Stylish, affordable and lightweight are features that come to mind when
describing the new GP-1 line of Slip-On Exhaust products. Installation is a
breeze, requiring at the most a couple of wrenches and a screwdriver. The
06-08 Yamaha R6 Slip-On Exhaust system has aluminum tubing and a laser etched GP-1 logo.
Beginning with the 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! |
