Alex,
I am partial to Bell exhausts. I have Bell systems on all my Triumphs, the 58
3, 63 4 and now on my 72 TR6. The 6 system is SS complete from the manifold to
the full dual mufflers. It is a sport system similar to what the big 3 sell
(Falcon) but SS throughout. Fit was perfect as with all Bell systems. Sound
has character but not loud.
The Bell folks advertise that their systems are designed to sound and perform
like the original systems offered by Triumph.
Problem with the Bell system is it is pricey. Mine cost me about 625$ +
shipping! But if you have the $ they are sure worth the cost.
Bob
