ITALIAN exhaust manufacturer SC-Project's research and development department has used its technologies developed for the Yamaha Forward Racing MotoGP Team to create a high performance exhaust system for the new 2015 YZF-R1 and M models.
The new system, which utilises titanium and carbon fibre in its construction, is built around a CR-T silencer that is TIG welded to full titanium conical joints. The central collector pipes are longer than stock and were developed in MotoGP. There are housings for the two original lambda sensors, but the catalytic convertor is eliminated.
The use of CNC machined titanium means SC-Project are able to claim a 5.5kg weight reduction over stock. The semi-full system is designed for race use, so is not road legal and needs an aftermarket fuel controller to gain the full performance benefits, which the company describe as "impressive increase in power, also in the mid-range and torque".
