and dirt, as any oily residue will etch the metal and
become somewhat permanent when the system
gets hot. Run the bike and enjoy. It is normal for
some white smoke to appear the rst time you start
the bike. This is packing/manufacturing oil from
inside the pipe burning off. Check for gaps or leaks.
If you nd a leak, a little high temperature silicon
sealant should x 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. 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 nish 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 berglass packing inside is in
good condition and not burned out, as exhaust heat inside an empty canister will deteriorate the carbon ber sleeve.
TBR sells repack kits (Road - #005-10038, Offroad - #005-10038MX) that include everything you need to easily do it yourself.
Titanium Mufers: For cleaning use a mild water based spray cleaner. Always apply cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth. Always make sure the berglass packing inside is in
good condition and not burned out, as exhaust heat inside an empty canister will deteriorate the carbon ber sleeve.
TBR sells repack kits (Road - #005-10038, Offroad - #005-10038MX) that include everything you need to easily do it yourself.
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 ber 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.
