NEW PRODUCTS Jun~ Spin, Bro Two Brothers Racing is offering a new twist on the carbon-fiber exhaust-canister theme with its Filament Wound Carbon Fiber Muffler for the all-new VFR800 Interceptor. Rather than beginning with the standard woven sheet of composite material laid around a mold, the filament-wound cani ier is made by spinning a cylinder at high speed and introducing a very thin carbon-fiber element. The result is a seamless - as well as stronger and more heat-resistant, says Two Brothers - exhaust canister with a unique diamond-shape, exterior weave pattern for extra eye-appeal. VFR800 slip-on and full exhaust systems start at $309. For more information, contact Two Brothers Racing, Dept. CN, 1715 E.
