| Stylish, affordable and lightweight are features that come to mind when describing the new Jardine GP1 line of slip-on exhaust products. Installation is a breeze, requiring at the most a couple of wrenches and a screwdriver. The 2011 Kawasaki ZX10R GP1 slip-on exhaust system is stainless tubing with a laser etched GP1 logo and is available with a brushed stainless steel, polished stainless steel or black ceramic coated finish. Beginning with the Jardine design team, they use Solid Works computer imaging as a baseline. The R&D team takes over from there to build a prototype. It then moves on to the Dyno Cell where technicians continually modify the prototype, run after run, until they're satisfied with the horsepower and torque increase. After the smoke clears, machinists go to work crafting tooling and fixtures to assure exact fitment of the production parts. Only then, does it move into the manufacturing facility where high tech CMM and Vector Infrared Tracer machines copy prototypes to NASA type specs. Automated punch presses, CNC tube cutters and benders efficiently create the tubes. Robotic arms plasma cut shapes and weld components together in one fluid motion from precisely written computer programs and fixtures, right along side their human counter parts. Get the most out of your bike with a Jardine exhaust! |
