SC Project Exhaust SC1-R Carbon for Z900 (2025)
The SC-Project SC1-R Carbon Exhaust is a premium sc-project-exhau…on-for-z900-2025/ performance upgrade designed for the 2025 Kawasaki Z900—a motorcycle known for its aggressive style, sharp handling, and powerful inline-four engine. Built with input from top-level racing, the SC1-R Carbon brings MotoGP technology to the streets, transforming the Z900 into an even more responsive, lightweight, and aurally thrilling machine.
For riders who want to amplify their Z900’s power delivery, aesthetics, and sound—without compromising on durability or street legality—the SC1-R Carbon is a compelling choice.
Design & Construction: Lightweight Meets Tough
The SC1-R’s standout feature is its full carbon fiber body, which provides excellent thermal resistance while drastically reducing overall weight. Compared to the stock exhaust, this system is lighter, more compact, and purpose-built for performance. The carbon finish also adds a sleek, high-tech appearance that perfectly complements the Z900’s muscular lines and minimalist design.
A titanium alloy end cap sits at the rear, featuring a unique angular cut inspired by SC-Project’s racing heritage. Not only does it look aggressive, but it also contributes to the exhaust’s excellent heat resistance and structural integrity.
The exhaust uses TIG welding, performed in a controlled environment, to guarantee strong, consistent seams. Internally, CNC-machined components ensure a precise fit and exceptional reliability, even under hard riding.
Performance Gains: More Power, Less Weight
While the Z900 is no slouch in stock form, the SC1-R Carbon takes its performance to the next level. Riders can expect a boost in horsepower and torque, especially in the mid-to-high RPM range. Throttle response becomes crisper, acceleration feels more immediate, and the engine breathes more freely.
Though exact gains depend on supporting mods and conditions, SC-Project has recorded increases of:
-
+3.2 horsepower
-
+3.6 Nm of torque
These numbers translate to more exciting acceleration, stronger roll-on performance, and a ride that feels sharper and more engaging in every gear.
And don’t overlook the weight savings: the SC1-R weighs in at just 1.1 kg, compared to over 4 kg for the stock muffler. This weight reduction—especially at the rear end of the bike—makes a noticeable difference in handling, agility, and overall ride feel.
Sound: Deep, Distinct, and Pure SC-Project
The SC1-R Carbon is built to sound as good as it looks. Thanks to its race-inspired internals and free-flowing design, it delivers a deep, throaty exhaust note at idle and a sharp, racebike-inspired roar under load. It’s not obnoxiously loud, but it’s unmistakably aggressive.
The note is clean and refined, free from droning or distortion, with a sporty edge that brings out the Z900’s inline-four growl. Whether you’re riding through the city or climbing through twisty mountain passes, the sound alone will enhance the ride.
Installation: Simple & Seamless
The SC1-R Carbon is a direct-fit slip-on exhaust for the 2025 Kawasaki Z900. It requires no cutting, welding, or remapping of the ECU, making it ideal for riders who want a DIY-friendly upgrade.
