Exceptionally well made and excellent fit. They are fantastic value too. Certainly superior in quality and fit to Termignoni and Arrow in my view, but not as quite as good as Akrapovic... but then they are under half the price of Akras.

This is a pic of the welds on the SC Project exhaust I had.

They are very good, not far off Akra imo and half the price, Italian made and several Moto2 teams use them. I had one on my S1000RR and have one currently on my R9T, don’t have an R9T pic but here’s the S1000

Both of mine have required no ECU adjustment just bolt on

The bike is a bit to heavy to start with. The standard twin exhausts weigh about 9kg IIRC. Underseat arrows were about 6kg. the low boy was about 1kg. Where the weight is you can really feel the handling difference with a low boy system and I prefer the look anyway.

I ran the underseat Arrow map Triumph map with the SC project can as the ECUs are easy to flash yourself. This gives excellent pops and works well as the cat is the main block anyway. I then bought the Arrow low boy full system and put on the Triumph map for that. The weight is the same, but that map and decatting gives the bike a lot more mid range and top end, plus epic flames as in my video hehe

I can't remember what model you have but the ECU on my bike and many other bikes that run this ECU is really easy to interact with. You just need the right cable and the app now sits on an Android device rather than the more complicated issues with old XP drivers on Win 7/Win 10 laptops. You back up the original map and place on the official Triump maps you want (or indeed any custom map). you can also custom edit cells on the map, so if you want crackles or flames higher up in the rev range on the over-run, you just add a bit of fuel on closed throttle as it does where the main flames are between 4 and 5k rpm.

It's useful as the app allows you to balance throttle bodies, set speedo calibration and all sorts. It also shows every sensors inputs, so a faulty sensor can quickly be found. Shame you can't do it on all bikes.

I’ve been looking at these for the KTM, amazing value compared with an Acrapovic. Very tempted..

OP Sadly you can't use TuneEcu with 2016s on, have a look in the tunecu site to confirm this.. Triumph locked down the ECU as they've done with pretty much all their other models people were loading maps themselves on to

Can only agree, previous owner fitted SC Project low boy can to my Speed, seems very well made. Best thing is it's the road legal E Marked one, it's way louder than standard and if I want to be anti social sometime you can remove the baffle held in by a circlip

Great quality but customer service can be very poor if you need any parts or have an issue.
Also orders can take an age to arrive unless they have stock.

I had the CR-T can fitted to my Ducati and they are nice pieces of kit as others have already said.

I did have a weld fail on the exhaust bracket though which resulted in the can rotating around the link pipe and dragging on the road.

I contacted SC Projects and their customer service was spot on, I sent off the damaged one and they sent out a brand new can as a replacement. I couldn't fault them at all.

Mine is running the stock map currently - I do need to have a moment (not easy with a 15month old son and trying to move house) to get this remapped on a dyno or load the arrow highlevel map (most suited to standard headers with the standard can cats removed) by either a triumph dealer or myself with TuneECU. I did at least confirm the map number its running with my crappy old nexus 7 tablet but I was trying to read the map off the ECU and it just was taking far too long so canned it, haven't bothered since.

Your best option with a locked down ECU I'd suggest get the Triumph dealer to load the Arrow high can map as you'll be keeping the standard headers.

Certainly neater welds than Termignoni.

SC project stuff always seems very loud so maybe give it a miss if you want to track it

They do a tonne of different types of exhausts for each bike it seems. The Racefit style ones are proper loud, just like Racefit funnily enough - as a baked bean can that is 3mm greater in diameter than the rest of the system is always going to sound raspy, too loud and st.

I had the oval exhaust on mine. With baffle out, at a 102db trackday at Brands it passed the static test and got through first session. In the second session it popped the sound meter half way through and I got black flagged. Put the baffle in and got it re-tested by the static guy and he didn't even bother with the noise meter - waved me through. No more problems for rest of track day.

As you have twin pipes so in theory more silencing length, it should be quieter still.

SC Stuff which is road legal does have the proper Euro E marking, thats all you need to worry about its fully homologated and therefore road legal. As I already said my SC single lowboy can with the baffle in is 'way' louder than the standard twin factory ones. Its declared on the insurance correctly as a road legal aftermarket can, if I get pulled over the can has the E marking on it as well and the baffle is in place (by choice) as its loud enough for me smile

Superb, now just to measure up and put the SC Project stickers on perfectly!

Nice deep noise without rasp even when baffles out.

Two of us mentioned loudness, you've now confirmed wink Yep circlips a good way to retain baffles.. as I said before mine is loud enough with the baffle in lol
