2005-2006 Kawasaki ZX6R / RR Hexagonal Slip-On Exhaust System by Akrapovic
The ZX6R/RR, Kawasaki’s Supersport speedster in the 600 class, is definitely a
head-turner. To improve its sleek looks even further, Akrapovic has developed a SLIP-ON system which fits smoothly into the bold lines of the Kawasaki. The
Akrapovic SLIP-ON system is designed for riders who are looking for an excellent combination of aesthetics, quality, price and of course a performance
enhancement. The Akrapovic SLIP-ON systems for both the ZX6R 636 and the ZX6RR are identical.
The Akrapovic SLIP-ON system is visually totally different from what we have
been used to up to now. The major difference is the ‘double’ outlet cap. The
interior is made of stainless steel as are the inlet cap and inner
perforation and the carbon-fiber outlet cap cover gives the system a stylish
racing look. The system also includes a cylindrical stainless steel link
pipe connected to the muffler with a sleeve joint secured with
silicon-shielded tensioning springs. At the other end the link pipe is
attached to the stock link pipe with a sleeve joint which is secured with a
metal clamp. The muffler is available only with a titanium outer sleeve. It
is attached to the frame with a special Akrapovic carbon-fiber clamp. The
kit also contains a mandatory Akrapovic stainless steel bracket for the rear
light harness. Since the system conforms to all noise level requirements, it
does not include a built in exhaust valve.
Power & Torque:The
system works exceptionally well with the Kawasaki engine as shown by both
the power and torque curves. The power curve follows the stock curve up to
around 6000 rpm, and then shows an increase which extends right into the
overrev range. The ZX6R 636 receives 118.5 HP at 13850 rpm, while the ZX
6RR, which is more race-oriented, puts out 115.4 HP at 14250 rpm. The torque
curve is increased throughout the entire rpm range.
