 Two Brothers M-2 VALE Slip-On Exhaust Yamaha R6 2006-2012
Two Brothers M-2 VALE Slip-On Exhaust Yamaha R6 2006-2012
Slip-On exhaust systems replace your existing s-bend pipe and exhaust canister. Two Brothers' s-bends are manufactured from .035 thin wall stainless steel. They then polish them to a satin finish. Two Brothers' uses only #304 stainless which will never rust. After a few heat cycles the steel turns a golden amber color which is the characteristic signature of high quality stainless steel. These systems not only add horsepower but also can drop significant weight from your bike. This type of canister can be mounted in the original canister position or in a high mounted canister position depending on the bike. The entire line of TBR M Series canisters feature the same high level of quality construction and are designed to be fully serviceable in the event of damage, routine maintenance or the occasional repack. Two Brothers Racing's V.A.L.E. slip-on exhaust systems and flange-on systems feature CNC'ed aluminum inlets. These special designs provide for ease of maintenance as well as simplified construction, which is what a premium performance product is all about! The exhaust note produced by all of their Top Level exhaust systems is best described as being deep and throaty without suffering from the shrill whine normally associated with other manufacturer's straight through muffler canisters. V.A.L.E. V ariable A xis L ocking E xhaust. The V.A.L.E. system is TBR's revolutionary and patented method of attaching their muffler canisters to the exhaust tube without the use of springs or welding. Their V.A.L.E. systems allow the muffler assembly - exhaust tube and canister - to be positioned perfectly on the bike before all the mounting hardware is fully tightened. Once the canister and exhaust tubes are properly aligned, the V.A.L.E. assembly locks the muffler canister to the exhaust tube assuring a perfect, leak-free fit. NOTE Please check local laws before purchasing. Some modifications may be prohibited in some states.

I have been exploring options to replace the stock pipe on a 2011 Yamaha R6 and had most people suggesting going with Two-Brothers. Revzilla had the best pricing by a long-shot on this pipe and was shocked that the day after I ordered it, it arrived at my front door step! That alone was very impressive. This pipe had gotten a bunch of good reviews from multiple people on this site as well as others and I have to agree that this product delivers. Being somewhat mechanical illiterate, I was able to do it in under an hour with some of basic tools I own (in addition to the few that come with the packaging) and had it fired up and working without any issues or leaks. Sounds louder then stock and each time I ride it, the sound gets a little bit more grumbly. No popping noise so far... just a good consistent sound and noticeable difference for the better. This is a score and looks great on my bike as well. Thanks Revzilla!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Akrapovic Slip-On Exhaust Yamaha YZF-R1 2009-2012 Akrapovic's sporty and lightweight SLIP-ON system offers a great balance between price and performance, and represents the first step in the exhaust system tuning process. The change will also be visual as their hexagonal mufflers fit the exterior line of the R1 perfectly and add a clean racing image. The muffler outer sleeve is made of titanium or carbon fiber, which gives a special hi-tech touch to our SLIP-ON system. Akrapovic also offers an optional Y type link pipe made of conical titanium tubes for more power and torque . You will also save up to 4.13 kg, compared to using a stock system. Click here for the Akrapovic Linkage Pipe Click here for power figures for this part Power Torque The exhaust system modification with the SLIP-ON OPEN + Y type link pipe system results in a major boost in performance, delivering a massive 164.2 HP at 12410 rpm on the back wheel. But the increased power is not available just at the top of the range the system already exhibits its quality at 4800 rpm and up, through the entire rpm range. The maximum power increase between the Akrapovi and the stock system is 5.1 HP at 6000 rpm. Additionally, the torque is substantially higher in the lower rpm area at 3000 rpm, and in the middle to high rpm area. Features Oval-shaped or Hexagonal-shaped canister with your choice of Carbon Fiber or Titanium Outer Sleeve Hexagonal mufflers feature a carbon fiber outlet cap to match the design of each bike Outlet cap, perforated inner sleeve and inlet cap are all made of titanium Joint of the inlet cap is milled on a state-of-the-art CNC machine and connected by high-quality silicon-shielded tempered springs Include a lightweight, compact and high-temperature resistant carbon fiber muffler clamp Conical or cylindrical link pipe is made of stainless steel or titanium shape is determined on the basis of tests of the connection of the link pipe with the muffler to obtain maximum performance increase NOTE Please check local laws before purchasing.

will the carbon fibre fit the 2012 anniversary edition R1 or is there a special anniversay model of this exhaust

my freind has the 50 yrs motogp anniversary edition and doesnt know whether this would fit on his as it only says up to 2011? we believe it is the same but want to make sure
There shouldn't be any reason it wouldn't fit or would run into complications. The bike hasn't changed much between the 11' and 12' models much like the R6. As a result, the majority of the parts available for any 11' Yamaha R1 or R6 series will fit on a 2012.
