A complete aftermarket exhaust configuration for a specific model year and displacement motorcycle replaces the entire factory exhaust, from the engine’s exhaust ports to the tailpipe. This differs from a slip-on exhaust, which only replaces the muffler section. These systems are designed to optimize exhaust gas flow, potentially improving engine performance.
Upgrading the motorcycles original exhaust with a complete aftermarket assembly can yield several advantages. Potential improvements include increased horsepower and torque, reduced weight, and a modified exhaust note. The design and materials used in these systems often enhance heat dissipation, which can positively impact engine longevity, especially in performance applications.
