The Akrapovič company is a leader in the design of exhaust systems for motorcycles and sports cars. Their Kawasaki ZX10 Evolution model represents an important turning point in the company’s development. The model’s advantage over the original exhaust system is its 10 percent increase in engine power while weighing in 60 percent lighter thanks to the use of titanium as a construction material. The company’s Hydroforming process has made possible a new pointed hexagonal shape for the muffler as well as the production of new bends in the pipes, which were developed for optimising the flow of exhaust fumes. The system was designed for racing purposes, but a similar European road version is also available. // Photo: Akrapovič, d.d.
