The triumph speed triple 955i 2000 – 2004 is one of the most iconic naked bikes ever to roll out of Hinckley, and if you’re looking to unlock its true potential, a quality performance exhaust is the single most impactful upgrade you can make. At Max Torque Cans, we’ve developed a purpose-built exhaust package specifically for the triumph speed triple 955i 2000 – 2004 that delivers improved flow, a meaner sound, and a cleaner aesthetic — all without compromising reliability or fit. Whether you’re a weekend blaster, a commuter who demands more from their machine, or a track-day regular, this exhaust package has been engineered with you in mind.
Our team has spent years working with British bikes, and the triumph speed triple 955i 2000 – 2004 holds a special place in the workshop. The 955cc triple-cylinder engine in these machines is a wonderfully characterful unit — raw, torquey, and full of personality. A well-designed performance exhaust lets that character breathe, removing the restrictions of the standard setup and giving you a more responsive, more visceral riding experience. This is not a generic, off-the-shelf solution. It is a hand-finished product made with the specific dimensions and mounting points of the triumph speed triple 955i 2000 – 2004 firmly in mind.
What’s Included with Your Triumph Speed Triple 955i 2000 – 2004 Exhaust Package
When you order this performance exhaust for the triumph speed triple 955i 2000 – 2004, you’ll receive everything you need for a clean, professional fitment straight out of the box. Here’s exactly what’s in the package:
- 1 x Stainless 304 CNC Mandrel Bent Link Pipe — precision-formed from high-grade 304 stainless steel to ensure consistent internal diameter throughout every bend, maximising exhaust gas flow and maintaining back pressure where it matters.
- 1 x Stainless Exhaust Strap — a robust, corrosion-resistant strap that holds your can securely in position, even under hard riding conditions.
- 1 x Exhaust Strap Rubber — a mounting rubber that cushions the silencer, absorbing vibration and protecting both the can and the frame from wear over time.
The link pipe has been CNC mandrel bent, which means the tube retains a consistent bore throughout all curves — unlike crush-bent alternatives that can create turbulence and restrict flow. For a machine like the triumph speed triple 955i 2000 – 2004, that consistency in gas flow translates directly into more responsive throttle feel and a smoother power delivery across the rev range.
Fitment Guide for the Triumph Speed Triple 955i 2000 – 2004
This exhaust is designed to fit directly onto the standard OEM downpipes of the triumph speed triple 955i 2000 – 2004, meaning no cutting, no fabrication, and no specialist tools required. It’s a genuinely straightforward swap that most home mechanics can complete with basic equipment in an afternoon.
Before fitting, we’d always recommend allowing your bike to cool fully if it’s been ridden recently. Remove the existing silencer and link pipe from the OEM downpipes, clean up the collector area, and then simply offer up the new stainless link pipe. It locates positively and securely onto the existing downpipes. Once aligned, fit the exhaust strap and rubber to mount the can in its correct position, tighten everything to a sensible torque, and you’re ready to go.

We’ve also put together video content showing the fitment process in action — you can see it in the video embeds above. Watching a real fitment on a triumph speed triple 955i 2000 – 2004 is the best way to understand the process before you start spanners out in the garage.
Why Stainless 304 Is the Right Choice for Your Triumph Speed Triple 955i 2000 – 2004
Not all stainless steel is created equal. We use 304-grade stainless for all of our link pipes because it strikes the ideal balance between corrosion resistance, heat tolerance, and workability. For a bike like the triumph speed triple 955i 2000 – 2004, which is likely to see all-weather British riding conditions, this matters enormously. Cheaper mild steel alternatives will rust and discolour quickly — 304 stainless holds its appearance and structural integrity year after year, even in salt-laden winter roads and heavy rain.
The CNC mandrel bending process we use ensures that every link pipe leaves our facility with a perfectly formed bore and clean, professional welds. You’re not buying a mass-produced part from a shelf; you’re buying a component that has been made with the triumph speed triple 955i 2000 – 2004 specifically in mind, produced by people who genuinely care about the quality of the finished product.
Performance and Sound: What to Expect from Your Triumph Speed Triple 955i 2000 – 2004 Upgrade
One of the most common questions we get from triumph speed triple 955i 2000 – 2004 owners is: “Will it sound better?” The honest answer is yes — significantly. The 955i triple has a naturally compelling exhaust note, and removing the restrictive standard silencer allows that three-cylinder character to come through fully. Expect a deeper, more purposeful tone at idle and a properly spine-tingling howl as you push through the mid and upper rev range.
Beyond the sound, the improved flow characteristics of the mandrel-bent link pipe contribute to a more linear throttle response and a slight improvement in overall performance feel. While we always recommend a fuel map adjustment for the best results with any performance exhaust change, many triumph speed triple 955i 2000 – 2004 owners report a noticeably more eager engine straight away.
If you’re thinking about going further with your bike’s look and specification, take a look at our Template Single Evo with surcharge — a popular choice for riders wanting a custom-spec silencer to pair with this link pipe setup.

Triumph 955 Speed Triple
For the years 2000 and 2001, the Speed Triple changed little other than cosmetically. The engine control unit was updated to the Sagem MC2000. The 97-99 bikes had a ground block known to fail, and so the 2000 and 2001 bikes received an improved wiring harness. Both the Speed Triple and the Daytona came to be referred to as 955i bikes (the Daytona adopting the 955i designation in 1999), which ended some confusion from the earlier T500 series designations. Other notable differences were silver wheels instead of black wheels, and the Speed Triple logo on the rear quarter panel was in print rather than cursive.
In 2002, Gareth Davies redesigned the plastics. The 432 lb (196 kg) was reduced by a change to the engine casings of the 955i engine that decreased weight by roughly 17 pounds. The power was slightly increased thanks to a new cylinder head design. The MC2000 control unit remained, but was adapted for an O2 sensor.
In late 2004, a small number of Special Edition Speed Triples (Speed Triple SE) were produced, with only cosmetic differences.
For all years 1997-2004, the Nissin brakes could be problematic. Though initially praised as one of the best stopping bikes, over time many owners complain of brake sponginess. The caliper pistons were not adequately coated and caused dirt, debris, and corrosion. The pistons would catch on the caliper seals and be pulled back into the caliper bore. This caused an excess amount of piston travel required to apply braking force giving a spongy feel. Daytona 675 calipers with a Teflon coating may be used to fix this. Fitting a larger master cylinder can also overcome excess travel.
