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. Unbolt the stock canister at the passenger footpeg
bracket and where it bolts to the end of the header pipe
and remove.
3. Remove the centerstand bumper from the OE exhaust
and insert into the new s-bend.
4. Use the 4 (four) 6x14mm Socket Head Cap Screws and
6mm split lock washers to loosely join the slip-tube to the
muffler canister. Do night tighten yet.
5. Slide the s-bend onto the end of the headers. Secure the
support tab to the lower frame mount. Use the supplied
8mm Flange nut for this mount. Leave loose for now.
6. Carefully slide the canister clamp over the muffler. You
may need to twist and turn the s-bend tube a little to
get it in the right place. Locate both tabs of the canister
clamp outside of the passenger footpeg bracket. Use the
8x55mm bolt and the 11mm spacer to secure. 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
Care & Cleaning
Keep system free of dirt and moisture. Store in a cool, dry place. Make sure vehicle is
completely cool before maintenance.
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.
Clean using a mild water based spray cleaner. Always apply cleaner or polish with a soft,
clean cloth.
Titanium Header System: Polished titanium pipes will experience color shift ranging
from deep blue/purple through amber after a few heat cycles. This is a normal
characteristic of high quality titanium. Clean using a mild water based spray cleaner.
Always apply cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth.
Polished Aluminum Canisters: Use an aluminum or mag wheel polish to restore the
bright finish to factory spec.
Brushed Aluminum Canisters: Clean using a mild water based spray cleaner. Always
apply cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth.
Carbon Fiber Canisters: Clean using a mild water based spray cleaner. Always apply
cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth. 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 (Road - #005-10038, Offroad - #005-10038MX) that include
everything you need to easily do it yourself.
Titanium Mufflers: For cleaning use a mild water based spray cleaner. Always apply
cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth. 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.

Repack all road canisters every 3,000 miles. Part #005-10038
Repack all offroad canisters after every 10 hours of use. Part #005-10038MX
NEVER dyno test your bike with carbon fiber or titanium canisters installed - the
intense heat and lack of cooling air can quickly burn through the canister material. Two
Brothers Racing does not provide a warranty for burned canisters.
