Finally very happy with this exhaust! Took 5 hours of hard labor to install, hard to fit all the pipes together on a 2022. But now it growls like a lion in heat! No more burned leg! Better bark and growl for a 1200 scrambler. Not too loud. Bitch to install, but worth it!!
Ordered mine yesterday as soon as it was available on the U.S. site. Thanks for making it. 1. It's an actual exhaust, not just shotgun pipes for an absurd price, and 2. it's literally the most inexpensive choice stateside for this bike. I can't wait to have it installed.
Fitted mine and so happy with the results - sounds fantastic!
I have just fitted this exhaust to my 2020 Scrambler 1200XE and removed the air box vent. Fantastic performance and sound, well done TEC bike parts.
An excellent exhaust system. Lighter weight too. No deacceleration backfires as well. The bike is well tuned.
Brilliant job! Sounds mighty.
Vast improvement, awesome work guys! 👏🏻
With the weight savings and the sound, that looks like something I might need to get onto my bike. Looks awesome.
Excellant product. Delivered to New Zealand very quickly. Great sound. No excessive heat now to front of exhaust, much better. Highly recomend.
Superb engineering, as per usual, & full of logical reasoning. One tiny personal preference would be as some comments below. Would like the end just finishing past the last heat shield rather than hidden. Great product, great sound! Just need to buy a Scrambler now to buy one of these 😁
I put a full system on my bike a while back, got it from Total Triumph, uses some bits from the K & N Street Street Scrambler kit plus some bits that Total Triumph fabricated to make it work on the bigger engine. Your add-on looks just as good, and is simpler and less expensive. Good work.
Looks and sounds great 👍
insane sound brother i love it
Just ordered mine... 😁
Pickup my Scrambler 1200xc next week.... Exhaust will be straight on😁
Bought it because it Sounds fantastic 👍, looks cool... Like the fact you can now see both rear shocks and the price is excellent 👍
Love it.. will order in future..
Super badass exhaust!!! My top pipe is a little too short? Sounds deeper without much more volume with the baffle removed. It really looks better in person, the pipe is the right length and looks good as you walk around the bike. Love the way it opens up the rear section to see both shocks! Can't say there is a significant performance difference as I dropped a tooth on the front sprocket at the same time and it stays on one wheel now!!!
Hi all, I have a 2019 Scrambler 1200, and I bought the Flank exhaust about 2 months ago - easy to install and a huge weight savings. I have also removed the cat from the stock exhaust, removed the airbox snorkel, and installed the Boosterplug. This bike is fun! It is so lively and torquey that it is a blast to ride quickly. I have also installed the Tec bar ends and they look much better than the stock mirrors and work well too. Just got the tail tidy and will install it tomorrow. I love this bike! My last bike was a 2013 Triumph Tiger 800 which I rode for over 90,000km and was also a very good bike. Traded it in on this and ain't looking back.
Excellent work. Happy to keep my cat. Would like the muffler to be a little longer.
I'll be looking forward to this in the USA
will be available on USA webshop very soon
sounds great
High, with springs and the sound. I like it. Kindly Fiete
Who else thinks that the guys at TEC should just go out and make a whole bike!
Well, Im impressed. Ive been waiting paitently for a nice "working" 2-1 system for ages, I had the guy martin pipes and some I made my self but they were just too loud for everyday use and you loose the heatshield! These look and sound great! Personally Id have like it to be a bit longer like an inch or so so it protudes more from the heat sheild. But think ill be ordering one! Thanks George!!
Was about to send you this
Ooh, a King Zed in the background. And noone notices it. Nice exhaust work, by the way.
Sounds great but maybe a bit too short for me personally on my XC. I like the shot gun look but like you said too loud unless you can come up with some clever bit of silencing. Great work though!
🔥🔥🔥🔥brilliant
Just fitted mine yesterday, but one of the exhaust extensions (the bottom) one is 10mm too long.. which means I can only fit the heat shield over the cat.. will have to take the hand saw to it later.
Other than that, wow, the sound is AMAZING!! Holy hell, I am going to have to get the additional baffle now, even with the cat still installed lol!!
Must admit, I agree with most here, nice sound but too short from side. I've gone with the SP Engineering shotgun pipes which also make use of the factory heat shields. They're a little on the noisy side but at least car drivers know I'm coming :)
Boss > another great reason to own 1
Yes!
Sounds great and I appreciate the effort to keep the costs down - well done! My only criticism would be that the end heat shield now looks to big - I was wondering if anyone has attempted to make it smaller - from a height point of view? I think this would also address the comments re the "can" needing to be longer ????
Ordered and received mine - can't wait to fit it this week-end!
Installed mine today. They sound amazing. Great job!
They would have been perfect if they were 50 - 100mm longer though.
Perfect 👍👍👍😉
Nice job! A test of how much heat reduction is achievd would be very helpful. I am looking at decat. But that is measured to reduce The heat with only 6 degrees celcius. If this takes it down 10 degrees or more. Ill be very inclined to order one.
I love these scramblers just wish they made a smaller one like a 650.
Just take a spark plug out of the 1200, lol
Nice. And every possible question answered, including the nagging cat question. I fookin’ hate cats.
I watch all your instructional vids despite not even owning a Triumph or an Enfield. But I am designing a 650 BMW based 1998 CCM Dakar style multi sport/semi adventure bike.
I may try customising one of your Triumph cans for the back end. It’s very neat, but most of all businesses-like.
I’m much more concerned with performance, practicality, and weight saving, so your design ethos is a perfect mesh.
Current/Future mods:
Free-Spirits De-Cat (current)
DNA HI-FLOW Filter (current)
NEWLY FITTED (!!!) Tec Flank 2-1 exhaust
Performance Camshaft (purchased-not installed)
DNK Tunworks tune----(future).
Just installed mine last night!!! Like everyone has said....the system could be just a TAD longer---but still looks fantastic. Sound with BAFFLE IN, and De-Cat installed was not loud at all at idle. When you give it the berries, tho....sounds great. Felt a bit choked at approx 95mph, so I may try to run it w/out the baffle next time and see what happens.
I did the Triumph Tune (let it idle for 15-20min until fan kicks on) before i rode to work this morning.
*There were some minor fitment issues with the TOP mid-pipe as it connects to the Free-spirits de-cat, however. Since the de-cat header is little shorter than stock, there isn't a complete connection--you find this out once you attach the spring and it pulls it away from the header. I used some stainless steel tubing and clamped it down around the mid-pipe where it connects to the header to ensure a seal as best as possible---now everything feels snug-ish.*
May need to purchase some proper piping, however...to ensure fitment is tight.
Hey great video it sounds great but like other on here would like it to be a bit longer so you can see can out from behind the heat shield.. I'm thinking of getting one of these bikes in the new year and will be coming to you to get my accessories for the bike as you do great stuff for it..... How much does this cost by the way...cheers
Fitted this today.
I've faffed about and never been happy with pipe options on this bike, all either way too loud or don't fit right. Including zard, arrow, short shots.... Etc
This can sounds spot on with a proper silencer and baffle, I've got my torque back again and I don't have to wear earplugs anymore.
I hope TEC keep improving it, be lovely to have a better looking main pipe cover and lose the ugly number board. I will say looks better with my black one though.
All in all superb value for money very chuffed!
Thanks for the feedback , it all helps to make better parts.
Hi John, do you notice a decrease in temperature?
@@sergiotariccomackay269 yes, but it is winter. I don't personally recommend the decat, way too loud and loss of pressure. This things also too loud with the baffle out so mines staying in.
Hi I love the look and sound of this pipe but I've got a Street Scrambler 900, is there any chance that you will be making one that would fit the 900?? Thanks and keep up the good work 👍🏼
Sounds awesome from I can hear in my headphones. Isn't the tip of the silencer is too close to the shock? Wouldn't it heat up the shock too much?
Hi there very good job. Would it compromise the 2 years warranty if it is changed within the 2 first years?
TEC Bike Parts, have you looked at making a 2 into 1 that would pass behind the rear shock and continue back out to a short mega type silencer nicely out of the way of the passenger? Looks tight but there could be room if the current bracket was removed. That would be the best of all worlds, especially if it was a full de-cat system with just one neat heat shield.
You need the back shock to compress, putting there a big pipe would squish it between the tire and the downside of the seat at every larger pothole
Would the TEC Bonneville 2 into 2 exhausts fit this?
I'm also of the opinion that the exhaust would look better if it was a bit longer and protruded past the rear plate. I'm looking at getting an end cap insert of have one custom made. What is the diameter of the end pipe?
Top.
I might have to reconsider swapping in 2-2 from Twin...
It seems like it would make the sitting stance a bit wider for the passenger. I’m interested in getting this but I ride a lot with my wife. Can a pillion get their leg over it just fine? Particularly a short one? (She’s 1,53m) Thanks a lot!
Wish it was a little longer (3 inches or so) so that you could see the end can from the side.
Yes we agonised over this , But I love the fact you now have a clear view under the fender and of the right side shock. Just looks a lot more scrambler !
george milburn I can guess how it presented problems. Did you consider an indent on the rear to get around the shock? Not an easy or cheap solution.
What diameter is the silencer? It looks very compact.
Does exhaust wraps help to reduce heat?
Really like it but it’s too short. For looks it needs to protrude more from behind the heat shield. Looks a bit “wrong” somehow.
Agreed. Great design and video as always but i would like to see a bit more muffler.
I for one quite like the hidden exhaust. Like where the hell is this loud noise coming from 🤣🤣
Any News on how many degrees of heat reduction is achieved?
In my opinion the original exhaust sounds great and looks better …..
Have you modified the slip on for 2021 model? 2021 mod has the catal.in the back end. What would you recommend for 2021 scrambler xc ?
Installed today. Top connecting pipe (one that connects to the Cat) is a little too short for a great fit. Did you lengthen the top pipe in a more recent production run?
I ended cutting a little bit off the bottom pipe
One of little bit weird exhaust for scrambler 1200 but the sound not too bad.
Agree needs a better end heat shield
Have you modified this for the newer model with the CAT in the endcans????
Does it protrude further than the stock exaust? Is it the same comfort when standing up on the bike?
I have noticed the same issue.. I love to stand and ride and it seems notably more in the way of my leg getting to the peg. I loosened everything and tried as hard as I could to get it in tighter to the frame, and it helped a little.. But there is still a very notable gap between the bike and the pipe.. Not sure what to do about it other than maybe go to a shop and see if I can get the midpipe bent a little more..?
I'm ordering
Was it running with the end baffle in at the end of the video?
Yes that was with end baffle ,but not with the optional centre baffle/spark arrestor
Any chance you’ll make a similar option for the Street Scrambler? I have that V&H full system you just showed here, but I hate the looks of it, just too modern, too sporty for the Desert Sled I’m building. Something similar to the “Desert” exhaust you have for the Air-cooled Scrambler. I would buy it in a heartbeat! 🤩
Just the question I was going to ask
It’s very weird that after almost 3 years, we still don’t have options for the Street Scrambler 😕 (and I’m not talking about the Zard ones, they look awful and sound like crap). One would think a bike that popular, especially being a scrambler, would have lots of exhausts to choose from. The 1200 is an awesome bike and I’m glad it gets love, but not many of us can afford one. The SS is just perfect for the size and power it puts out, that’s why I’m building a classic looking desert sled out of mine. I just need a damn exhaust 😭
We have a few things in development, but a lot of projects have been delayed this year.
The fact that Triumph dumped a load of the V and H systems on the market at £300 stopped us from making them in 2018/19. A lot of customers that paid £1000 for them on street twins in 2016 (me included) were far from impressed by Triumphs actions and proved these V+H systems were not fit for purpose.
@@georgemilburn6213 I’m satisfied with this answer alone 😬 just knowing there is a chance for us getting a nice TEC exhaust is enough for me to wait patiently. Thank you ☺️
Does this still work for 2022+ where the cat has been moved to the muffler?
What do you have going on with that Kawasaki Z1?
Would this work on the 2023 model? How's the decibel level?
Oouuh mama!!
How does the width of this pipe compare to stock? Asking as I’ve got the Metal Mule pannier rack on mine…
same width as stock
@@TECBikeParts Sweeeet, so I dare say this is on, nice. Thank you 🙂
I ordered this exaust 16 days ago from the US site. Is the US site legit? I still havent received my exaust and havent gotten an email response back... starting to het nervous.
Sounds great but looks too short imo..
Mine leaks from all the slip joints. A lot. Even the riveted pieces of the main muffler. Not very happy about it.
Is the example at the end de-catted?
sound is same just louder with cat out.
@@georgemilburn6213 Thanks George! I’ll be ordering mine very soon!!!
Interesting to hear the pros/cons re: full decat systems; glad this unit keeps it in play. However, in fire devastated California, really anywhere in North America aside from private land or a closed-course, isn’t a spark arrestor the responsible way to go? Actually, wouldn’t making a spark arrestor a compulsory feature be the responsible way to go?
That is why we added the centre tube (mentioned in the video ) to allow easy spark arrestor or extra baffle fitting if wanted.
@@georgemilburn6213. That’s even better that a spark arrestor is an easy and inexpensive installation. Just wondering, does a spark arrestor inhibit performance enough to warrant it being an option rather than a standard feature? By the way, I do like the product - it looks well thought out and, from what I can hear through a tablet-speaker, it sounds great!
The tiny Swedish Elf puppet is small, but I doubt she can get through a 38mm exhaust pipe 🧐😎😜
That was the weigh of the original? 6.6kg or lb?
Still loud that, as loud as short shots.
Does it have a db killer in
This video is with the Hi flow straight through baffle fitted, this is quite a bit quieter than the short shots even with washers fitted. But we also do an extra mid mount DB killer that can be used with or without the hi flow baffle to get the sound at exactly the level you want. Volume level is always hard to get across in a video.
@@georgemilburn6213 yes thats true. I got short shots and without db killers in that i fitted sounds like a numatic drill .
@@georgemilburn6213 do you have any db measurements with the hi flow baffle installed and with the mid mount db killer? Also, I can't seem to find the mid mount DB killer on the site. Are you still producing it? I'm trying to find an aftermarket solution with better sound but still meet USFS OHV requirements (96db max & spark arrestor)
Has anyone tried removing the baffles on the Flank 2-1?
Update: I installed my Exhausts with baffles on and my goodness, the sound is absolutely bonkers. Mine's 2022 1200 XE so the cat was housed in the exhausts. So essentially, my bike is decatted with these Flanks and I couldn't be happier. Just hearing my bike roar makes me smile from ear to ear. 😂
How you finding the power? I think George said it lost a bit of power without the cat (on Euro 4 at least) - I bet it does sound brilliant either way 👍🏻😁
I love this bike, but with only a 29" leg I can't even touch the floor!
We are making a lowering kit soon
Hi, could you explain your theory to this woman. She won't listen to me. RUclips videos: 1) Be the Boss of the Bike - Episode One "kick-stands and up-righting the bike" 2) Be the Boss of the Bike - Episode Two "Step-up and roll" 3) Pint-Sized Rider Jocelin Snow Taming a Big-Bore GS Is Proof Size Doesn't Matter
How much lower would it be George?
I wish it came with a 2-in-1 heat shield. Looks silly with the normal one.
The pipes aren't bent right for a 2022 and they are too tight on the lower connection so it is TERRIBLY hard to get them to fit on properly. I've been at it for 2 hours, and I still cant get them to seat right against the Header pipes. This is kinda a pain in the BUTT. I've had to bash the midpipe sections forward with a hammer, but then when I pry them away from the bike to fit the silencer, they back off. The Midpiple 2 into 1 section has the pipes too close together, they need about 1/2 seperation, but they're nearly touching so you realy have to bend and bash with a hammer to try and get them fitted together. I've been pushing, rocking, and hammering for 2 hours and can't get them totally seated together. I don't know how it's so easy in this video. UPDATE: I finally got it installed. 5 hours and tons of sweat. But it sounds great, looks better, doesn’t burn my leg anymore, and flows easier! Absolutely LOVE it and we’ll worth it only AFTER all the 5 hours of hard installation :)
With this you are not taking any passengers either! The hot smoke goes right onto their leg
lets face it if you want to loose the heat ..the cat must go .. that simple
I would have one if it was 10cm longer
14:57 In this video it is said that the Vance & Hines 2 into 1 system for the Street Twin shouldn't be used on 1200 models because the pipes are 38mm instead of 40mm and it doesn't provide enough flow. Now I don't have access to a dyno so I can't speak to how the system affects top end but, I should point out that on the T120 the stock pipes that come out of the catalytic converter are significantly smaller than the 40mm pipes that go into it. So with that bottleneck plus the cat itself, the stock system is much more restrictive than the V&H and no one should worry about it not having enough flow for the 1200.
All this to say if anyone is wondering, The V&H 2-1 system works just fine on my T120 in addition to being a 13kg weight reduction. You must trim the Street Twin side panel a bit to accommodate the dual throttle bodies on the 1200 and remove the silver cover behind the fake carb but those are the only two mods you need to make. Although not absolutely essential I'd definitely recommend adding the TEC booster plug to correct the fueling.
Why is everyone making exhausts, but there's no "nice" heat shield alternative. I want something nicer than this ugly plate. Something like the scrambler 900 has would be nice.
This exhaust sound great but Look like shiet!
You have to consider the price as well. It's less than 1/3rd the price of other competitors but sounds equally awesome. It's functionality over form for sure.
totally ruins the look of the bike
:-))) what "exhaust system" ???!!! even the flames are showing :-))) let alone the noise !
Those are not flames... regular exhaust emission - mostly water vapour.
Sorry, Hard Pass
Sounds awful looks hideous.
In what way would YOU want to improve it ?
@@georgemilburn6213 Hey George. If i could interject, if the muffler stuck out past the rear guard 2-3" i think it would be bang on, or possibly a dual muffler setup. Thanks for your hard work. Love it & Keep it up!
