RACING & EVOLUTION EXHAUST SYSTEM
KAWASAKI ZZR 1400 (2008 - 2009)
DESCRIPTION
RACING & EVOLUTION EXHAUST SYSTEM
The Akrapovic RACING OPEN & EVOLUTION OPEN line is the highest level of exhaust
systems tuning and with hexagonal shaped muffler fits perfectly to character of the
superfast ZZR 1400. The conical tubing with interference crossover tubes between the
header tubes work exceptionally well. With the Akrapovic exhaust system you will get
massive power boost, more torque, a sportier sound and an even more aggressive
top-level look on this muscular motorcycle. You can choose between classy titanium
or carbon-fiber muffler that stand out through their excellent quality. The systems are
available in open version only. You will also save in overall weight compared to stock
system.
PERFORMANCE
Measurements of the Akrapovic RACING OPEN & EVOLUTION OPEN system on the Kawasaki ZZR 1400 (without muffler insert):
The power curve shows a huge increase over the stock performance figures. It is much more
linear, which means the engine is pulling strong and consistently right from the lowest rpm to
the highest part of the overrev range. We measured a max. power output on rear wheel of
183.4 HP and maximum increased power of 10.2 HP at 6800 rpm.
The same goes for torque, which is also increased through entire rpm range. The drop-outs
in the stock curve are filled and like the power curve, there is a major increase from 2000 rpm
on.
