A beautiful result with a simple procedure using tensioning springs.
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.
Components
The Slip-on system follows a similar principle to the Bolt-on system. Here as well we have attempted to approximate the racing feeling with the help of a simple and straightforward installation procedure.
The Slip-on system produces a much richer and deeper sound than the quite restrictive stock exhaust. And it will completely change the look of your bike. Muffler shape is oval.

The kit includes high quality silicon-shielded tempered springs. If called for in the design also a carbon-fiber protective heat shield.
| The entire inlet cap is made from titanium - in contrast to the majority of exhaust system manufacturers. The joint is milled on a state-of-the-art CNC machine and welded in to the cap. In this way we obtain an exceptionally accurate connection within tolerance levels which yield both lower material consumption and less chance of damage to the connection due to vibration while the motorcycle is operating. | The muffler clamp is made of carbon-fiber, which is light weight, compact, resistant to high temperatures etc. | The perforated inner tube is made from titanium - in contrast to the majority of exhaust system manufacturers. |

The outer sleeve is available in either titanium or carbon-fiber. The performance of the exhaust system is not affected, the difference is only in the look and character of the material. | The muffler outlet cap is made from titanium - in contrast to the majority of exhaust system manufacturers. | Some models come with a carbon-fiber heat shield. | For some models a titanium link pipe (left) is available as an option (if the link pipe and muffler are integrated, the link pipe is always titanium). |

Some models come with a metal clamp which is used to attach the link pipe to the header assembly. | Some models available in Street Legal version (top) and some also in more affordable SP SERIES (bottom). | Repair kits are available for all models. | The muffler is oval shaped and in most cases identical to those used by WSS & WSB teams. |
