2012 raven R1 Two Brothers slip on and graves Y

My review on the Two Brothers carbon fiber black edition, and Graves titanium Y pipe.

[@andydesouza1854]

that bike looks clean as hell, very nice indeed.

[@tysonblaq5300]

Awesome bike, sounds beautiful I'm going to run the same when I get my r1 next week!

[@myfaceisonfire1]

Man! i love this R1, my favorite bike. Nice vid. getting one after my R6.

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks man!

[@KeithFox]

I love how the R1 sounds and pulls like a Vtwin. That setup you have sounds great

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks man!

[@Lee76CoUk]

Just found this, albeit a couple of years old. Love your R1 mate.

[@adamstratford6740]

awesome R1

[@joshuajames3069]

Thats a sick r1 bro, love the look and sound of it.

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate it!

[@dmmjq2]

The few bikes I've had .. always put two brothers exhaust on them because of the deep throaty sound... to me two brothers has the best look and the best sound... nice bike..

[@bkj427dvl]

getting my cat delete and still on the fence on the tail end. two bros sounds pretty deep on the rumble you may have convinced me.@Noxlmus do you have your ecu flashed or just the pc?

[@showb_3]

Where did you get your Y pipe for the two bro exhaust ?

[@zr1vetteman09]

Love the Bike! Im a huge Vtwin/V4 engine lover due to the sound. I AM IN LOVE WITH THE CROSSPLANE WITH SLIP ONS! Sounds like a race V8 going through the gears! This is the bee's knee's as far as best sounding bike around. Cant stand the bumble bee sound of all other inline fours and the torque is so linear on this bike. better mid range and low end than the other inlines making it so much more fun in corners and on the street. I am on the market for a 2009 & Up myself. Nice job!

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate it.

[@KidCannon4407]

John I bought an r3 about 8 months ago. I was looking to upgrade to a r6 or 636 but my dream bike is an r1. I ride my bros gsxr1000 comfortably but I'm still debating if I should skip the 600 and go straight to liter. There's a sexy 05 r1 at a dealership near me. What are some opinions?

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Yeah, once you jump head first into it, it all makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions when you do get it.

[@t.c.x.s.t.x.2877]

would a sea foam be ok to test out on it?

[@BenNoel117]

This is probably the nicest R1 I've seen.

[@pasolesoup7430]

How hard is it to tune the bike yourself with the dynojet?

[@cobaltss0720]

Its a moto dynamic sequential tail. You can get it directly from their site, the 12' and 13' are the same.

[@cobaltss0720]

I love the bike, it's honestly my baby. If you get it, you're going to absolutely love it. Keep in mind, if it's stock, there are going to be things you're going to want to change. Once the modding begins, it seems to never end...lol

[@reptilemadman1994]

what are the differences between the full akrapovic system and the Two Brothers carbon fiber

[@TheNico9696]

ok so what does that tuning thing do for/to your exhaust? what's the fuel modulator thing to? and why does your tail light blink an flicker? man you have a sweet bike!

[@tlouie97]

Anyone know if an akro Y pipe will fit on these two bros slip ons??

[@barryocelectric]

Hey, I have a 2 bros slip on on my 09 r1. I was thinking of getting 2 bros y pipe and juicebox. Do u think it would make a big difference? Also how do I do an ecu flash? Thanks in advance man

[@howboutsomecoal]

Ur exhaust doesn't get too hot right side?

[@phillippavon4238]

where did you get your headlights?????

[@showb_3]

Where did you get your lights? Site?

[@CraigMrScott]

What a beautiful bike!

[@unjustkatana]

Hey, Cobaltss0720...I'm planning to install grave Y pipe and their exhaust pipe on my 2012 R1 would PC5 be enough? I don't want any more power I just don't want the new Y piple and the new exhaust to damage my engine.

[@rakitharanasinghe9016]

your R1 is awesome!!.. what do u think about TOCE exhaust system for R1.?

[@redstang1874]

Hey what's up man. You're bike is beautiful and sounds amazing. I'm actually picking up a 2014 R1 real soon. I want my bike to sound exactly like yours. Does the Y pipe make a difference as far as sound? Can I just get the two bros slip ons or do I need the new Y pipe as well?

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks Man! Yeah I absolutely love it... There are some must do's when you get it though. Exhaust for performance/exhaust tone. ECU flash, if you're local I can do that for you....

[@willjackson1487]

NoxImus bro you close to CT?

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks man! I haven't seen or heard the system in person. But the overall looks seem pretty decent to me!

[@ascario94]

Where did you get the tail light???

[@ascario94]

thanks man, keep the good work on the bike....

[@mishaklenncabo]

Nice Job on the install, did the pipes blue ?

[@cobaltss0720]

I almost went with the TB Y pipe, but I had some concerns about the polished pipe holding up, and not looking like carp over time. Although, I personally haven't seen any bad things about the TB Y pipe, that was just a concern of mine, and why I went with Graves. Not only that, but the Graves Y is titanium and saves some weight. Personally, I'd go with a PC5 over the juice box, more tuning capabilities. check out flash-tuneDOTcom for the ECU tuning interface. It will make a huge difference!

[@trezantrez]

Thats a beautiful bike man....

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks bro, i really appreciate it.

[@JackSparrow-mt3sn]

those pipes are gorgeous

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks man!

[@401Hoonigan]

Yeah the extra black box you saw was a canabus which will definitely help with the flickering problem.

[@r1newb]

nice bike! what tail light is that.

[@agaa8119]

Wow, beautiful bike man

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks a lot bro!

[@unjustkatana]

Thanks man, great bike by the way !

[@cobaltss0720]

The SFM can run two ways, advanced and a normal mode. Advanced will give the SFM its own table to run off of, normal will just use what the PCV maps show. Personally i have mine set up as advanced, so i do see numbers in the SFM tables.

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks man, I really appreciate it!

[@jasonneon]

that's a clean R1 man ... im about to get rid of my 636 and get a 2012 black raven R1 hopefully in 2 weeks .. how do you like the bike ?

[@cobaltss0720]

Its the motodynamic sequential smoked taillight. I love it.

[@cobaltss0720]

My buddies 2009 R1 that has a akrapovic 3/4 system is a bit quiter than mine, and not nearly as deep as far as the tone goes. Personally I like the two brothers system better than the akraprovic system. The carbon fiber does have a different pattern to it, but I do like it. I have about 1500 miles on this system and I love it, I personally recommend it to anyone that's looking at an exhaust system.

[@tylerdirden3416]

I was like damn that dudes doing it right, two brothers wit graves y, motodynamic light, PC V wit secondary, etc and then i saw who uploaded it and was like oh shit its Noximus no wonder i should of known. Seen a few of your other vids and liked em, never knew what you rode, props on doing it right im jealous. i also got some black series two brothers cans with a micron titanium Y(pretty sure its titanium, looks it) on my 07 charcoal R1.

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks bro, I really appreciate it. Post some videos of your baby :)

[@tylerdirden3416]

haha ya man thats not a bad idea, i will once i get her done. im currently fighting some/all striped and seized exup bolts. Its such a pain in the ass, im just drilling them all out and going to pull the damn stupid exup valve off and make a plate to put over it b/c im fed up at this point with it. figured id simplify things and just remove it, no exup one less thing to break right? i plan on changing both sprockets eventually so i figure i wont miss that lil extra power down low after my sprocket change anyway, its a hell of a pain in the ass though.

[@cobaltss0720]

+Tyler Dirden Fuuuuckkk I just changed out a header on a R1, where the guy bottomed out, and shoved the header through the oil pan. I was going to put the exup in the new header he bought, and had the SAME problem smh. Blocked it off, and it runs great. Took me forever to find a gearing I liked. :(

[@tylerdirden3416]

Ughhh... Really? thats what i am most worried about, spending 300 and then not liking the gearing of the sprockets i just put on and having to spend more money and more labor to essentilly guess again. What did you end up going with?

[@cobaltss0720]

Yeah you will be okay with running the PC5 with the Y pipe. The reasoning behind it is to keep the bike from leaning out too much. Hope this helps you out, take care.

[@smackthttwice]

@noximus what burn level are those headlights 6k or 8k? and how is the brightness at night ?

[@cobaltss0720]

6000k :)

[@cobaltss0720]

I know man! And yet again today its going to be 104 without the heat index. I'm ready for some good 80° weather. I hate sitting at a light, and then having the fans kick on too... Ride safe!

[@cobaltss0720]

I'll make another video now for you explaining it better.

[@ViralPatelK]

Did you install any after market tail lights? Why it is flickering at 6:05 minute? It looks cool. I am sure it's not your camera.

[@cobaltss0720]

Yeah its a Motodynamic sequential tail light. My old camera hated LEDs, and made them look like they were flickering. However, when i brake, they strobe 4 times quickly.

[@tarawally65]

Cc?

[@asmith0609]

Where did you get the silver strip under your headlights? Also, where did you get your HIDs?

[@cobaltss0720]

its OEM on the 12-14 R1.

[@cobaltss0720]

got the HIDs from DDM tuning

[@reef973]

i have a 2bros slip-on on my 2013 zx10r.......should i get a full system with the pc5 or no?

[@cobaltss0720]

Personally I didn't do the full system, because the benefits didn't out way the negatives. On my personal bike, it's about a 1-2 hp increase, but the time it takes to change the oil increases as well. Because the header gers closer to the oil filter, I'd have to remove the header every time I changed the oil.

[@reptilemadman1994]

thanks man im starting to like the two brother better tbh

[@Tyree-ud2km]

Very very sexy bike, i plan on blacking my r1 out aswell, except i wanna put toce T-slash exhaust on mine.

[@cobaltss0720]

I hear a lot of guys are happy with the toce system! :)

[@TheSoulMan11]

I got 8000k HIDs, they are perfect, day and night. Two brothers exhaust is what i got and its awesome.

[@cobaltss0720]

I just moved to 8000k HIDs as well, and I love them!

[@TheSoulMan11]

NoxImus oh yeah, talk about visibility at night lol

[@brandonbonillas5158]

Nice bike I want one

[@rubenmeister5276]

selling?

[@cobaltss0720]

Basically the tuning allows you to compensate the fuel, and timing for any changes that you made to the bike (short explanation). I'm not sure what you mean by the fuel modulator, could you explain? The light only flickers in this video, probably because of my camera. But it does strobe 5 times fast and then stays solid when the brake is hit. Thanks for the compliment man!

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks man!

[@Jack-mc1vs]

Beautiful bike man! Mine is a white 2011.. Did you happen to notice a difference in heat on your seat after you put the aftermarket Y pipe??

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks man I appreciate it. I actually didn't notice a heat increase, more of a decrease of anything. that cat held a ton of heat!

[@seanklein1971]

Clean ass bike

[@PabloAlonzo48]

Hey, great video and nasty looking R1. Maybe you can help me out with a few questions I have. What exactly does a Y pipe do other than join the mainifolds? Is the soul purpose to eliminate the catalytic converter? Is the y pipe added to create a full exhaust effect? I'm asking because I'm planing to buy a BMW s1000rr next year. I'm coming off a 2006 GSXR 1000 :) I'm not a fan of the Akra shorty evo full titanium, or yoshis r77, and Brock's just does not hit the spot. They're all great but, it seems like every s1000rr owner has them. I'm a fan of the deep sound. I found BODIS Exhaust has just what I'm looking for except they don't offer the full exhaust, just a slip on. Would stock headers and a y pipe plus the BODIS slip on be the route for me. To create that full exhaust sound. Keeping the stock cat would just be a waste I think as it does not make slip ons sound any better. Especially on the s1000's. Please any help would be amazing, thank you in advance and ride safe everyone...

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks Man! The Y pipe purpose is to eliminate the cat. With the cat eliminated you save weight, heat, and remove a little restriction in the exhaust flow. The header on the 09+ R1's are titanium from the factory and flow rather well. With that in mind, changing out the header is not really worth it for most riders. Typically a slip on and Y pipe (a 3/4 system), is good enough. hope that helps, take care!

[@BrianBoykin]

will my 2014 r1 with 2 bro slip ons sound good with stock cat? or just bang out ceramic

[@mikeplaysit]

Dude. Fuck the sound. You bang out the exhaust and shit you're going to start screwing things up with the back pressure and who knows what else. You're going to do nothing but make it louder, and chances are it's not even going to sound good at all. And worse you're pretty much guaranteed to lose power. It's not worth it bro, trust me.. Just save and wait and get something proper. Not Two Brothers or any crap like that. At least get something from Yoshi or Leo Vince. Most places who sell Leo Vince can get really good deals on it.

[@joncrennes]

Lovely!

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks man!

[@urDeash]

You seem like a really nice person... I sub'd.

[@nicosoto0525able]

Cannot wait to get my new R1 WHATS THE DIFFRENCES FROM 2009 TO 2012 MODELS

[@cobaltss0720]

Starting in 2012 they added traction control, Audi style LED accent light down the projector, different front nose cowling, different upper triple tree, and some other small changes.

[@cobaltss0720]

[@madmike5144]

Murr murr very nice sound :)

[@cobaltss0720]

lol thanks man!

[@bigkev718]

I'm trying to figure out what 3/4 setup i am going to run on my 2013. I don't see anybody talk about power gains from any of the slip ons. If the gains are no different between all the slip ons then i'll only focus on look and sound. Could you chime in and help a brother out please lol?

[@cobaltss0720]

Hey man, sorry about the late response. Personally in my book, the top three are, Graves, Akraprovic, and Yoshimura. These companies have done tons of research and have developed a lot of great parts for the R1s.

[@bigkev718]

Thanks for the reply dude....still tryna figure it out...but i think that i'm just splitting hairs and i'm trying to get an answer that is impossible to attain.

[@cobaltss0720]

bigkev718 think about it this way bro. Graves is the dedicated performance research and production company of the top AMA riders. Also, Akraprovic makes the motogp exhausts. These two companies have by far the best performing system. Graves probably a bit more, they're more in depth with engine work and other things.

[@bigkev718]

NoxImus I'm on the fence, i just love the look of that toce and the more and more i hear is that the hp differences in each are maybe 1-2 hp. I might do the graves no cat mid pipe to the toce slip on.

[@filipekmr]

Nice bike :)

[@600RReasons]

Im not hating on the exhaust cause I use the same one , but why the power kit ?

[@cobaltss0720]

I'm not sure what you mean? The PCV, SFM, and Auto tune it to dial in the fueling. Pretty much to get the most out of the bike.

[@600RReasons]

yea but do you use on the track ?

[@KelsS1k]

idk man i kinda like alil color on my bike, someone near me is selling one for 5k but its blacked out

[@cedriqueg32]

I'm watching this at 3:30 a.m. Like where is the exhaust hahahaha I like the info though

[@erickfaizal8435]

Talk less exhaust more

[@jasonneon]

no problem . nice mod's . it's all good man and i don't think im near by you im in brooklyn ny lol

[@TheUnrah]

Belo som!

[@cobaltss0720]

Thanks! not sure if this is a compliment, or an attempt at a troll. But i'll take it, sir.

[@NOORYOUNIS]

Your graves definitely sounds better

[@cobaltss0720]

I agree man

[@Witness2282]

I consider myself pretty tech savvy..but all the stuff you were talking about sounded like it was Chinese. I'm sure if I actually had hands on with a PCV and all that other stuff I would figure it out...but since I've never played with one I'm kinda lost. On another note, the bike sounds great...hopefully you'll be able to correct that backfire problem but it still sounds sweet regardless.

[@bnx17]

Hai bro, how much the price for the grave 'y'.??

[@cobaltss0720]

Thinking paid right about 250, off of motomummy.com

[@bnx17]

They can shipping to malaysia.?? I'll cheked 1st broo.. Tq for the info :) nice sound anyway

[@morominaolenmina]

nice..

[@Nick-dl7ro]

um sick um bike um very um uh... nice bike :p

[@MrTzinius]

if you don't want to shake your camera touch it in your chin cause your head always is stable... ;)

[@_trashcan_]

Without the heat shield, do the exhausts ever burn your chick sitting on the back? :D

[@cobaltss0720]

Nope it doesn't at all!

[@_trashcan_]

NoxImus Doesnt it get hot?

[@birdthaword7507]

The carbon fiber doesn't get that hot I have a two brothers carbon fiber exhaust I touch that shit all the time just to see!

[@MitEclipse91]

man i love the look of the 09+ (I own a 08) BUT I don't care what exhaust you put on it... it sounds like shit.... sounds like a Honda 400ex going by... I really wish they woulda kept the same engine from the 07 08.. :(

[@MegaTechpc]

Its a love/hate kinda deal. I personally love the sound this cross plane engine makes and I would wager that the vast majority of people who bought an R1 did so in large part because of the unique and incredible sound it makes....

[@CiCiSoFunny]

The video say exhaust but this dude is ranting on and on about hids and power commanders??

[@KeithFox]

+The Notorious Joe WHIPS! Yeah. Drastic exhaust changes the whole compression and that's why it backfires. It's good info.

[@Benjay1975]

now im dizzy

[@johnsonkoni8331]

ride it to school..................yeah..haha

[@mikeplaysit]

Two Brothers......... I bet anything you're losing power. I made that same mistake when I got my first bike. Went with a Two Bros slip on and a Power Commander and some K&N filter. I should have just left it the hell alone. A PC is really usually only going to take advantage of a full exhaust system. If anything I would bet that the PC you have on your bike is simply making up the power that Two Bros kit is robbing from you.

[@mikeplaysit]

greeek777 Well of course if you tune the bike to compensate for having the freer flowing exhaust it's possible to make power. I'm just saying that in general, newer riders and squids will buy TwoBros because they're cheap, flashy and loud. And that's all they care about. If you do the rest that's fine. But at the same time, if someone's going to go all out and dyno tune the bike and make all the other necessary adjustments and changes, why go with TwoBros rather than a proven, quality full system. Akrapovic is good as hell but expensive. LeoVince are great and a lot cheaper. Especially if you go to the right place that is able to get them for a steal....

[@mikeplaysit]

greeek777 I like the Crossplane models. When I got mine, I should have waited SLIGHTLY longer, because the very next year they came out with the crossplane crank.

[@cobaltss0720]

Mike, you're correct. Graves does offer a better product and more power, than what two brothers does. Why? Because graves works with yamaha directly for their race teams. Also, they work with yamahas satellite teams.

[@terrencemurray3803]

LIL LOW ON OIL

[@cobaltss0720]

you want to check the oil as the bike is running, and upright. Should have been pretty close to right on. I don't know for sure though, it was about 2 years ago :/

[@cobaltss0720]

LOL

[@repmykicks22]

Ummmm
