How to Tune Your Motorcycle Exhaust for Optimal Performance

A motorcycle’s exhaust system transports burnt gases, modifies sounds, and increases performance. A new exhaust system can add power, lower weight, and enhance the look of your bike.

A full exhaust system offers maximum performance gains while a slip-on muffler is a more affordable upgrade. MotoSport carries both types from top brands. Check out more at Motorcycle exhaust deals.

Bassani

Bassani has a reputation for quality and craftsmanship. Their exhaust systems are crafted from stainless steel, and the components are precision-engineered to provide optimal performance. They also feature a unique X-pipe design that allows for optimal ground clearance. This allows for increased fuel economy and added power.

The aluminized system is best suited for use in warm climates where the exhaust will not be exposed to rain, snow, or road salt. This will prevent corrosion of the mufflers and other parts of the exhaust. Bassani offers a full line of products designed to fit your Victory or Indian motorcycle. They are available in a variety of styles and are made from high-quality materials.

Bassani grew up in the university city of Ferrara, where his family has lived for generations. He draws on that heritage in his fiction, particularly the saga of the city’s Jewish community—which includes The Gold-Rimmed Spectacles and Behind the Door—and its medieval walls and streets that separated one social group from another.

Akrapovic

The Akrapovic brand is synonymous with high quality, lightweight exhaust systems. It is a company founded by Igor Akrapovic, a former racer who earned multiple championship titles during his ten-year racing career. He realized that the heavy hunks of metal that were being used as exhausts could be made much lighter, stronger and more durable.

His systems are made with titanium and carbon fiber to achieve maximum lightness and durability. It is a top manufacturer in MotoGP, supplying Honda, Kawasaki and Aprilia’s factory teams. MotoSport carries their full exhaust system and slip-ons.

The Slovenian-based company was established in 1990, specializing exclusively in motorcycle exhausts. They now operate out of a state-of-the-art facility that is a far cry from the small workshop they started in. Despite that, they are still making exhausts for the majority of two-wheeled manufacturers and have won more than 100 world championships to date (Jorge Lorenzo’s 2015 MotoGP title was aboard a bike with an Akrapovic system). Each system is tested for optimal power increases and weight savings.

Brock’s Performance

Brock’s Performance offers several “Ultra Mod” kits designed to lock or completely replace the OEM two-piece clutch plates (also known as a back-torque limiter). The kit is 60% lighter than the factory components it replaces, making for a much smoother dead stop launch. It also increases the OEM spring pressure by a precise amount to match the engine/application, ensuring optimum performance.

The patented Alien Head 2 exhaust system is world renowned for its cutting edge power and design. It combines proprietary head pipe design with drag racing experience to extract maximum power. This ultra-light stainless steel full system is ideal for the loyal Busa owner who demands no-nonsense performance.

The CT Series is a full titanium system that combines incalculable hours of engineering/design work and real world performance testing. The system is extremely light, weighing just 9.90 lbs, and has welds that look like works of art. It is a great choice for weekend drag racers who demand the most in power readings and ground clearance.

MotoSport

Motosport is a retailer of bikes, dirt bike, street and ATV parts, riding gear, tools, accessories, riding apparel and helmets. It also offers maintenance and repair services. The company serves customers worldwide. Its products include original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, tires and riding gear.

The company sells a variety of motorcycle exhaust systems. A full exhaust upgrade tends to provide high-end power while a slip-on exhaust popular with the sport bike crowd increases lower-end power, enabling a quick jump from a stopped position. MotoSport carries full exhaust upgrades and slip-ons from the top name brands.

MotoSport also carries dirt bike and motocross boots from the best manufacturers like Alpinestars, Fox Racing, Gaerne, Sidi and Fly Racing. Its collection of street and cruiser gloves, shirts, pants and jackets is comprehensive and competitively priced.
