Two Brothers Slip On

[redneckK20]

Who's got one? After 10,500 miles and 9 months, I started noticing a sound difference and a rattle. Look at my muffler and the carbon fiber sleeve has wallered out around the rivet and let loose, causing the strap to come off and rattle. I tried to email two brothers at the time. No response. Didn't think it was a really big deal, kept riding. A month later the can is thrashed... I do realize that Two Brother's suggests repacking the muffler when the tone changes or the can gets discolored, neither of which really happened.

Here's the high quality hardware they used to clamp it (had to cut the clamp because the bolt was too rusted to move and I had my stock one still)


Here's the can

WOW..... No stainless ?

 

[redneckK20]

Yea, kinda my thought.. And the carbon fiber failing so easily really bugs me. I'd like to get my hands on the brushed aluminum sleeve and I could replace that CF..

Two brothers is not known for their "high quality" in the sportbike world...
I can see the same here as well...

 

[twinrider]

Yup, Two Bros is known for their low prices, not their high quality.

I have one but I got the stainless steel version and used a different clamp with anti seize.

 

[greg the pole]

I have one, used anti seize on the clamp. So far so good,
But I'm hunting for a second hand stain tune, that I will
Get dave6 to fab up for me

you get what you pay for...

I'll stick with my Staintune (*stainless--no repacking -- found it used for $100 -- w00t*)

No way would 2 Bros be my 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd choice of pipe on an adventure bike. They're not built well enough to even consider for that purpose.
They are for the sport bike crowd, where it's hip you show off how badass ur pipe looks and how loud it sounds.

Not to pile on, but like others have said... Two Bros. isnt known for quality.

....I have Two Bros. on my TL1000R because they were cheap. I wouldn't put them on the Tenere.

 

[squarebore]

you guys are so harsh - it's just a piece of pipe with a hole in it.

 

[hANNAbONE]

...a very cheap hole, I might admit...

Yeah, and it was inexpensive, too! ::025::

I had high hopes for the 2 Brothers considering I put 30,000 miles on an R1 with a 2 brothers can on it without a single issue. Never had to repack it, never had any issues whatsoever. I've also got quite a few friends with 2 brothers exhaust on their bikes that have no issues either.. I wasn't about to drop $900 on something else, and the staintune is definitely not for me.. I hate the way it sounds.

Love my Remus...
Just take the reflector off...

Same with the 2 brothers..

Mine is magically gone lol

Update: Got in contact with Two Brothers, after a little bit of negotiating, they sent me a new black series aluminum muffler free of charge. They stood behind their product.

Hard to argue with that.

I will be pulling mine in the winter for a check and repack.
