The aprilia rsv tuono 1000r & factory 2006-2010 is one of the most revered naked bikes ever to roll out of Noale, and at Max Torque Cans we’ve developed a performance exhaust built specifically to honour its extraordinary character. Powered by the legendary 998cc 60-degree V-twin derived directly from the RSV1000R superbike, this is a machine that demands hardware worthy of its engineering pedigree. Our kit delivers a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note, sharper throttle response, and a visual upgrade that complements the Tuono’s raw, muscular aesthetic — whether you’re carving up an A-road or pushing hard on track.
Tuono owners are a particular breed. You didn’t settle for a softened, compromised machine — you chose the closest thing to a race superbike with the bodywork stripped back to its essentials. So when it comes to upgrading your exhaust, you need components that are engineered to that same uncompromising standard. Every part of this kit has been carefully selected and manufactured to withstand the demands of a high-revving twin-cylinder powerhouse, delivering consistent, repeatable performance ride after ride, mile after mile.
What’s Included in the Aprilia RSV Tuono 1000R & Factory 2006-2010 Kit
When your order arrives, you’ll have everything needed to complete the installation without hunting down additional hardware. The kit for the aprilia rsv tuono 1000r & factory 2006-2010 contains the following components:
- 2 x Stainless 304 CNC Mandrel Bent Link Pipes — precision-formed for smooth, unrestricted exhaust gas flow and a perfect OEM-matching fitment to your factory downpipes
- 2 x Stainless Exhaust Straps — tough, corrosion-resistant straps engineered to hold your cans firmly in position under hard riding conditions
- 2 x Exhaust Strap Rubbers — vibration-dampening rubbers that protect both the strap and the silencer body from wear, heat fatigue, and rattle
The stainless steel construction throughout ensures genuine longevity, even when subjected to the extremes of high operating temperatures and the relentless rigours of British weather. Grade 304 stainless is the benchmark material for motorcycle exhaust components — resistant to corrosion, straightforward to clean, and capable of retaining its finish across thousands of miles of hard use.
The mandrel-bent link pipes deserve particular mention. Unlike cheaper crush-bent alternatives, mandrel bending maintains a consistent internal diameter all the way through each curve. This means exhaust gases flow faster, more freely, and with far less turbulence — translating directly into improved mid-range torque and a more linear, responsive power delivery. On the aprilia rsv tuono 1000r & factory 2006-2010, that mid-range is precisely where you’ll feel the difference most keenly on the road.
Fitment Guide for the Aprilia RSV Tuono 1000R & Factory 2006-2010
One of the real strengths of this kit is its straightforward installation. The components are designed to bolt directly onto your standard OEM downpipes — no cutting, no welding, no permanent modification to your motorcycle whatsoever. It’s a clean, fully reversible upgrade well within the capabilities of any competent home mechanic.
Before you begin, please keep the following fitment notes in mind:
- OEM Downpipes Required: This performance exhaust is engineered to fit straight onto your standard factory downpipes. If your downpipes have already been replaced or modified, please verify compatibility before placing your order.
- Use Your Original OEM Springs: When refitting, retain and reuse the standard springs from your original silencers. These are tensioned correctly for this application and will deliver a secure, vibration-free connection.
- No Fuelling Changes Required on a Standard Bike: Our exhausts are manufactured to deliver real performance gains without requiring any fuelling adjustments on an otherwise stock machine. Fit it, ride it — no rolling road visit needed.
- Running Aftermarket Modifications? If your aprilia rsv tuono 1000r & factory 2006-2010 already runs an aftermarket air filter and/or a de-cat pipe, we strongly recommend having your fuelling professionally mapped. A remap will unlock the full potential of your modified setup and ensure the engine runs cleanly and efficiently throughout the rev range.
If you have any doubt about carrying out the installation yourself, we always recommend having the work completed by a trusted dealer or independent specialist. A correctly fitted performance can will reward you immediately — a poorly fitted one simply won’t.
Sound and Performance: What to Expect from the Aprilia RSV Tuono 1000R & Factory 2006-2010
Let’s be honest — sound is a significant part of why riders upgrade their exhaust, and we’re genuinely proud of what ours delivers. The aprilia rsv tuono 1000r & factory 2006-2010 already produces a distinctive, thunderous note in standard form. Our performance exhaust amplifies that character dramatically, giving you a deeper, more authoritative tone at low revs that builds into a proper, spine-tingling howl as you climb through the rev range. It’s the kind of sound that makes every overtake an occasion.
Beyond the soundtrack, the improved gas flow from the mandrel-bent stainless link pipes helps the engine breathe more freely across the entire rev range. Customers consistently report sharper throttle response and a noticeable improvement in mid-range punch — exactly the kind of real-world performance gain that makes every ride more engaging and more rewarding. The visual transformation is equally satisfying: the clean stainless finish and quality mounting hardware give the bike a purposeful, race-inspired appearance that suits the Tuono’s aggressive naked styling to perfection.

Frequently Asked Questions — Aprilia RSV Tuono 1000R & Factory 2006-2010
Will this kit fit both the standard RSV Tuono 1000R and the Factory variant?
Yes. The kit is designed to fit both the standard aprilia rsv tuono 1000r & factory 2006-2010 and the Factory specification model. Both variants share the same fundamental engine architecture and exhaust configuration across this generation, making this a direct fit for the entire model year range from 2006 through to 2010.
Do I need to remap my bike after fitting this exhaust?
If your bike is otherwise standard, no remap is required. Our performance exhausts are engineered to work effectively with the factory fuelling map straight out of the box. However, if you’re already running a de-cat pipe, an aftermarket air filter, or any other engine modifications, a professional remap is strongly recommended to make the most of your complete setup.
Which springs should I use during installation?
Please retain and reuse your original OEM springs when fitting the exhaust to your aprilia rsv tuono 1000r & factory 2006-2010. The factory springs are tensioned to the correct specification for this application and will provide the secure, rattle-free connection the kit is designed around.
Is this a direct OEM replacement?
This is an aftermarket performance upgrade rather than an exact factory replacement part, but it is designed to bolt on using your existing downpipes and OEM springs with no modification to the motorcycle whatsoever. It’s a clean, straightforward swap that looks and performs like it belongs there — because it does.
Can I see or hear this exhaust before I buy?
Absolutely. We have a gallery of images on our Flickr page and video footage on YouTube so you can see the finish and hear the sound of this exhaust in action before committing. We actively encourage potential buyers to take a look — we’re confident you’ll like what you see and hear.
