The BMW S 1000 RR (2015–2016) redefined the superbike class with its incredible performance, advanced electronics, and aggressive styling. Built on the foundation of racing success, this version of the S 1000 RR delivers breathtaking speed and precision, both on road and on track. But for riders who want to take their machine to the next level—by shedding weight, unleashing sound, and improving midrange responsiveness—the SC-Project CR-T Titanium Exhaust offers a no-nonsense solution that delivers MotoGP-level thrills.
Designed as a slip-on exhaust, the CR-T Titanium transforms the BMW’s character with lightweight construction, a compact race-style form, and a signature exhaust note that announces your arrival long before you come into view.
The CR-T Series: Racing Technology for the Real World
The SC-Project CR-T series has earned a reputation as one of the most aggressive and track-focused exhaust designs in the world. Originally developed for MotoGP and World Superbike competition, the CR-T brings true motorsport DNA to production sportbikes like the S 1000 RR.
The exhaust features a short, conical profile with twin large-diameter outlets, maximizing exhaust gas evacuation and improving throttle response. Every aspect of the CR-T is optimized for weight savings, high-temperature resistance, and uninhibited performance.
This version—crafted in titanium—is built for riders who prioritize both function and extreme durability. Titanium offers a blend of low weight, high strength, and excellent heat resistance, making it a perfect fit for the high-performance, high-revving inline-four of the BMW S 1000 RR.
Sound: Raw, Mechanical, and Addictive
The CR-T Titanium isn’t subtle, and that’s the point. It produces a brutally raw exhaust note that reflects the S 1000 RR’s track-bred origins. With the dB killer (baffle) removed, the system delivers a deafening roar that rivals factory race bikes in tone and intensity.
The sound at idle is deep and raspy, while acceleration produces a spine-tingling metallic growl that quickly climbs into an aggressive scream at higher RPMs. Many riders liken it to a MotoGP bike—sharp, immediate, and thrilling.
Even with the baffle in place, the CR-T offers a much more engaging exhaust tone than the factory muffler. It’s louder, fuller, and more responsive without being overwhelming for city or short-range use.
⚠️ Note: This exhaust is not homologated for street use in many countries. It is primarily designed for track use or private roads, and riders should consult local regulations before installation.
Featherweight Construction, Maximum Performance
The titanium construction of the CR-T gives it a huge advantage over the OEM BMW exhaust. Weighing in at approximately 1.3–1.5 kg, the CR-T is nearly half the weight of the stock silencer. This helps improve overall weight distribution and reduces unsprung mass, especially valuable for track days or spirited canyon riding.
Weight reduction plays a crucial role in handling performance, particularly when accelerating out of corners or transitioning between lean angles. Lighter bikes feel more agile, and any weight removed from the rear end helps improve responsiveness and suspension dynamics.
In addition, the exhaust system features TIG-welded seams, CNC-machined flanges, and premium spring-mounted brackets to ensure long-term reliability—even under extreme thermal and mechanical stress.
Installation: Fast and Hassle-Free
SC-Project designs the CR-T Titanium specifically for the 2015–2016 BMW S 1000 RR, making installation fast and straightforward. The system is a plug-and-play slip-on, bolting directly to the OEM mid-pipe with no cutting or welding required.
Mounting takes less than an hour using basic hand tools. SC-Project provides all the necessary hardware, including mounting springs, stainless-steel brackets, and an optional carbon fiber heat shield for additional protection and race-style aesthetics.
While ECU remapping is not required, pairing the CR-T with a racing mid-pipe and fuel management system (such as a Power Commander or ECU flash) can unlock additional horsepower and fine-tune the power delivery. Riders can expect +2 to +4 horsepower gains, depending on configuration.
Track-Ready Looks
Visually, the CR-T Titanium is a head-turner. Its raw brushed titanium finish and dual outlet ports offer a purely functional race look, stripping away the bulk and visual weight of the factory exhaust.
The compact profile tucks closely beneath the tail section, emphasizing the RR’s athletic lines and making room for cornering clearance and weight centralization. The laser-etched SC-Project logo adds a final touch of factory race-team styling.
Final Verdict
The SC-Project CR-T Titanium Exhaust is not just an aftermarket upgrade—it’s a performance statement. For owners of the 2015–2016 BMW S 1000 RR who want track-inspired sound, weight savings, and visual aggression, the CR-T delivers in full.
Whether you’re chasing lap times or simply want your S 1000 RR to sound and feel more alive, this exhaust system provides the edge that every serious rider craves.
