Someone with a 2 Bros carbon has to weigh thier system now, they have been called out.

 

I don't want to start an argument, nor do i have any proof, but I am going to disagree with that statement.
I can onlyspeak for andcompare the stocker with my 2 bros, but, my canister is prolly half the size of the stocker, made of all aluminum with a magnesium tip, and doesn't have anything "extra".Pretty much just packing surrounded inbetween 2 tubes with a screen arrestor at the end.
Stock canister is prolly twice the length, has baffles, supposibly has a CAT, isn't all aluminum, has the turbine type spark arrestor (which I'm guessin is a little heavier than a sreen),etc. Just my opinoin.

 

Do you know how much the vapor and the clarke tank saved each? Obviously more fuel is going to be heavier, but dry weight, I never thought of the tank saving much weight. 1 pound maby? at the most. The oem tank isn't that heavy

 

I just went and weighed the stock exhaust and it's 8.2 pounds. I still have the box for the Two Bros and I'll look at it tomorrow and see if it has a weight on the box. I thought the stock exhaust would weigh more so I would like to see just what the Two Bros weighs. If I had to guess, I would say the Two Bos would come in at around 5 pounds if not less.

And yes, the Two Bros is for sure the nicest looking pipe out there. And doesn't stick out way past the fender like some of the others do. And it does bark very nicely[8D]

Here is some more information on my weight saving. The bike started life as an 05 KLX250, now has a 300 barrel and Dynojet + the usual other mods and my weight saving.
The Clarke tank is only 1.3lbs lighter, but was needed in my quest to eliminate keys.

Items removed from KLX

Headlight/instruments/brackets/blinkers/speedo cable 7.0lb
Rear Rack/blinkers/fender extension 3.5lb
Pillion pegs/de ice circuit/helmet holder/chainguard /rubber cover/sidestand switch/radiator fan 4.2lb
Original exhaust system 10.5lb
Ignition Barrel 1.3lb
Fuel tank 5.0lb
Original sprocket 42T 1.5lb
Mirrors 1.1lb

Total 34.1lb



Replacements

Headlight 1.3lb
Sprocket 0.8lb
Staintune full system 6.8lb
Clarke tank 3.7lb
Vapour trail tech speedo 0.6lb
Blinkers 0.4lb

Total 13.6lb

Meaning a saving of 20.5lb if I don’t run with mirrors.

 

Warren, You will note that I have said 10.5lbs for the exhaust. That is the weight of the whole system including header. You are correct, the stock silencer weighs about 8.2lb. I doubt there aremany aftermarket cans that weigh less than 4lbs - if they do they will not last long.

Whew, I come on here for a weight savings question and end up changing my mind about the exhaust ! I like the way the 2 Bros doesn't stick out like the other ones. They just look funny to me and we all know about 'mass centralization'. Though I know the difference wouldn't be noticable to us everyday riders....

Is it much louder ? I'm not looking for too much noise....

 

The Two bros without any tip is loud. But so is every aftermarket exhaust. It has really nice deep sound but it is loud. I bought the P4 and the P3 tips. I didn't like the sound of the P4 but the P3 is really nice. It fits right in with the spark arrestor. Here is a pic with the P3 tip in. And if you search through the past posts, there is a sound clip of the Two Bros. Also the easiest to install from what I hear. Took me about 15 minutes and that's with me cleaning everything under the sheild!

 

Was it just the sound you didn't like or the loudness level? Is the P4 quieter? I want the quietest one.

 

p3 is the quietest one. i have the p4 on mine, and it only quiets it a little, which was exactly what i was looking for...
without any tip the two bros sounds no less than awesome, but i didn't want to annoy the neighbors or the DEP officers too much.
