All of the canisters perform and sound the same, they are simply different styles. For instance the M-2 & M-7 is Company normal smaller oval, the M-7 is the offroad version of the Sport Bike M-2. The M-5 is a large oval canister for bikes that require a larger looking exhaust. All M-Series (M-2, M-5 and M-7) canisters have the same high performance stainless steel core and high temperature packing material and thus will produce the same amount of performance gain and sound.
V.A.L.E. = Variable Axis Locking Exhaust The V.A.L.E.™ system is Company revolutionary and patented method of attaching Company muffler canisters to the exhaust tube without the use of springs or welding. Company V.A.L.E. systems allows 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.
There is no easier or more cost effective way to add performance, style and great sound to your bike. Next to the oil and tires, the exhaust system is probably the most commonly replaced item on a bike. More horsepower-get the power you've been craving for. Weight reduction-the lighter your bike, the faster it can accelerate. Increased safety-a deep and throaty exhaust note allows you to shift by ear rather than taking your eyes off the road to look down at the tachometer.

Need? No. Want? Probably. A Two Brothers Racing exhaust system will almost never cause a bike to run worse than it did with the stock exhaust system. However the addition of a jet kit or Power Commander will improve performance and rideability on most models. Performance gains vary among bikes, ask us what's right for you.
Generally fuel injected bikes automatically compensate for exhaust and engine related modifications very well. Unless you are building a Superbike motor with over 30% horsepower increases, your stock FI system should work just fine with your new exhaust system and you will reap the benefits immediately. Company have however found that with the addition of either a Juice Box™ or a Power Commander with the proper map, the ride-ability of the bike will improve greatly over that of the stock bike and there can be additional performance gains to be had. Company carry Company own signature Juice Box Fuel Controller and Dynojet Power Commanders for most fuel injected bikes.
