Parts List
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
We recommend that this performance part be installed by a qualified
motorcycle technician. If you have any doubts as to your ability to install
this performance part, please consult with your local motorcycle dealer.
Read all instructions first before starting installation. Make sure the
motorcycle and exhaust system are completely cool before starting the
installation. Also, make sure the bike is secure on a centerstand or ideally
a service lift during installation. Be sure to save all stock components for
possible use later.
Installation Instructions
1. Make sure the bike is completely cool before starting the
installation. Make sure the bike is secure on the sidestand
or ideally a rear service stand.
2. Loosen the clamp that holds the muffler connector pipe
to the headers under the bike.
NOTE: On most models you will need to unscrew the O2
sensor plug in order to mount the O2 sensor from the
stock exhaust system.
3. Remove the hardware that holds the stock muffler at the
passenger footpeg bracket. Take off the muffler. Be sure
to remove the exhaust gasket (header/muffler junction)
as our system does not use it.
4. Use the 4 supplied split lock washers with the 4 supplied
6x16mm Socket Head Cap Screws to loosely join the slip-
tube to the muffler canister. Do not tighten yet.
5. Install the O2 sensor (if applicable) into the new slip
tube. If your bike does not require an O2 sensor, use the
supplied aluminum block off bolt and copper washer to
seal the thereaded O2 bung in the slip-on tube. Do not
over tightened the O2 sensor, refer to the Honda shop
manual for proper torque specification. Slide the slip-on
connector pipe onto the end of the headers, using the
stainless steel Barrel clamp to attach it to the headers.
Leave loose for now.
6. Carefully slide the muffler clamp over the muffler. (Note:
The stainless steel canister clamp and the name badge
on the canister come from the factory with a clear plastic
protective film. Please remove this film before operation.)
You may need to twist and turn the slip-on a little to get it
in the right place. Locate both tabs of the canister clamp
outside of the passenger footpeg bracket. Use the stock
hardware to secure it. Leave loose for now.
7. Once the muffler is properly aligned, tighten the muffler
mounting bolt, followed by the V.A.L.E.™ screws, and
lastly the bottom barrel clamp. Tighten the V.A.L.E.™
screws in an X-pattern in order to achieve a proper fit.
8. Before you run the bike, clean off all fingerprints and
dirt, as any oily residue will etch the metal and become
permanent when the system gets hot. Also, remove any
plastic film from the name badge(s). Run the bike and
enjoy. It is normal for some white smoke to appear the
first time you start the bike. This is packing/manufacturing
oil from inside the pipe burning off. Check for gaps or
leaks. If you find a leak, a little high temperature silicon
sealant should fix it. After 50 to 100 miles, recheck all
fasteners for tightness.

Care & Cleaning / Warranty Information
Care & Cleaning
Keep system free of dirt and moisture. Store in a cool, dry place. For cleaning use
a mild spray cleaner. Always apply cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth.
Stainless Header System: Polished stainless steel pipes will turn a light golden
hue after a few heat cycles, this is a normal characteristic of high quality
stainless steel.
Carbon Fiber Mufflers: Always make sure the fiberglass packing inside is in
good condition and not burned out, as exhaust heat inside an empty canister
will deteriorate the Carbon Fiber sleeve. TBR sells repack kits (TBR part # 005-
10038) that include new rivets and repack material as well as a drill bit (#30),
making it easy to do yourself. Also, NEVER dyno test your bike with carbon
fiber mufflers installed - the intense heat and lack of cooling air can quickly
cause the CF material to burn. Two Brothers Racing does not provide a warranty
for burned carbon fiber.
Aluminum Mufflers: Use an aluminum or mag wheel polish such as Mother’s to
restore the bright finish to factory spec.
