the sound of the Touring Dominators either, on my 2008 Bonneville.

I guess sounds is like beauty...eye of the beholder. I had the Predators before and I found them too loud and growly. I got a the Dominator Tourings and it's the bees knees for me

I've used D/T's on 2 different T100's and really like the way they sound. MUCHO quieter than the D+D's I used to run.
