Default another 2bros installed!

Yes, Yes I received my tbr slip-on yesterday, got back home last night and decide, no matter the time itwas,to install this. Finally, it took about 15 minutes total to take the stock one off and put the new one on. It fits there very well. Once installed I decided to start the bike. Oh does it sound great!!!! A bit loud (without any tip because I did'nt receive it yet) Should be ok with the P4 tip. I will keep you informerd once I get it in place. I rode very little with it and could'nt really feel how it works. Did'nt open it up because of the time it was. Can't wait to try this in the trails! I'll try to take pictures and vids so I can share with you. I don't have more for now. No other mods for now, probably this winter in the basement...According to tbr I should see a minor change in the horsepower (without any other mods). What do you think?

congrats, glad to hear you're happy. The 2-bros looks like a nice unit, although a little costly. Nothing like starting a brand new exhaust up is there?

Sounds good to me Frogger. Looking forward to those pics! If I were you though I would get rid of the smog junk to make your pipe run a bit cooler, might be easier on the packing etc. Once you get your jetting done you'll notice a big difference in power, along with the other freebie mods you do!

Keep us posted!

Cheers

Put my TwoBroson last week. The pipe is great!Put a 13T Moose CS sprocket on the week prior. Can't believe the difference in power with just those two "upgrades". I didn't by a tip. The pipe doesn't seem too loudfor me. I like the sound now, like a real bike. I noticed a small gain with the 13T sprocket, but the two together seems huge compared to the stock config.

What else do you change with the sprocket to make it fit?

Did you paint your plastics? Why didnt you do the side panels? Looks good though.... Too clean.

Didn't change anything for the 13T. Bought it at the dealer (cheaper than online+shipping) and had the dealer put it on $45.00 labor.Used dealer because bike is still under warranty.


Going to paint the side plastic when I get a chance. Wanted to see how the frontheld up. Side panels get rubbed alot, wanted to make sure paint was durable enough. I hate white on any vehicle. Of course Kawi decided to make the 08's with a Red/White combo which doesn't look bad.

In re: to your clean comment EMS, the bike gets pretty dusty here in CO, but I do avoid mud! 80% of my time in on tracks teaching my boys how to ride. This is my first off road bike, so I guess I am taking it slow. I'm sure I'l feed the KLX some mud eventually.
