I am wondering if TORs are considered to be excessively loud.

TORS (triumph off road) arre not very loud at all, they are a nice sounding pipe, have a few friends here that have them and they sound pretty decent, they bark when you are on them a bit but nothing radical, notlike my bubs or others that are out there.

I like 'em... especially the straight through version. Not too loud at all.

Any pipes that are not stock, or are altered, are not legal.
The TORS are sold for off-road use only. Hence, the name.
Any aftermarket pipes (bubs, scepters, d&d, jcwhitney, tpusa,
stayintune, epco, thunderbike, you get the idea) are not legal.

Good question...are the pipes really illegal here in Canada/USA? I know the disclaimer under the pipes states that they aren't legal but is that for every country or just England (get my point)? If they were illegal why do so many bike shops switch the pipes when they sell the bike, remap/rejet the engine, then plate the bike for on road use????? I think the onus is on the law enforcement agency in your jurisdiction to determine if the bike is too loud using a decimeter of some sort unless someone makes a general complaint.

Maine is still in the USA, eh? Not loud until you twist the throttle. Run 'em & be happy.

Off road pipes are illegal because of the EPA noise abatement legislation from the 70s. But, Congress stopped funding the EPA noise enforcement office in 82, the laws are still on the books, the idea being that it was more appropriate for states and localities to enforce their own laws. So, it pretty much depends on the level of enforcement in your communities of noise levels and inspection system.
