Warranty
Two Brothers Racing products are intended for closed course competition purposes only, and therefore are sold “as is” without warranty. Two Brothers Racing specifically disclaims any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose and disclaims all responsibility for consequential and incidental damages or any other losses arising from the use of these products or parts.
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 mufer connector pipe to the headers under the bike. Repeat on opposite side.
3. Remove the hardware that holds the stock mufer at the
side.
4. Attach the slip-tubes with the X-Lite Rings™ to the
mufers using the 8 (four) 6x14mm socket head cap
screws and split lock washers provided. Leave loose for now.

V.A.L.E.™ Assembly Detail
5. Slide the S-bend connector pipe into the end of the headers, re-using the clamp and gasket to secure it to the headers. Leave loose for now. Repeat on opposite side.
6. Carefully slide the mufer clamp over the mufer. (Note: The stainless steel canister clamp and the name badge
on the canister come from the factory with a clear plastic
protective lm. Please remove this lm before operation.)
You may need to twist and turn the S-bend a little to get it in the right place. Locate both tabs of the canister clamp
outside of the mufer bracket. Use the stock bolt and nut
to secure it. Leave loose for now. Repeat on opposite side.
7. Make sure everything is aligned and tighten all hardware.
Including the 8 (eight) 6x14mm S.H.C.S. in the V.A.L.E.™
assembly and the barrel clamps.
8. Before you run the bike, clean off all ngerprints 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
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 Mufers: 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.
