Hey Harder12, i would get the after market slip-on or full system that you like. Write down your pro's and con's according to availability, price, shipping, looks and sounds.
Look at members pics and listen to there sound files.
lol on the line about one pipe running circles around another.
I'm with the others on SS and the fact that you can install a pipe yourself.

Like he says, it's a breeze to put on a slip-on. Think it took about 10 minutes, start to finish. The TBR is for sure not a quite pipe, it makes it sound like a four stroke race bike. I haven't heard the other ones but I love mine, just rode it for the first time today and it sounded sick! My buddies that ride two strokes were all complimenting me, saying the bike sounded like a real bike now! Haha If you're going to do a lot of street riding it might be kind of loud, but the cages will here you coming, that's for sure.

Finally, you do realize that this is just a slip-on, and is not going to dramatically increase performance like a full system would, right? If you already know all this then hey, write the check. If you have no idea of what this encompasses, then I'd say do more research. A new BigGun EvoX full system is the class of the class for the KLX, and brand new is $390 in stainless steel. It will run circles around a 2-bros or any other poser slip-on pipe that really, just makes the bike noisier more than anything.
You are an idot preaching the same trash. The KLX needs a muffler replacement long before the head pipe & you have no proof the Big Gun makes any more power than anything else so shut tool. Two different dyno graphs from two different bikes on two different dynos in two different parts of the world mean NOTHING!

Harder I too am from Canada and I paid like 90 bucks shipping + duty for my muzzy (it was like 500 or something i cant remember). The thing about getting a pipe (especially right now) is availability. I waited 2 months for the muzzy, and my brother waited almost as long for his Big Gun. If you know someone in the US you can ship it to that would be a bonus.

Also everything you need to know about re-jetting yourself is right here. Its stupid simple with the great pics and writeups.

Remember to ditch the emissions junk to keep your pipe from turning colors.

And for what its worth, paying that much for the slip ons is obscene. Don't do it. Get a muzzy or big gun (if you like the loud)

Seeing as how nobody wants to answer the question except for maybe one guy (no thanks to the idiotic Big Gun salesman), the 2 Bros website publically admits that he carbon fiber can is prone to 'discoloration' due to heat. That's an aweful lot to pay for something that will only look pretty for a short period of time. Try to keep a totally open mind when it comes to exhausts and do some research on Iowa Guy before taking his flippant advice. The heap pipe isnot ahugh limiting factor at stock displacement. Good luck.

also, where's your proof that says the KLX needs a muffler before a headpipe?
Ill Bite:

Just open your eyes. One is a smooth, free flowing pipe with no chnages in flow direction or obstructions. The other has obstructions (cat & baffles that change flow direction as the baffles are staggered) & a spark arrestor that changes the flow direction 180 degrees TWICE. Thats right, the exhaust gas is flowing in the direction from the rear wheel up to the front wheel in portions of the muffler, then turns it back around & out through the drinking straw sized hole in the end. If you think increasing the head pipe a fraction of an inch has more potential than eliminating all that nonsense with a muffler that uses packing around a straight through core & screen type spark arrestor instead of baffles & a Krizman type spark arrestor, as I have said before, you are flat out on crack. Its no "barks like a rotwiler" explanation but it will have to do. Then without any experience with any other pipe brand you make outrageous BG claims as if you held stock in the company.


& to the real topic:

The quality of the carbon fiber & heat it is subjected too, along with UV resistance, are factors in carbon yellowing or not. I have a street bike with dual carbon cans & they look like new but they are pretty much the highest quality you can buy & the dual cans help lower temperatures. I have seen alot of TB carbon cans yellow on street bikes. Your call. I would agree with what has been said here--being an off-road bike I would prob skip the carbon for crash related reasons.

Heres my 2 cents worth.........Go stainless......... Stronger, cheaper, better.

IMO a full system is worth it. Cause you know that onceyou get the slip on, do the rejet blah blah blah, then you get used to to the power and fork out a bit more for a 300 big bore kit then before you know it you will need a full system.
