Akrapovic Slip-On Exhaust - Honda RC51
The Akrapovic SLIP-ON system is a parallel line to the Bolt-on series and is based on a simple replacement of the stock muffler together with the link pipe. The rest of the stock system remains untouched. The system is developed and fine-tuned for each specific model of motorcycle, and is the last step before a serious tune-up involving the replacement of the entire exhaust system.
The SLIP-ON system is not designed for extreme high performance, but is intended for the customer to whom aural and visual enhancement is more important than setting the quickest lap times. This system produces a much richer and deeper sound than the quite restrictive stock exhaust. The SLIP-ON system will give your bike a completely new aesthetic effect. The oval-section muffler, available in either titanium or carbon-fiber outer sleeve, will accentuate the beauty of the lines of your bike, and the logo on the muffler will be a constant affirmation of your discerning taste.
Of course performance has not been forgotten. Your motor's potentials will be awakened; the designs for this system come from the same department which designs the racing versions of Akrapovic exhaust systems. In addition, due to the use of high-tech materials, you will gain weight savings and improve the overall characteristics of your bike.The Honda VTR SP 1 was developed as a direct response to the Italian competition in the World SBK Championship. Therefore the bike has an exceptionally high racing pedigree, which is roundly confirmed by its numerous successes on the racetrack. However, despite its primarily racing orientation, many riders choose to use it for everyday riding.
GOAL
Every rider wants to improve his machine, even recreational riders. And since we understand motorcyclists, we have developed an exhaust system which allows lovers of this beautiful Japanese twin to upgrade the look, sound and performance of their bike with an essentially simple modification.
ABOUT AKRAPOVIC SLIP-ON SYSTEM
The Akrapovic SLIP-ON system often appears as the first phase of tuning a motorcycle. Its simple design makes it highly suited to riders who prefer a smooth, relaxed, less racing-oriented riding style. The SLIP-ON system is composed of essentially two main parts: a link pipe and a muffler. Of course, with the Honda VTR SP 1, everything has to be multiplied by two, as the Honda twin also has a twin exhaust. In addition to the two link pipes and two mufflers, the complete Akrapovic SLIP-ON system for the Honda VTR SP 1 includes compression springs, two carbon-fiber muffler clamps and two additional metal clamps with metal loops for attaching the springs.
The link pipes are conical, and made of high-quality stainless steel. As an additional option, the link pipes are also available in titanium. The advantage of titanium is in the extra weight savings and the look of the metal, while stainless steel offers greater durability. The choice of the material does not affect the overall performance of the system. We'll leave it to you to decide which one is right for you!
The Akrapovic oval mufflers complement the elegance of the Honda exceptionally well. Both sides of your bike will be adorned with either the popular black shine of carbon-fiber or the refined satin sheen of titanium. Once again, the choice is yours to make. There is no difference in performance or the tone of the sound; the choice is purely aesthetic.
The world renowned logo with the red scorpion is a further aesthetic element, and further proof of your refined taste. It is a clear sign that you value top-quality products which leave no room for disappointment. Regardless of the material selected, both mufflers are mounted in the standard position with our renowned carbon-fiber clamps, which means that the stock chassis hanging brackets are used.
The connections between the muffler and the link pipes and the link pipes and the stock header assembly are floating connections secured with high-quality silicon-shielded springs.
The parameter which interests the majority of riders is of course the sound of the exhaust system. Despite the minimal amount of modification, the sound of the Akrapovic SLIP-ON system will turn a lot of heads and will clearly show the racing nature of the twin cylinder engine of your Honda VTR SP 1.
Measured performance of the Akrapovic SLIP-ON system for the Honda VTR SP-1:
POWER
can such a minor modification really affect the engine's power output? You bet it can. With the Akrapovic SLIP-ON system, power is increased throughout the entire rpm range, especially in the lower and middle range, with a slight increase at the top of the range as well. If you require more power at the top of the range, you should check out some of our other systems which are intended for the racetrack.
TORQUE
the increase in torque throughout the entire rpm range will make it easier to shift, giving you lots of power on demand without having to wind the motor at excessively high revs. This is the purpose for which the Akrapovic SLIP-ON system was designed.
If you do not wish to make any serious modification to your machine, the Akrapovic SLIP-ON system is an excellent combination of aesthetic enhancement, exceptionally high quality, a renowned brand name, significant weight savings, recognizable sound and a considerable improvement in performance. And all at an exceptionally affordable price.
