Italian performance exhaust specialist SC-Project has a new model-specific line for the KTM 790 Duke that is said to make the most of the bike’s “incredible mix between the lightness of its frame and the hard-hitting punch of the LC8c parallel twin motor - a real weapon in the corners”.
Developed in-house by the race-proven SC-Project R&D Department, it is a complete line of slip-ons that runs from Euro 4 approved street mufflers to racing cans, replacing the stainless steel original muffler.
Designed for “real riders who demand lightness, performance and the full-bodied sound and racing look that every rider desires”, the easy to install high-tech, high-quality materials slip-on line is said to deliver “more power, more torque and less weight - with no remapping required”.
The “innovative” TIG welded SC1-R, a “benchmark for the Superbike World Championship”, is available in titanium or carbon fibre body versions. “The asymmetric and clean shape, together with the matt carbon fibre end cap, recalls the sporting spirit of the SC1-R, confirming it as the ideal muffler for the latest sports bikes. Sound-absorbing material withstands the very high temperatures and racing exhaust gas pressures, and the titanium insert bushings are CNC-machined from solid to guarantee the seals”.
A weight saving of approximately 1.1 kg means increased power and torque; the muffler is Euro 4 approved.
For race use only, the TIG welded S1 and S1-GP mufflers are available in titanium with a matt carbon fibre end cap (S1). “They fuse a racing style with top-end technical solutions such as TIG welded bracket and fitting and one-piece CNC-machined titanium insert bushings”.
The tapered body, “together with the diameter of the output and the top-grade internal soundproofing gives the bike a dark and unmistakable sound; a weight reduction of 1.9 kg (S1) and 2.2 kg (S1-GP) means increased performance, making the KTM a real ‘Ready to Race’ weapon”.
