AKRAPOVIC S-K5SO1-HRT Slip-On Line (Titanium) for KAWASAKI Ninja 500 / Z500 2024-

This is a newly designed titanium muffler with an imprinted finish for additional strength and durability. A weight saving of 32% (1.3 kg) over the standard stock system, a deep sound, throttle response, and aesthetics are all aspects the engineers focused on in the development process. It is constructed with a high-grade titanium muffler outer sleeve and finished with a carbon-fibre end cap and high-grade stainless-steel link pipe, muffler inner structure, and heat shield. A power increase of 0.3 kW (0.4 hp) at 8,750 rpm and a torque rise of 0.3 Nm at 5,000 rpm have been recorded when compared with a standard stock exhaust and tested on the Akrapovič dyno. Plug-and-play installation means no remapping is necessary. It meets EC/ECE type-approval certificate - Euro5+, the new regulation from 2024 onward. The previous regulation, Euro5, was valid until 31 December 2023.

For a further upgrade of the Slip-On Line (Titanium), a carbon-fibre heat shield is available as an optional extra, as is a header for riders looking for more power gains and racing tones. Installation of the header will invalidate the EC/ECE type approval for the Slip-On Line (Titanium).
