Yoshimura RS-12 Exhaust System Kawasaki KX450 2024-2026

Yoshimura RS-12 Exhaust System Kawasaki KX450

The 2024 Kawasaki KX450 has undergone a ton of changes, one of them being an all-new exhaust system. Yoshimura was eager to develop the best aftermarket exhaust system possible for the new Green Machine. Working with multi-time GNCC off-road Champion Steward Baylor they were able to squeeze every ounce of performance from the new KX.

Performance gains are massive with the RS-12 Signature Series system, adding a whopping 6.4% max hp and an incredible 13.8% max torque. With gains like this some would think that the new KX would be hard to control, not the case. With the help of the Yoshimura hydroformed oval header, their development team has made the power delivery much smoother than stock.

Features:

• Aggressive, intelligently designed, asymmetrical shape of the RS-12 allows for maximum muffler volume which helps manage sound, add power and provide more clearance for the rear tire and brake caliper
• Improved performance gains and weight reduction
• Just like the works systems Factory Racers use, RS-12 systems utilize precision machined joints which provide a superior fit and improve system life and performance
• Works-look matte carbon fiber end cap with industry leading design
• Carbon end cap covers inner cap mounted design which improves durability and eases servicing as compared to other sandwich mounting designs
• New patent pending Precision Taper Fit (PTF) insert ring makes it easy to install and remove sound inserts and spark arrestors
• Tapered muffler body inlet design of the RS-12 enables the system to be pushed forward thus helping with weight centralization without sacrificing performance
• Adds 5% max hp and 6.5% max torque
• Optional spark arrestor SA-21-K available separately
• Proudly designed, developed and made in the USA
