The bmw k1600b bagger gta is one of BMW’s most impressive touring machines, and if you’re looking to unlock its true sonic potential, Max Torque Cans has the perfect performance exhaust to do exactly that. Engineered specifically for the K1600B Bagger GTA, this exhaust has been designed and built in the UK to the highest standards, giving your bike a deeper, more aggressive tone whilst retaining the refinement that makes this motorcycle such a pleasure to ride. Whether you’re cruising the open motorway or carving through countryside roads, this upgrade transforms the character of your K1600B from the moment you fire up the engine.
At Max Torque Cans, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every product we produce is developed with precision fitment in mind, and the bmw k1600b bagger gta exhaust is no exception. Each component is carefully crafted to slot directly onto your standard OEM downpipes, making this one of the most straightforward bolt-on upgrades you can make to your bike. No cutting, no fabricating, no head-scratching — just a clean, professional-looking installation that looks like it rolled out of the factory that way.
What’s Included With Your BMW K1600B Bagger GTA Performance Exhaust
We know that when you’re investing in a quality exhaust upgrade, you want everything you need in the box without hunting down additional parts. That’s why every bmw k1600b bagger gta kit from Max Torque Cans comes complete with a comprehensive fitment package. Here’s exactly what you’ll receive:
- 2 x Stainless 304 CNC Mandrel Bent Link Pipes — precision bent for perfect fitment and optimal exhaust flow
- Centre Stand Stop Bracket — integrated into the link pipe assembly to ensure your centre stand functions correctly after installation
- 2 x Stainless Exhaust Straps — durable, corrosion-resistant straps built to last
- 2 x Exhaust Strap Rubbers — vibration-dampening rubbers to keep everything secure and rattle-free on the road
Every piece of this kit has been selected with quality and longevity in mind. The use of Grade 304 stainless steel throughout means your new exhaust will resist corrosion and maintain its appearance even through harsh British winters and long touring seasons.
Why Grade 304 Stainless Steel Matters on the BMW K1600B Bagger GTA
Not all stainless steel is created equal, and when it comes to the bmw k1600b bagger gta, we only use Grade 304 stainless throughout the link pipes and associated hardware. Grade 304 is an austenitic steel that offers excellent resistance to heat, oxidation, and corrosion — three things your exhaust endures constantly on every ride. Cheaper alternatives may look the part initially, but they’ll discolour, pit, and degrade far more quickly when exposed to the elements and extreme temperatures generated by a six-cylinder engine like the one powering the K1600B.
The CNC mandrel bending process used in manufacturing these link pipes is equally important. Unlike traditional bending methods, mandrel bending maintains a consistent internal diameter throughout every curve in the pipe. This means there are no crushed or restricted sections to impede gas flow, which contributes to better performance and a freer, more authoritative exhaust note. The bmw k1600b bagger gta deserves this level of craftsmanship, and that’s exactly what Max Torque Cans delivers.
Fitment Notes for the BMW K1600B Bagger GTA
Fitting a new performance exhaust to the bmw k1600b bagger gta is a satisfying job, and this kit has been designed to make the process as smooth as possible. The link pipes bolt directly onto the standard OEM downpipes — there’s no requirement to modify your existing headers or purchase additional adaptor hardware. This is a genuine bolt-on upgrade in every sense of the phrase.
A few important points to bear in mind during installation:
- Allow the engine to cool fully before beginning work. The downpipes and surrounding components retain significant heat after riding.
- Check all fixings for tightness after your first short ride, as the heat and vibration cycle can cause minor settling in new hardware.
- The centre stand stop bracket is included specifically to maintain correct centre stand function after the link pipes are fitted. Make sure this is correctly positioned during installation.
- Exhaust strap rubbers should be seated correctly before tightening the straps to avoid any potential vibration noise once the bike is in use.
If you’d like to see the fitment process in action, Max Torque Cans has a dedicated YouTube channel with multiple videos covering the bmw k1600b bagger gta installation. Links to these videos are provided with the product listing so you can follow along step by step and approach the job with full confidence.
Additional photos of the finished installation are available via our Flickr album, giving you a clear visual reference for how the completed exhaust should look on the bike. We always recommend reviewing these images before purchasing so you know exactly what to expect.
The Sound and Experience of the BMW K1600B Bagger GTA with a Max Torque Can
One of the most immediately satisfying changes you’ll notice after fitting this exhaust to your bmw k1600b bagger gta is the transformation in sound. BMW’s six-cylinder inline engine is already a remarkable piece of engineering, producing a smooth, broad powerband that lends itself perfectly to long-distance touring. However, the standard silencer keeps that character somewhat muted. Fit a Max Torque Can and the engine’s natural character is allowed to breathe — you’ll hear a deeper, richer, more involving tone that puts a smile on your face every single time you twist the throttle.
This isn’t about creating unnecessary noise or compromising the bike’s refinement. It’s about enhancing the riding experience in a way that feels natural and appropriate to a machine of this calibre. The bmw k1600b bagger gta is a premium touring motorcycle, and it deserves an exhaust that reflects that status.

Extra Info
Our Exhausts are manufactured to give maximum power without the need to alter the fueling but, if you have an aftermarket air filter and/or a de-cat, then having the bikes fueling looked at will always compliment the engine’s performance and efficiency.
Here is some information about the model bike.
The bikes feature a new 1,649 cc (100.6 cu in) straight-six engine which is mounted transversely across the chassis. The cylinders are angled forward by 55°. The engine was originally used on the Concept 6, a concept bike that was shown at the 2009 EICMA Milan Motor Show. BMW claims that the engine, which at 560 mm (22 in) wide is just 67 mm (2.6 in) wider than the K1300 engine, is the narrowest in-line six-cylinder engine ever produced. The cylinder bore is 72.0 mm (2.83 in) and the distance between cylinder centers 77 mm (3.0 in). The camshafts are hollow, with cam lobes pressed on, which saves around 2 lb (0.91 kg). The engine has electronic throttle control and multiple drive modes which can be set according to road conditions.
New technology for BMW on these models includes adaptive headlights. As standard, the headlights shine onto a mirror which keeps the beam level according to how the bike is pitched. The optional adaptive headlights include a servomotor that directs the headlight beam according to how the bike is leaning in a turn, effectively pointing the beam around the bend
