(New!) Topic : How Long Does it Take to Swap Short TORS?  Author  Post     Rachael7  Chaac Reg. Date  :  17/05/2013 Posts  :  511 Location  :  Greenfield, MA, United States Posted : 15 Jul 2013 - 11:56   Post title : How Long Does it Take to Swap Short TORS?   I just got a ridiculously good price on a pair of short TORS, so I couldn't resist. I have come to enjoy the way they look on the bike, but not sure I'll prefer the sound to my punched stockers. So how long am I in for to put them on (I'm pretty fair with a wrench)? And more importantly, how long to swap them back if I miss the sound of my current pipes?   2012 Thunderbird 1600, Short TORS, Triumph performance filter, TORs tune, Longhaul solo seat, Highway Hawk tubular solo rack, Dart flyscreen, engine bars, highway pegs, Clearwater Darla driving lights, custom flash-to-pass switch, Hagon 2810 rears, Thunderbike fork caps, Custom rear sets  Author  Post     bnz433  Jupiter Reg.

(Re: Rachael7)   5-10 min per side. Heat shield bolts - allen key, 2 per side Exhaust clamp - either 12 or 14mm socket or wrench. 1 per side Exhaust mount - I think it was a 14mm. 1 per side. The heat shield for the stock long don't "like" the shorties. I got mine to mount up, but when I took off the left pipe to do new rear pads, I noticed that the heat shield gouged the muffler chrome a bit. But it covers it back up when re-fitted. Worst case is you need new heat shields for the shorties. Jamie   Bennington Triumph Bash - 31May-2June 2019. Home of the (tied in '14 & '15) US RECORD T-BIRD FLOCKING!!!!!

(Re: Rachael7)   It should not take anymore than 30 min. I put a set of hog slayers on my storm in less than an hr and I had to remove the cat as well.  Author  Post     Rachael7  Chaac Reg.

(Re: Rachael7)   I have had my exhaust off four times now and I would say I could do it in 30 min or less. First time in I would leave one hour. 5 MM allen wrench on the heat shield, 12 MM on the exhaust clamps two per side, 12 MM on the bolt that holds the exhaust to the frame, 12 MM wrench to stop the nut from turning as this is a bolt with a lock nut on the back side. Be careful not to damage the exhaust gaskets they are on the inside of the muffler pipe that attaches to the header pipe.   2010 Tbird 1600 SE No cat K&N Air Filter, Hog Slayers Exhaust, 20306 Map, Mustang Seat, Driving Lights, Front Dresser Bars, Highway Pegs, Heat Controller, GPS, & more  Author  Post     Rachael7  Chaac Reg.

The are suppose to be 12 nm.....I think....best look it up. But, when I checked mine they were all set at 5 nm from the factory. Use a cross bolt tightening pattern of course. The service manual mentions that the dealer is supposed to reset an unlisted group of torques after the first 500 miles. Do they? Hell no.  Author  Post     Rachael7  Chaac Reg.

I've been really happy with the sound of my punched stockers, but I realized that the shorties will go better visually with the look I'm heading towards. Have to see where the balance lands between audio aesthetics and visual aesthetics. DizzE, excellent advice, thank you. I'll rtfm for the torque value and check that will I'm lying there.
