Akrapovič Slip-On Line (Titanium) Kawasaki Ninja 500 / Z500

This is a newly designed titanium muffler with an imprinted finish for additional strength and durability. A weight saving of 32% (1. 3 kg) over the standard stock system, a deep sound, throttle response, and aesthetics are all aspects the engineers focused on in the development process. It is constructed with a high-grade titanium muffler outer sleeve and finished with a carbon-fibre end cap and high-grade stainless-steel link pipe, muffler inner structure, and heat shield. A power increase of 0. 3 kW (0. 4 hp) at 8,750 rpm and a torque rise of 0. 3 Nm at 5,000 rpm have been recorded when compared with a standard stock exhaust and tested on the Akrapovič dyno. Plug-and-play installation means no remapping is necessary. It meets EC/ECE type-approval certificate - Euro 5+, the new regulation from 2024 onward. The previous regulation, Euro 5, was valid until 31 December 2023. For a further upgrade of the Slip-On Line (Titanium), a carbon-fibre heat shield is available as an optional extra, as is a header for riders looking for more power gains and racing tones. Installation of the header will invalidate the EC/ECE type approval for the Slip-On Line (Titanium).
