Upgrade the exhaust performance and appearance of your motorcycle with the Akrapovic Slip-On Line titanium muffler, manufacturer part number S-K5SO1-HRT and vendor part number S-K5SO1-HRT. Designed for Kawasaki Ninja 500 and Z500 models, this premium slip-on system delivers a deeper, more engaging exhaust note while enhancing throttle response and reducing overall exhaust weight. The titanium muffler features an imprinted finish that improves strength and durability for dependable use on the street or during spirited riding.
The Akrapovic system is constructed with a high-grade titanium muffler outer sleeve, carbon-fiber end cap, and high-grade stainless-steel link pipe, inner muffler structure, and heat shield. This combination provides a durable, lightweight design with a refined appearance that complements the motorcycle’s factory styling. Compared with the standard stock exhaust, the system reduces weight by 32%, or approximately 2.9 pounds, helping support more responsive handling and a sportier riding experience.
Performance development was validated on the Akrapovic dyno, where testing recorded an increase of approximately 0.4 horsepower at 8,750 rpm and a torque gain of approximately 0.22 lb-ft at 5,000 rpm compared with the standard exhaust. The plug-and-play installation is designed for straightforward fitment and does not require ECU remapping, making this a practical upgrade for riders seeking improved sound, performance, and finish without extensive modifications. Confirm model-year compatibility before installation to ensure proper fitment for your Kawasaki Ninja 500 or Z500.
