sc project exhaust sc1-r titanium z900 (2025)
The SC-Project SC1-R Titanium Exhaust is a high-performance sc-project-exhau…tanium-z900-2025/ slip-on system crafted for the 2025 Kawasaki Z900. Developed with insight from SC-Project’s racing programs in MotoGP, Moto2, and WorldSBK, it brings championship-grade innovation to everyday riders. Lightweight, powerful, and aggressive in both look and sound, the SC1-R turns the Z900 into an even more responsive and thrilling machine.
Whether you’re slicing through twisty backroads, navigating city streets, or enjoying a weekend track session, this exhaust system enhances every ride. It’s built for those who crave power, sound, and standout design—without giving up legal compliance or reliability.
Premium Materials and Track-Inspired Design
To start, the SC1-R features grade 1 titanium, known for its ultra-light weight, corrosion resistance, and impressive heat tolerance. Unlike stainless steel or aluminum, titanium performs flawlessly under extreme temperatures—making it ideal for high-output engines like the Z900’s.
In addition, the muffler’s body is finished with a clean, brushed titanium surface that exudes a premium feel. At the end, a carbon fiber end cap adds a motorsport-inspired touch while improving aerodynamics. These design details not only enhance durability but also seamlessly complement the Z900’s muscular styling.
Moreover, SC-Project uses TIG welding in a controlled environment to ensure strength and precision. Internally, CNC-machined bushings guarantee a precise fit and long-lasting stability, even through intense riding and repeated heat cycles.
Noticeable Weight Savings and Real Performance Gains
One of the biggest benefits of upgrading to the SC1-R is the drastic weight reduction. The stock exhaust on the 2025 Z900 weighs about 4.1 kg, while the SC1-R tips the scale at just 1.1 kg. This 3 kg reduction significantly improves agility, handling, and cornering stability.
Furthermore, performance sees a clear boost. Riders can expect a gain of:
-
+3.2 horsepower at 8,500 rpm
-
+3.5 Nm of torque at 7,700 rpm
These improvements may seem moderate at first glance, yet they result in noticeably sharper throttle response, smoother power delivery, and better mid-range pull. As a result, the bike becomes more responsive and exciting—especially when pushing hard through the gears.
A Soundtrack to Match the Z900’s Spirit
Beyond performance, the sound is what truly defines the SC1-R. At idle, the system emits a deep, bass-heavy growl. As the revs rise, the tone sharpens into a raspy, commanding roar that speaks to its racing pedigree.
Unlike some aftermarket systems, the SC1-R is not hollow or overly loud. Instead, it’s refined, raw, and tuned for character. Thanks to its expertly designed internals and titanium shell, it avoids harsh drone while maintaining an aggressive profile.
Importantly, this system is Euro 5+ compliant, so riders can enjoy its powerful sound while staying within legal decibel limits. For those wanting more volume on the track, SC-Project also offers a removable dB-killer insert (always check your local regulations before removal).
Plug-and-Play Installation Made Easy
When it comes to installation, the SC1-R Titanium is designed to make things simple. It bolts directly onto the Z900’s stock headers using the included stainless steel mid-pipe, mounting springs, and hardware—no cutting or welding needed.
The complete package includes:
-
SC1-R titanium muffler
-
Stainless steel link pipe
-
Mounting springs and screws
-
SC-Project decals
-
Euro 5 homologation card
-
Official 24-month SC-Project warranty
Additionally, no ECU remapping is required. That means you can install it and start riding with immediate results. However, if you’re pairing it with intake upgrades or want to squeeze out every bit of performance, ECU tuning remains an available option.
Legal Compliance with a Racing Heart
Despite its aggressive tone and race-ready aesthetic, the SC1-R is fully road-legal. It meets Euro 5+ emissions and noise regulations, so you can enjoy top-tier performance without sacrificing compliance.
Thanks to its included homologation card, you won’t need to worry about roadside inspections or failing noise tests in regulated areas.
