Exhaust
A motorcycle's exhaust system is more than just a component for directing emissions; it plays a crucial role in engine performance, sound, and overall aesthetics. Whether you're upgrading for better performance, a custom look, or a distinct exhaust note, understanding the types of exhaust options available, including slip-on mufflers, full systems, link pipes, header pipes, and expansion chambers, is essential.
Slip-on mufflers are a popular choice for riders looking to enhance their bike's sound and appearance without a full system upgrade. These mufflers are easy to install, cost-effective, and offer noticeable improvements in sound and weight reduction while maintaining compatibility with your stock exhaust system.
Full exhaust systems replace the entire stock system, including the headers and mufflers, and are ideal for riders seeking maximum performance gains. These systems improve exhaust flow, reduce weight, and can significantly increase horsepower and torque. Full systems are available for both road and motocross (MX) bikes, allowing you to optimise performance based on your riding style and terrain.
Link and header pipes are critical for connecting and improving the efficiency of your exhaust system. Upgrading to high-quality link pipes and headers can enhance airflow, improve throttle response, and reduce overall system weight. These upgrades are a great option for riders who want better performance without committing to a full system replacement.
Expansion chambers, commonly used on two-stroke engines, are designed to maximise power output and efficiency. These specially shaped chambers improve exhaust scavenging, delivering better torque and acceleration, making them a favourite for motocross and off-road riders.
