What would be the better pick for my 08 d675? The M5 or the M2 slip on exhaust from two brothers? The only difference that i can find is pipe size. I dont do track days, I basically only ride it to work and frequent cruse days with friends. Thanks.

Go with the m5, it is awesome. Its what I have

Awsome! Thanks man. I was just wondering if it would effect low end at all being a larger pipe size. Did you have any problems like that?

i got my TBR pipe put on at the 500 mile service. That was also during the break-in period, where I never got it above the 5,000 rpm mark and was not riding it hard. So I am not sure about any performance upgrade. But I will tell you that you will lose about 10 pounds after taking off the stock pipe. Also the fender elimanator kit that comes with the exhaust is sweet. You will like it, go buy it.

Man thanks a lot! You definatly persuaded me there. Did you get yours from the dealership?

I have had 2 TBR M5 Carbon exhausts and highly recommend them!
You also get a fender eliminator in the package

Got my last one and heaps more parts shipped from the US from www.sportbiketrackgear.com

two brothers pipes are garbage. I had the m5 carbon on my bike an it came apart several times and melted my undertrey($125). it also came apart at the end cap and melted my tail light twice($130). It is built cheep and two brothers will blame you for installing it wrong. I didnt try an get them to do anything other than take the pipe back for a refund of the purchase price and they said I must have installed it wrong. I am a trained motorcycle mechanic so I've installed a few exhausts in my time. I even tried several brands of high temp thread locker. My brother also had his on his 1000rr come apart at the mid pipe to can conection although his didnt damage anything. I then got the m4 wich I was pleased with, and now I have an arrow 2 wich is super bad.

my dealer installed mine, i have had it for about 4 months. Hopefully it will not fall apart like the other guys, i have not had any overheating issues with the taillight.

Strange to hear you your pipe came apart several times and melted your undertray, possible vibrations to make the bolts come loose but strange if using thread locker. I've never had a problem and dont use thread locker and i ride my bike pretty hard on road and track
