Akrapovic have just launched exhaust options for Kawasaki’s latest variant of their flagship Superbike the 2006 ZX-10R. The range will comprise of road legal and race Bolt on kits, stainless steel race systems and full titanium Evolution race systems. Full Race systems (stainless & titanium) will boost peak power by over 7bhp over standard with a large gain in torque between 6,000 > 9,000 rpm.
The Akrapovic Racing or Evolution system with the HEXAGONAL design muffler goes extremely well with the bold design of the Kawasaki. And of course in addition to visual enhancement, these systems also offer a substantial performance boost. In keeping with the character of the bike, these systems were designed for riders who know how to get the most out of their machines. The Street Legal version of these systems comes with noise dampers, and conform to regulations for street use. Catalytic converters are also available.
PerformancePower & Torque: as can be seen, the system delivers a major performance increase. The location of the increase fits the character of the bike, starting in the middle of the range and reaching to the top end, right where racing conditions demand it. At 12000 rpm the Kawasaki put out a huge 170 HP with our system. Max. increased power was a massive 7.2 HP at 12300 rpm.
ConfigurationThe Racing and Evolution systems differ only in their selection of tubing materials. The Racing uses stainless steel, and the Evolution titanium. The header tubes for both systems are made using the hydroforming process, the collectors are cylindrical and the Y link pipe is conical. Additional cylindrical link pipes are welded to both mufflers. All of the components of the system are connected with sleeve joints held together using silicon-shielded springs. The system also includes fittings for attaching three lambda sensors. The mufflers are the HEXAGONAL design, which look great with the sleek back end and under-the-seat location. The muffler for the Racing system has stainless steel welded on link pipes, and stainless steel inlet caps and perforated inner sleeves. The Evolution system has titanium link pipes, and titanium.
The inlet caps and perforated inner sleeves. The outlet caps are made of carbon-fiber for both systems. The outer sleeves are available in either titanium or carbon-fiber. The mufflers are attached to the frame using Akrapovic carbon-fiber clamps. The Street Legal version includes approved noise dampers, and therefore conforms to all regulations for street use. The systems are also available with catalytic converters.
