Best exhaust for zx-10r?
1 - 20 of 25 Posts
I am thinking of putting the Akra EVO in CF on my 10R...However, before I do that, I will do my suspension first. Doing suspension and the exhaust are close in price and after having a bike that was decked out suspension wise, I will always do it before exhaust which I would do last. Suspension will make you faster before the exhaust will.
Boz Moira is supposed to be obnoxiously loud and it gives the bike a MotoGP look. I like the way it looks but am not keen on my bike being too loud that it is annoying.
Got pics of your bike? Welcome BTW.
I know what you mean man, you're one of the few to admit it! I must say I am borderline with my LeoVince... especially riding in town, tunnels, or next to cliff-faces in the canyons. It's just ridiculously loud. In fact when I am riding through small towns I will always ride one or 2 gears higher than I need just to keep the db down in case the cops are around...
I wouldn't change it for anything in the world, but I wish there was a volume button on that thing :biggrin:
It is really loud that is one thing. Go to zx-10r.net and do a search.

I just installed a low exit, right side Roaring Toyz exhaust on my 07 ZX10R and it sounds good. It is advertised at 115 dbA. Using the baffles redusces the sound level 3-5 db. You can refer to this thread http://www.kawasakimotorcycle.org/forum/kawasaki-streetbikes-sportbikes/60118-zx10r-exhaust-pics.html
I can provide you with contact info if you are interested. Price is just under $550 including shipping. A power commander is recommended for best performance. I will eventually put one on, but for now, it ran fine on my initial trial run. It was 35 degrees so it was a short run.

Tim you think that thing can be ceramic coated black? I ceramic coated my headers on my old 636 and if I get a GP style exhaust I wonder if I ceramic coat the exhaust if it can handle the heat. Ceramic coating can handle over 1500 degrees so I guess it could. What is the material on that exhaust and how light is it?
I hate black but I might as well black and silver this bike out.

Hey Erv,
The exhaust is polished stainless steel, shipping weight was 5.2 pounds so it is pretty light. I would bet you could coat it, I had ceramic coated headers on a pro street car I built and it can handle some serious heat. Here is a link to the ZX10R 06-07 page. Check out all the bling they have for our bikes. I am going to post a sound clip tonight, so stay tuned.

The more I see it, the more I like that exhaust. The PC III is something I did not want to get though...So in the end I guess I still will be spending a lot of money. Let me know if that effects you gas mileage if it does at all.

OK guys and gals,
Here is the new exhaust system. CAUTION, this is a windows media player AVI file, it take a while to load so be patient. Crank that volume knob up and hear it scream.............LOL

If you look toward the end, I just noticed a flame shoot out when I back off after that last rev.

I'd rather speed past a cop having my stock exhaust on than announce my coming half a mile away so he can be ready for me.
