What's
the difference between the M-2, C4, M-5 or M-7 V.A.L.E. canisters? |
|
All of the
canisters perform and sound the same, they are simply different styles. For instance the M-2, C-7 are a small oval, the C-4 is round and the
M-55 is a large
oval canister. All M-Series (M-2, C4, M-5 and M-7) canisters have the same high
performance stainless steel core and high temperature packing material and
thus will produce the same amount of performance gain.

What
canister will look best on my bike? |
|
The
general rule of thumb is on smaller bikes (600cc’s) the M-2 small oval
looks better and on larger bikes (750cc’s +) the M-5 large oval looks best.
For those who like round exhaust canisters, we offer the C4 round. |
|
Why
should I buy an aftermarket exhaust system? |
|
There is
no easier or more cost effective way to add performance, style and great
sound to your bike. Next to the oil and tires, the exhaust system is
probably the most commonly replaced item on a bike. More horsepower-get
the power you've been craving for. Weight reduction-the lighter your bike,
the faster it can accelerate. Increased safety-a deep and throaty exhaust
note allows you to shift "by ear" rather than taking your eyes off the
road to look down at the tachometer. |

Why
should I buy a Two Brothers Racing exhaust system? |
|
While Two
Brothers Racing enjoys the legacy of being a successful Honda factory
backed AMA Superbike team and winner of multiple national championships,
we now fully devote ourselves to the design, manufacturing and production
of the most technically advanced exhaust systems that you can buy today.
All of our exhaust systems are hand made under our roof in Santa Ana, CA
USA. |
|
Are
aftermarket exhaust systems street legal? |
|
No, a
common misconception is that some aftermarket systems are legal while
others are not. Currently no City, State or Federally approved motorcycle
aftermarket exhaust system exists in the U.S. market. Our exhaust systems
are for racing purposes only. |
|
Full,
slip-on or flange-on exhaust system, what's right for me? |
|
For riders
wanting maximum performance from their bikes there is no better way to
achieve it than by installing a Two Brothers Racing exhaust system.
This not only adds horsepower but drops unnecessary weight from the bike.
We offer
slip-on and flange-on exhaust systems and full systems for select models.
Your specific bike will determine whether you want a slip-on, flange-on
or full exhaust system. Our knowledgeable sales staff will assist you
there. |
|
Do I
need a jet kit? |
|
Need? No.
Want? Probably. A Two Brothers Racing exhaust system will almost never
cause a bike to run worse than it did with the stock exhaust system.
However the addition of a jet kit or Power Commander will improve
performance and rideability on most models. Performance gains vary among
bikes, ask us what’s right for you. |
|
My bike is fuel injected, do I
need to make any adjustments or chip changes? |
|
Generally fuel injected bikes
automatically compensate for exhaust and engine related modifications very
well. Unless you are building a Superbike motor with over 30% horsepower
increases, your stock FI system should work just fine with your new
exhaust system and you will reap the benefits immediately. We have however
found that with the addition of either a Juice Box™ or a Power Commander
with the proper map, the
ride-ability of the bike will improve greatly over that of the stock bike
and there can be additional performance gains to be had. We carry our own
signature Juice Box Fuel Controller and Dynojet
Power Commanders for most fuel injected bikes and we can also furnish it
with a map just for your machine and our pipe. |
|
What do
Two Brothers Racing exhaust systems sound like? |
|
All of our
canisters are louder than stock, but not obnoxiously loud. Our exhaust
systems are designed to produce a deep and throaty exhaust note. Our
canisters have a reputation for being one of the quietest
“straight-through” systems on the market today. |
|
Are
replacement parts available for my Two Brothers Racing exhaust system? |
|
Yes, we
produce and/or assemble every component of every exhaust system under our
roof in Santa Ana, CA. This enables us to provide you with the parts you
need to repair/replace just about anything on or related to your exhaust
system. There are too many small parts to list in our catalog, so in the
unlikely event that you damage a part please call us and we will have what
you are looking for.
|
|
Are Two
Brothers Racing canisters rebuildable/repackable and how often do I need
to do this? |
|
Yes, all
Two Brothers Racing canisters are rebuildable. The length of time between
repacks varies depending on the type of riding you do and the type of bike
you own. Inline fours and sixes are generally very easy on the packing
material while singles and big twins tend to be harsh on the packing.
We’ve seen sport touring bikes with over 60,000 miles on the mufflers
where the packing looked as good as new while we’ve also seen big
superbike twins with lot’s of track time burn through the packing in less
than 2,000 miles. If you need to repack your canister(s), repack kits are
available (one repack kit per canister). The kits come with new rivets,
packing material and a drill bit (#30) to remove the old rivets. We also
provide the service and it typically runs $25 per canister plus parts. |
|
Do you
furnish exhaust port/engine gaskets with your systems? |
|
No. As
with most engine related components that are sold, gaskets are a separate
item. We do try to stock exhaust port gaskets for the most popular
applications however. |
