SC PROJECT METAL BLACK MUFFLER, STAINLESS STEEL, WITH BLACK & SILVER PAINTED CNC ALUMINUM END CAP FOR SUZUKI KATANA
The Suzuki Katana is a striking fusion of heritage and modern sc-project-metal…or-suzuki-katana/ performance. Inspired by the iconic 1980s original, the 2019–2020 Katana blends bold retro styling with the heart of a GSX-R1000. It’s sleek, sharp, and unmistakably Japanese—but like many stock motorcycles, it ships with a conservative exhaust that doesn’t fully match its visual punch or power potential.
Enter the SC-Project Metal Black Muffler, crafted from stainless steel and topped with a two-tone black & silver painted CNC-machined aluminum end cap. This exhaust isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a transformation. With improved sound, lighter weight, and premium Italian craftsmanship, it brings the Katana to life in a way that both purists and performance enthusiasts will appreciate.
Overview: From the Street to the Superbike Paddock
SC-Project has built a global reputation in racing circles, supplying exhausts to top teams in MotoGP, Moto2, WorldSBK, and endurance racing. That same elite engineering and passion for performance now extends to street riders through products like the Metal Black series.
Designed for the Suzuki Katana, this slip-on muffler represents a perfect balance of race-born innovation and daily rideability. It enhances the character of the bike—visually and audibly—while staying practical and easy to install. With premium materials, a bold visual style, and a refined, deep exhaust note, this muffler gives the Katana a voice that finally matches its presence.
Design & Materials: Precision in Every Detail
The Metal Black muffler is built using high-grade stainless steel for strength, durability, and excellent heat resistance. It features a matte black ceramic coating that not only looks stealthy and aggressive but also protects the muffler from heat discoloration and road grime.
The star of the show is the CNC-machined aluminum end cap, finished in a striking black and silver paint combination. This component is milled from solid billet aluminum for maximum strength and then painted to achieve a high-contrast, high-quality look. The two-tone finish adds a touch of sophistication and detail that elevates the Katana’s aesthetic without overwhelming its lines.
Laser-etched logos, precision TIG welds, and compact dimensions give the muffler a motorsport-ready appearance, while integrating beautifully with the Katana’s aggressive, angular bodywork. The end result is a sleek, performance-driven exhaust that blends seamlessly into the bike’s design.
Sound: More Character, More Presence
If there’s one area where the stock Katana underwhelms, it’s sound. The factory exhaust is muted and lacks the excitement you’d expect from a machine powered by a GSX-R-derived inline-four. The SC-Project Metal Black Muffler changes all of that.
At startup, the bike now emits a low, authoritative rumble. Blip the throttle and you’re met with a deep, smooth tone that sharpens as the revs climb. It’s louder than stock, yes—but it’s also controlled, crisp, and refined. This is not just noise; it’s tuned acoustics meant to bring out the best in the Katana’s engine character.
The muffler also reduces backpressure, which means the engine breathes better. Riders will notice a snappier throttle response, more linear power delivery, and a livelier feel overall. Whether you’re riding through city streets or tearing up the twisties, the improved soundtrack and smoother engine response make every ride more enjoyable.
Performance: Lighter, Sharper, Quicker
While this slip-on exhaust doesn’t require changes to the headers or catalytic converter, it still delivers performance improvements that riders can feel. The free-flowing design enhances mid-range torque and lets the engine spin up with less restriction.
In addition to improved throttle response, the muffler’s lightweight construction results in a noticeable reduction in overall weight compared to the OEM system. Less weight means better handling, quicker transitions, and a more responsive feel when leaning into corners or powering out of them.
For those seeking even more power gains, SC-Project also offers optional de-cat mid-pipes and full-system configurations. Pairing this muffler with an ECU tune or piggyback fuel controller can unlock significant gains, particularly in the upper rev range.
Installation: Easy Upgrade with Big Results
Installing the SC-Project Metal Black Muffler on the Suzuki Katana is straightforward. As a slip-on system, it mounts directly to the OEM mid-pipe without cutting, welding, or complex modifications. SC-Project includes all necessary mounting hardware, and most riders can complete the installation in under an hour using basic tools.
Once installed, the muffler fits snugly and securely, with perfect alignment to factory mounting points and brackets. Its compact design tucks cleanly into the tail section, giving the Katana a sleeker, more streamlined rear profile.
Street Legality & Options
This version of the Metal Black Muffler is generally sold in racing configuration, meaning it does not include a dB killer or catalytic converter. While this results in a bolder sound and improved flow, it may not meet noise or emissions regulations for public road use in all regions.
Riders should check local laws before installing. SC-Project also offers homologated or Euro5-compliant variants for those who want street-legal performance with a more subdued tone.
