Racing Line Exhaust System - Carbon Fiber - Suzuki GSX-8S & GSX-8R
The AKRAPOVIC Racing Line Exhaust System for Suzuki GSX-8S and GSX-8R is engineered with lightweight, race-proven materials to enhance both performance and aesthetics. Constructed with a carbon-fiber outer sleeve, heatshield, and clamp, along with a titanium end cap and stainless-steel header, resonator, and link pipe, this exhaust system offers a significant weight reduction of approximately 39.6% (about 7 pounds) compared to the stock setup. The black-coated aluminum muffler bracket adds durability and a sleek visual appeal. The exhaust's alternate routing places it on the right side of the motorcycle, providing a more aggressive, racing-inspired appearance compared to the standard under-bike routing. The carbon-fiber heatshield not only adds a stylish touch but also provides effective heat protection for the rider and surrounding components.
Performance improvements are notable, with tested gains of 4.7 kW (6.4 horsepower) at 9,200 rpm and 4.7 Nm (about 3.5 lb-ft) of torque at 7,650 rpm, delivering enhanced acceleration and overall engine responsiveness. The inclusion of a resonator in the link pipe gives the exhaust a distinctive, vivid sound that balances a racing tone with refined acoustics, ensuring an exhilarating riding experience without sacrificing performance. Compatibility with the original Suzuki soft side cases makes this system a practical upgrade for riders seeking increased power and a sportier aesthetic, all while maintaining convenience and functionality.
Designed for enthusiasts who demand high performance and a lightweight setup, the AKRAPOVIC Racing Line Exhaust System integrates seamlessly with the Suzuki GSX-8S and GSX-8R, providing a substantial upgrade over the stock exhaust. Its advanced materials and engineering deliver both a striking visual impact and tangible performance benefits, making it a top choice for riders aiming to elevate their motorcycle's capabilities and style.
