SC Project Exhaust CR-T carbon with stoneguard grid for Z900 (2025) without carbon heat protector
For riders looking to unleash the full potential sc-project-exhau…n-heat-protector/ of the 2025 Kawasaki Z900, the SC-Project CR-T Carbon Exhaust with Stoneguard Grid is an ideal upgrade. Born from the same engineering principles seen in MotoGP and Moto2, this exhaust system blends racing performance with street-ready durability and style. Designed without the optional carbon heat protector, this configuration offers a stripped-down, lightweight profile focused entirely on function and performance.
Race-Inspired Design and Build Quality
The CR-T Carbon Exhaust is crafted from high-grade carbon fiber, ensuring a premium finish and ultra-lightweight construction. Its compact, aggressive design reflects SC-Project’s racing heritage while maintaining a fit and finish that looks right at home on the modern Z900.
One of the most striking elements is the stoneguard grid, a metal mesh that sits over the exhaust outlet. Originally developed for racing to prevent debris from entering or damaging the exhaust internals, the grid now serves as both a functional and aesthetic highlight. It adds a rugged, motorsport character to the bike while offering genuine protection against road debris.
The system is assembled using TIG welding in a controlled environment to ensure structural strength and long-term reliability. Internal components are CNC-machined from solid blocks, ensuring perfect alignment and durability under stress.
By opting for the version without the carbon heat shield, riders enjoy an even more minimalist, race-bred aesthetic. This design emphasizes weight savings and exposes more of the raw carbon weave, which visually complements the Z900’s edgy design language.
Performance Gains You Can Feel
This exhaust isn’t just about looks—it’s a true performance enhancer. When installed, the CR-T system offers:
-
+3.4 horsepower at 8,700 rpm
-
+3.9 Nm of torque at 7,700 rpm
These improvements make a real difference in day-to-day riding. Throttle response feels sharper, acceleration is more immediate, and the bike pulls harder through the midrange. Whether you’re slicing through city traffic or hitting a winding backroad, the Z900 becomes even more thrilling to ride.
The weight savings are equally impressive. The CR-T exhaust weighs just 0.8 kg, down from the stock system’s 4.1 kg—a massive 3.3 kg reduction. This lighter setup improves overall agility and makes the bike more responsive to steering input and weight transfers.
Installation and Compatibility
The SC-Project CR-T Carbon Exhaust is engineered for plug-and-play installation on the 2025 Kawasaki Z900. No cutting, welding, or remapping is required. The kit includes:
-
Slip-on muffler
-
Link pipe
-
Mounting springs and hardware
-
SC-Project decals
-
Homologation card
-
24-month SC-Project warranty
Because this version excludes the carbon heat protector, installation is even quicker, with fewer parts to mount. It’s a great option for riders who prioritize simplicity and weight savings over extra shielding.
This exhaust system is also compatible with Kawasaki Z900 A2 models from 2020 to 2024, making it an excellent upgrade choice for a wide range of Z900 owners.
Street Legal and Euro 5+ Compliant
Despite its aggressive look and performance, this exhaust is Euro 5+ compliant, meaning it adheres to the latest European emissions and noise regulations. The included homologation card certifies its legal use on public roads in compliant regions. Riders can enjoy a more powerful, more exhilarating ride without compromising on road legality.
Sound That Matches the Look
A big part of the CR-T’s appeal is its distinctive exhaust note. The carbon body and short canister design produce a deep, throaty growl that gives the Z900 a commanding presence—especially under acceleration.
At idle, the tone is smooth and pulsing. As the revs rise, the sound grows sharper and more aggressive, delivering the kind of audio feedback that makes riding even more engaging. And while the note is bold, it stays within legal decibel limits, making it street-appropriate without sacrificing emotion.
Durability Without Compromise
The CR-T exhaust is built to endure. The carbon fiber body resists high temperatures and vibration. The stoneguard grid offers physical protection against debris and thermal damage. And by eliminating the heat protector, you reduce the number of components that can degrade or wear over time.
Whether you’re commuting, touring, or hitting twisty roads, this exhaust is built to handle it.
Conclusion
The SC-Project CR-T Carbon Exhaust with Stoneguard Grid (without heat protector) is a top-tier upgrade for 2025 Kawasaki Z900 riders who crave more power, better sound, and true race-inspired styling. Its lightweight design, noticeable performance gains, and sharp aesthetics make it an ideal choice for enthusiasts.
With easy installation, Euro 5+ compliance, and proven SC-Project quality, this exhaust delivers on every front—performance, durability, and style. Shed the extra weight, boost your ride, and let your Z900 roar with the CR-T carbon system.
