Martin Retherford's Questions (ST list)
and Tom Monroe's Answers (Two Brothers)

Martin : Do you have to crack the mapping code to get the most out of this 
can?
[Tom Monroe] Crack the mapping code? I don't even know what you mean, but 
the answer is probably no.

Martin: What finishes will it come in and why is there a difference between 
"low" and "high" cans?
[Tom Monroe] Polished aluminum, filament wound carbon fiber, new X-Metal 
carbon fiber, and titanium. We'll have both oval and round mufflers, with 
essentially the same baffle. Slip-on tubes are polished stainless. Low is 
like standard, high is way up high and DOES NOT REMOVE the passenger pegs 
as we erroneously reported on our website. Our high pipe does not swing 
around to go under the bags like the Triumph pipe does.

Martin: What is the change that is induced by your pipe that the motor 
feels (i.e. why is your pipe better than the Triumph pipe for making more 
horseys and torque)?
[Tom Monroe] Don't know, haven't tested the Triumph pipe. These are 
slip-ons, and are probably going to be within 2 hp of each other. Other 
factors, like sound, materials, quality, fit/finish, will be better, we 
believe.

Martin: We all would like to see the dyno charts on what we would be 
getting for HP and torque from idle to red line. I don't mind changing my 
torque curve as long as I don't lose any bit of it. The reason most of us 
like this bike is because of the torque so if you can increase it we're all 
ears.
[Tom Monroe] I, too, would love to see those curves, and we're working on 
getting a bike post-mapped to try it out. Shouldn't be too long. And no, I 
never implied on the phone that we did the mapping here- we did not.

Martin: Do you have plans for an under seat exhaust?
[Tom Monroe] Not likely. The underseat exhausts that are currently on the 
market for other bikes (all by very small companies that do not sell much) 
all do the following: A. Cost in excess of $1500; B. Don't offer as much 
performance as a standard length exhaust; and C. Require either subframe 
gutting or a new subframe/fender. All of these problems limit the audience 
for this type of product. Sure, it looks cool, and I even have a dual, 
under the seat on my GSXR streetfighter, but it was custom, one-off, and 
required major work.
