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.
Chrome Header System: Chromed header tubing will turn blue close to the exhaust ports, this is normal. To pre-
vent corrosion you must keep the header pipes clean.
Carbon Fiber & X-Metal Mufflers: X-Metal CF canisters will shift color from their original silver color to an amber
color after a few heat cycles, similar to the way our stainless steel headers shift color. Always make sure the fiber-
glass packing inside is in good condition and not burned out, as exhaust heat inside an empty canister will deterio-
rate the Carbon Fiber / X-Metal CF 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.

We recommend that this performance exhaust system

be installed by a qualified motorcycle technician. If you
have any doubts as to your ability to install this exhaust
system, please consult with your local motorcycle deal-
er. Read all instructions first before starting installation.
Make sure the motorcycle and exhaust system are com-
pletely cool before starting the installation. Also, make
sure the bike is secure on the sidestand or ideally a rear
service stand during installation. Be sure to save all
stock exhaust components for possible use later.

1. Make sure the bike is completely cool before starting the

installation. Make sure the bike is secure on the side-
stand or ideally a rear service stand.

2. To prevent scratching the fairing place a blanket or towel

below it. Remove and lower the fairing onto this and then
slide it out from under the bike.

3. Loosen the exhaust clamp where it bolts to the engine.

Remove the stock exhaust system at the rear canister
support bracket. CAUTION-the stock exhaust is heavy,
be careful not to drop it! Be sure to remove the exhaust
gasket from the end of the header as well, you will
NOT be reusing this.

5. Connect the new S-bend pipe to your stock header, using

the supplied T-bolt clamp. You will NOT be reusing the
exhaust gasket. Leave loose for now.

6. Place a bead of the hi-temp sealant on the outside edge

of the s-bend that goes into the canister. Slide the TBR
canister onto the end of the S-bend pipe. Wipe off the
excess sealant that will squeeze out.

7. 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.)
Locate both tabs of the canister clamp outside of the pas-
senger footpeg bracket. Use the stock hardware to ser-
cure it. Leave loose for now.

8. Make sure everything is aligned and tighten all hardware.

Affix the connector springs to the muffler.

9. Before you run the bike, clean off all fingerprints and dirt,

as any oily residue will etch the metal and become some-
what permanent when the system gets hot. Run the bike
and enjoy. It is normal for some white smoke to appear
the first time you start the bike. This is packing/manufac-
turing 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.

10. Reinstall the lower fairing.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
