Installation Instructions
16. Replace tailpiece using OEM left side and top bolt.
17. Using supplied 6x25mm bolt and 13mm spacer, secure
right side plastic.
18. Replace seat.
19. Double check to make sure that all hardware is tightened
20. Before you run the bike, clean off all fingerprints 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 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.
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 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.
