JMS421 -> Two Brothers M2 Slip-on (10/23/2006 1:12:19 AM)

All right, Who has the Two Brothers Racing M2 slip-on. Im thinking about buying the carbon fiber one but I wanted to here what some of you had to say about it. Is it any good? Power gains? Sound?

  
doncollins -> RE: Two Brothers M2 Slip-on (10/23/2006 1:14:41 AM)

I have it, the M2h, love it, very loud, deep tone. Not D&D loud.... but you hear it.

JMS421 -> RE: Two Brothers M2 Slip-on (10/23/2006 1:36:39 AM)

So it does sound good. What about power? any gains? oh and with the carbon fiber it keeps a little cooler right so can I take off the heat shield above the muffler?

doncollins -> RE: Two Brothers M2 Slip-on (10/23/2006 1:48:47 AM)

I have all of the heat shielding removed and I've made several longer trips (over 400 miles non-stop) and I when I do ride, it's all day long. No heat damage at all.

Performance... maybe 3 or 4 HP. I did my dyno after all the mods were done and it showed 109.something. The guys running the dyno said they never ran a stock 600 with anything much over 100.... they said they're usually right at 100 or 101, 102. So with the slip-on, PC III usb, filter I maybe added 8 or 9 HP to the bike.

Which I personally think was mostly due to the PC III usb. I was running a -1 in the front to give me a little more in the take off area, but I'm happy with stock gearing (most of the time) with the PC III.

The sound... everyone loves it. I use to ride with a couple guys that had 600RRs, one with a Jardine and the other had the Yosi RS-5. They both wished they heard mine before they ordered their's.

It is louder... like I said, not D&D loud, but I like it. Here's an example for you. I'm in the middle of a major move and looking for a house. I keep my bike at my dad's in a nice climate controlled garage until I have a garage my bike can call home. He lives in the back of a subdivision and can hear when I enter the subdivision a mile away. Now, if I'm just rolling at the speed limit... you can't hear me that far away. But when you open it up... you're not sneaking away from anyone.

JMS421 -> RE: Two Brothers M2 Slip-on (10/23/2006 1:57:23 AM)

Thanks man that helped my decision out a lot. Do you know a website or anything with the cheapest prices and how much did the PCIII run you? Cause that seems like a good idea too. What brand of air filter are you running cause thats on my list as well. Right now my bike is completely stock engine wise. I have different rear turn signals and a fender eliminator from Ride Engineering but thats about it.

doncollins -> RE: Two Brothers M2 Slip-on (10/23/2006 2:08:39 AM)

I went with K&N air filter mostly because it's reusable. Just clean it, oil it back up and you're good to go.


I paid about $280 for the PC III usb from here

I ordered the 2bros with another member here on a group buy from one of our sponsors... about $450 shipped I believe. You can do a search and find it any where for about the same price now. We bought them when the going price was over $500.

Wait until others answer your question about exhaust to make up your mind. The RS-5 looks damn good, it's a little quieter and not as deep tone... but that might be what you're looking for.

JMS421 -> RE: Two Brothers M2 Slip-on (10/23/2006 2:14:24 AM)

Actually my sisters husband has the RS-5 on his bike and I dont really like it too much, and his friend has the Jardine and that seems a little weak to me. But im pretty made up on the Two bros. i like the look and soon i will like the sound. i will probably go ahead and get the pcIII too. thanks for your help and thanks for the link.

doncollins -> RE: Two Brothers M2 Slip-on (10/23/2006 2:21:26 AM)

Check out my gallery if you'd like to see more pics of the 2bros.... I did modify the mounting a bit. The supplied brackets were too long for my taste so I cut about .75 of an inch off to raise it up closer to the tail. Looks much better IMO. And I painted all of the stainless brackets flat black to blend in... not much of a bling, bling person. I hate chrome anything. I wished my damn rotors weren't so shinny [:D]

compulady5 -> RE: Two Brothers M2 Slip-on (10/23/2006 8:34:36 AM)

I ordered the CF M2 exhaust last week; should be here today and will be installed right away. [:)]

As far as prices go, shop around, a lot! I know it's the more expensive one. I can't recommend anyone because I work at a bike shop, so I get my stuff at 10% above cost (cuz my boss has gotten cheap), but still cheaper than anywhere else!

doncollins -> RE: Two Brothers M2 Slip-on (10/23/2006 5:00:42 PM)

10% above cost, damn, must be nice. Don't forget to post pictures of the work when you're finished. Are you doing the install or the shop you work at?

compulady5 -> RE: Two Brothers M2 Slip-on (10/23/2006 9:37:46 PM)

Yes. It came in today and Two bro's made a boo boo. First of all, I have an 06, and the M2 I ordered is for 01-06. WRONG! They sent the wrong mid pipe. So it had to be shipped back and *hopefully* was overnighted with the V.A.L.E. setup (same M2 CF) just different connectoids. I *heard* the regular slip ons had leakage problems?

Yes, going to install it at the shop (love that lift). Pics and vid/aud will follow.

Stockrocket -> RE: Two Brothers M2 Slip-on (10/23/2006 9:53:15 PM)

I cant wait to see/hear you video/audio of you 2 bros. I was really looking into ordering it for a self christmas present but havent had teh chance to really hear it for myself....everyone in my town are on damn yammies and gixxers. Only 600RR i seen has DnD and i didnt like it.

compulady5 -> RE: Two Brothers M2 Slip-on (10/24/2006 2:58:06 PM)

Ok here's the deal, straight from Two Bro's.... They are discontinuing their standard slip on's and parts for the standard slip ons and switching to the V.A.L.E. systems only.

Rather than get a midpipe for the 06, I'm returning mine (P/N 005-040407M) and getting the V.A.L.E.... It's a special order part, and will be here in a week I guess. Since my boss doesn't have a dealer account with two bro's, I have to order it through TR. Bummer.

So OP, keep that in mind before ordering the standard slip on-- order the VALE. It's the same cost wise.

Sound clips are here..

Maps for the PC are here

doncollins -> RE: Two Brothers M2 Slip-on (10/24/2006 6:26:19 PM)

I thought they only made the V.A.L.E. versions now, that's what I got and I ordered mine awhile back. I like how it bolts together instead of using springs.

compulady5 -> RE: Two Brothers M2 Slip-on (10/24/2006 6:33:19 PM)

Yes, I heard that it kicks ass. What do you think of it?
