Default Ahhhh, the Two Brothers exhaust :)

It took me some time to find an exhaust that I liked. I finally decided on the Two Brothers. A lot had to do with the fact that it was sitting on the shelf at my local CycleGear shop and I could see it in person instead of guessing with pictures on the internet.

It also showed a dyno on the box and website. 4 rear wheel horsepower for a slip-on. I'd say that's around 6 at the crank.

Pretty darn good for a slip-on. Brings me to 130 at the crank.

Install was a pain because it's an undertail and I had to remove EVERYTHING.

Even my kitchen sink. Although I didn't really understand that part of the instructions

Anyway, the exhaust is LOUD and very very deep and throaty. Not like a lot of other pipes that sound crackly and tinny like a soda can. I've got nothing but compliments on the sound because it is so deep/throaty and beefy sounding.

Two Brothers even makes a baffle for it in case you wanted to tone it down a few decibles.

Anyway, I'm super happy with my choice and the quality of the exhaust.

When I use to have my SV650 street bike, it had a two-brothers slip on. Man was it nice! I LOVED! it! It sounded bad! Didn't care if it gave me any power. I just loved the sound!

Dual Two Bros cans on mine! I also tend to rev a little at lights for my own pleasure. Sounds deep and loud even with baffles! Any bike I have from now on will have a Two Bros exhaust. CONGRATS!

But not just the sound.....the end cap is magnesium and really shows off the very large straight through opening. Not like some exhausts with an "outlet". This has no outlet. It just has the magnesium end cap with a very large hole in the middle. Very different looking and sweet.

I'm glad others feel the same way about the sound. At idle, it sounds like a V6 race car.

Yeah, I'll sit at the light and blip the throttle just to hear the sound. The CBR600 has such a light flywheel that the engine blips so quickly.

I'm happy

Thanks

130 at the crank seems a little high to me for a 600...

Exhaust looks great

Why worry about imaginary inflated 'crank hp' figures? This seems like an import tuner mindset.

It's a nice exhaust! Enjoy it for what it is.

im tring to decide between yoshi or two bro's for my 250. only problem. if i can't find a 2-1 header that will work for either. i'll have to buy 2. cost is the only problem. not the fact of getting 2.

Well, everyone states different horsepower figures depending upon what article I'm reading. Two Brothers "CLAIMS" 4-6 rear wheel horsepower increase for a measly slip-on. Give or take a horse, that's still pretty nice. If anything, I've always LOST horsepower from a slip-on in the past. So, I'm happy.

I hardly every full throttle-redline it anyway. I'm a corner guy, not a strait-line guy. So, all out horsepower does me no good in the corners except for maybe a bit more torque coming out of the last turn.

The 250 has dual pipes? Or did I just misread your post?
