If you’re looking to unlock the true potential of your small-bore street fighter, this British-made performance exhaust for the honda msx125cc grom 2016 – 2020 is precisely what your build has been waiting for. Crafted right here in the UK from premium T304 stainless steel, the Max Torque Cans header and downpipe combination is engineered to deliver measurable power gains, a satisfying exhaust note, and a significant weight reduction — all while fitting as cleanly as the standard equipment it replaces.
Why Upgrade the Honda MSX125cc Grom 2016 – 2020 Exhaust?
The honda msx125cc grom 2016 – 2020 is one of the most beloved small-capacity motorcycles on UK roads. Fun, flickable, and endlessly customisable, the GROM has earned a devoted following among commuters, trackday enthusiasts, and weekend riders alike. However, the factory exhaust is a compromise — heavy, restrictive, and laden with emissions hardware that throttles performance before you’ve even left the driveway.
By replacing the standard setup with a Max Torque Cans British-made header and downpipe, you’re removing that restriction and allowing the engine to breathe freely. The result is a smoother, more responsive power delivery across the rev range — exactly what the honda msx125cc grom 2016 – 2020 deserves.
What’s Included with This Honda MSX125cc Grom 2016 – 2020 Kit?
Every order includes the following:
- A British-made T304 stainless steel front pipe / header — precision-formed to match the factory fitment exactly, so installation is straightforward and clean.
- A full downpipe that fits right up to and including a rear silencer of your choice — giving you total freedom to pair it with your preferred performance can.
- The header is designed to improve exhaust gas flow significantly compared to the standard unit, helping your engine produce more usable power once the restrictive cat box has been removed.
Please note: use a normal silicone-based sealant rather than the factory gasket in order to achieve a proper gas-tight seal. This is a simple step that ensures long-lasting, leak-free performance.
Weight Savings on the Honda MSX125cc Grom 2016 – 2020
Weight matters on a small bike. Every kilogram you shed improves handling, acceleration, and the overall riding experience. Here’s how the Max Torque Cans setup compares to the standard factory pipe:
- Standard downpipe weight: 4 kg
- MTC downpipe and silencer combined weight: 3 kg
- Total weight saving: 1 kg
On a lightweight motorcycle like the honda msx125cc grom 2016 – 2020, a full kilogram reduction is genuinely noticeable. Combined with the improved gas flow from the T304 stainless header, you’ll feel the difference from the very first ride.
Fuelling and Air Filter Notes for the Honda MSX125cc Grom 2016 – 2020
MTC exhausts are specifically manufactured to deliver maximum power without requiring any changes to the standard fuelling. This means you can bolt the kit on and ride straight away without visiting a tuner or investing in additional hardware.
That said, if your honda msx125cc grom 2016 – 2020 is already running an aftermarket air filter and/or a de-cat, then having the fuelling professionally mapped will always complement the engine’s performance and efficiency. In that scenario, a remap is a worthwhile investment that will extract every last bit of power from your upgraded setup.
Installation and Fitment for the Honda MSX125cc Grom 2016 – 2020
One of the standout features of this kit is how closely it mirrors the OEM fitment. The British-made T304 stainless front pipe is shaped to drop straight into the standard mounting positions on the honda msx125cc grom 2016 – 2020, meaning you won’t need specialist tools or fabrication skills to get it fitted. A competent home mechanic should have no trouble completing the installation in a single session.
Key installation points to keep in mind:
- Remove the standard cat box as part of the installation to achieve the best power gains from the improved exhaust gas flow.
- Use a silicone-based sealant at all joints in place of the factory gasket — this creates a durable, gas-tight seal that won’t degrade with heat cycles.
- Pair the downpipe with your chosen rear silencer or performance can — this kit is compatible with a wide range of aftermarket options.
- Double-check all fixings once the bike has gone through a heat cycle to ensure everything remains torqued correctly.
