What Sleeve Material Should You Get?
Regardless of sleeve material or shape, all of our canisters perform and sound the same. We manufacture our exhaust systems from different materials to allow you to best match our canister to your bike.
Polished/Brushed Aluminum
Aluminum is a very lightweight and strong material used extensively in the aerospace, automotive, and of course, motorcycle industries. Aluminum is a wise choice due to its excellent strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and clean look. We use lightweight thin-wall .060” extruded 6061 aluminum alloy that is heat treated to a T-6 condition for increased strength, durability, hardness, and finish hold. After the aluminum has been heat treated, it is cut to length and given a brushed satin finish. Ounce for ounce aluminum is the best value of all our M & C Series mufflers. As a rule our aluminum mufflers weigh about 8.3oz. more than Titanium or Carbon Fiber mufflers.
Carbon Fiber
We have been using Carbon Fiber in motorcycle mufflers since 1992. We are currently the only US Company to exclusively use Filament Wound Carbon Fiber (FWCF) on every carbon fiber muffler we sell. We draw on only the best high temperature resins, and control a proprietary lining system adopted from spacecraft, for additional heat resistance. Our FWCF is continuously wound over a precision machined mandrel for a 100% seamless bond. The FWCF tube is then cured in a high temperature autoclave oven for superior strength and heat resistance. These crucial elements meld to form a precision lightweight muffler that will perform as well as it looks.
Titanium
By weight titanium is one of the world’s strongest readily available metals, making it ideal for our M & C series mufflers. It is 45% lighter than steel with comparable strength, and twice as strong as aluminum while being only 60% heavier. That’s right titanium is HEAVIER than aluminum, but since it is twice as strong we are able to use very thin (.024”) material to construct our Titanium muffler. The result is a muffler that is about 8.3oz. lighter than our M or C series aluminum mufflers. Titanium has become an industry standard for motorcycle mufflers due to its durability, corrosion resistance, lightweight, and factory look.
Dealer Spotlight
JUICY PIPES UK Two Bros Platinum Dealer
Interview with Nick Jordan - Juicy Pipes UK
When did Juicypipes open?
Juicypipes, the UK importer ofTBR products, has been running for 2 years. Our background is that we’ve had a motorcycle dealership, Jordan Bikes, for 8 years now.
Why did you decide to distribute?
As a dealer, we already soldTBR products anyway, but two years ago the previousTBR importer disappeared and we had unfulfilled orders, so we contacted you guys to buy the stock direct, and after a lot of discussion, we became the sole UK importer.
What do you like most about the power sports industry?
The fact that we sell adult toys, so no matter how old the customer, they are a kid at heart.
What product or service do you provide that customers may not know about?
We’re going to work hard this year to get the Juicebox Pro into peoples minds over here, as the Power Commander is the fuel controller choice for most people at the moment, and has been for decades. People who have chosen the JB Pro have been delighted, and so we are going to make inroads into this area this year.
What are some of your most popular products?
We’ve always sold a lot of exhausts for the 2009/2010 R1, and also for the Suzuki B-King.This year, by a mile, we’ll sell more Black Series carbon systems for the new ZX10R, we already have a waiting list !
What do you like about havingTwo Brothers?
It’s such a great product, that we love to represent it. Customers in the UK are oftenTBR virgins, as the brand is only just becoming big over here, and the first time they see and feel a carbon exhaust, their faces are like they are touching something alien, totally awestruck by how light and well made it is.
What is your favorite power sport vehicle to ride?
I currently have a GSXR750K7 race bike for track days, and for the last 10 years I’ve had various tuned up Gilera Runner scooters for the road; great fun when everyone else is on a sports bike.
Do you have a favorite riding spot?
Without question Cadwell Park race circuit in Lincolnshire has the best piece of tarmac anywhere on the planet, known as ‘The Mountain.’ If you’ve never heard of it, type into you tube ‘Josh Brookes Cadwell Park’ That will explain all !
One of your most memorable riding experiences?
I’m a sports bike rider through and through, but a couple of years ago me and my lady took out a Harley to see what all the fuss was about. It was an FXDSTISRCS F? Anyway, it was blue, and we had an awesome ride around the countryside. Both of us loved it.There was no thrill, no adrenaline, no risk of a high side, but we got to look at the view as we rode, and we really had time to appreciate being in the open air. We even saw an eagle, how apt!
Fun facts about Juicypipes employees?
We’re a small team here. We have Nicky, who is half Spanish, and uses her family heritage for justification when she gets mad. EG it’s my latin blood, I can’t help it.Officer. We have Bob, AKA Big Bad Bob, ‘cos he’s big, and, er... bad, and myself, Nick, and I do the artwork for advertisements and pay the bills !
Interesting local facts about Leeds?
Leeds is the biggest city in the north of England, and Peter O’Toole comes from there. So does Ernie Wise in case you don’t know who Peter O’Toole is.
We have a great range of TBR ladies and gents clothing for sale online, and we'll soon have a kids and babies range, as well as hoodies for doggies so you can pimp your pooch.
