SC1-R Racing-Inspired Design
SC-Project developed the SC1-R using experience gained through major motorcycle racing competitions. Its sharp lines and asymmetric, rhomboidal carbon-fibre end cap create a distinctive appearance that complements the Yamaha YZF R1.
Moreover, the hydroformed outlet pipe gives the silencer a refined shape. Titanium construction and carefully finished details also support its premium appearance. The titanium version features a laser-marked SC-Project logo, adding a subtle finishing touch.
Titanium Construction and Carbon-Fibre End Cap
The SC1-R combines several materials to balance weight, durability and styling. Its titanium outer body offers a lightweight alternative to the original exhaust, while the carbon-fibre end cap adds a racing-inspired finish.
Furthermore, SC-Project uses TIG welding, CNC-machined insert bushings and sound-absorbing material designed to withstand high temperatures. These construction details reflect the exhaust’s performance-focused design.
The kit also includes a carbon-fibre heat shield and a full titanium de-cat link pipe. Together, these components form part of the system developed for the Yamaha YZF R1 (2015-16).
Power and Torque Improvements
According to SC-Project’s supplied performance figures, the SC1-R exhaust provides the following gains:
- Maximum power gain: 8.4 hp at 7,100 rpm.
- Maximum torque gain: 8.5 Nm at 7,100 rpm.
These figures indicate the manufacturer’s reported improvements under its test conditions. Actual results can vary depending on the motorcycle’s condition, setup and other modifications.
Lightweight Exhaust System
Reducing exhaust weight can help lower the motorcycle’s overall mass. SC-Project lists a weight saving of 5 kg, comparing the original exhaust at 8 kg with the SC-Project system at 3 kg for the 250 mm version.
Consequently, the lighter system can reduce the weight carried by the motorcycle. Confirm the exact configuration and included components before purchasing, as specifications may vary by version.
Slip-On Design and Original Component Compatibility
This SC1-R system uses a slip-on configuration with bracket mounting. It supports the installation of the original lambda probe and remains compatible with the original passenger footboards, according to the supplied specifications.
In addition, the kit includes a full titanium de-cat link pipe. Because the system removes the catalytic converter, installation may affect emissions compliance and road legality. Always check the applicable rules before use.
Sound Characteristics and dB-Killer
The SC1-R includes a dB-killer, allowing the exhaust to operate with its supplied noise-reduction insert installed. SC-Project lists the following sound measurements:
- With dB-killer: 109 dB at 5,500 rpm.
- Without dB-killer: 115 dB at 5,500 rpm.
These figures describe the manufacturer’s reported measurements. Actual sound levels may vary with measurement conditions and motorcycle setup. The exhaust is specified for racing use only, so do not assume it is approved for public-road use.
Overview
The SC Project SC1-R Titanium Exhaust- Yamaha YZF R1 (2015-16) combines racing-inspired styling, titanium construction and manufacturer-reported performance gains. Its carbon-fibre end cap, full titanium de-cat link pipe and lightweight muffler create a distinctive upgrade for track-focused riders.
Additionally, compatibility with the original lambda probe and passenger footboards supports integration with specified factory components. Before installation, confirm fitment, review the included kit components and check any requirements for tuning or engine management.
