Features:

• Hydroformed Muffler
  • This is the first of a new generation RS-12 profile exhaust system featuring weight reducing hydroformed technology. This technology maximizes available space for a tailored fit while minimizing material usage. Hydroforming removes many of the limitations of conventional metal forming methods creating a stronger and lighter muffler. This new sleeve also incorporates a deep draw one-piece resonator further improving durability.
• Hydroformed Header Primary
  • Improved performance due to exact matching of the oval exhaust port, with a smooth internal transition from oval to round. Increased durability from a reduction in welded connections. Improved fit from the exact repeatability of the hydroforming process.
• Carbon Faced Machined Joint
  • The new Carbon Faced Machined Joint no longer requires the use of anti-seize. This is accomplished by impregnating the surface of the stainless steel joint with carbon atoms. The result is a reduction in wear over the life of the joint by reducing friction.
• Header Resonator
  • Developed in cooperation with the Honda HRC Team, this header resonator isn't just there for looks, it delivers maximize power across the spectrum, while enhancing rider connectivity.
• Cast Manifold
