Designed and manufactured right here in the UK, this is a product made by riders, for riders.

Why Choose the Max Torque Cans Honda VFR800 RC79 2014 – 2020 Performance Exhaust?

The Honda VFR800 RC79 is already one of the finest all-round motorcycles ever produced — a sports tourer with a legendary V4 engine that rewards every throttle input with a distinctive, spine-tingling note. But fit a quality aftermarket can and you elevate the whole experience. Our honda vfr800 rc79 2014 – 2020 exhaust is crafted from grade 304 stainless steel using CNC mandrel bending techniques, meaning every curve in that link pipe is smooth, consistent, and flow-optimised. No kinks. No restrictions. Just clean, unrestricted exhaust gas flow from the downpipes all the way through to the tip of the can.

Unlike cheap imported alternatives, this exhaust is built to withstand the British climate — rain, road salt, cold starts, and everything else our roads throw at a motorcycle throughout the year. The 304 stainless steel construction offers outstanding corrosion resistance, meaning your VFR will look the part and sound the part for many thousands of miles to come.

What’s Included with the Honda VFR800 RC79 2014 – 2020 Exhaust Kit?

Every kit is supplied complete and ready to fit. There are no hidden extras to order separately — everything you need for a clean, professional installation is in the box:

  • 1 x Stainless 304 CNC Mandrel Bent Link Pipe — precision-formed to match the OEM routing of the Honda VFR800 RC79, ensuring a proper fit every time
  • 1 x Stainless Exhaust Strap — heavy-duty and corrosion-resistant for a secure, rattle-free mounting solution
  • 1 x Exhaust Strap Rubber — absorbs vibration and protects the mounting points, reducing wear over time

The honda vfr800 rc79 2014 – 2020 link pipe is designed to mate directly with the standard OEM downpipes on your machine. No cutting, no fabrication, no specialist tools required. If you can use a spanner and a socket set, you can fit this exhaust in your own garage on a weekend morning.

Fitment Guide for the Honda VFR800 RC79 2014 – 2020

Fitment couldn’t be more straightforward. This exhaust has been specifically developed for the honda vfr800 rc79 2014 – 2020 model range — that’s the RC79 frame designation covering bikes produced from the 2014 model year through to 2020. It will not fit the earlier RC46 or RC46B variants, so please ensure you have the correct model before ordering. If you’re in any doubt about your frame code, it can be found on the VIN plate located on the steering head of your motorcycle.

Installation tips to make the job even smoother:

  • Allow the engine to cool fully before beginning any work on the exhaust
  • Apply a small amount of copper anti-seize compound to the OEM downpipe connection to prevent the joint from seizing in future
  • Loosely fit all fixings before fully tightening — this allows the link pipe and can to align naturally before being locked down
  • Check all fixings after your first ride and re-torque if necessary, as components naturally settle with heat cycling
  • A short heat-cycling period is recommended before hard riding — simply ride normally for the first few sessions to allow the exhaust to bed in

Because the honda vfr800 rc79 2014 – 2020 exhaust is a direct OEM replacement-style fit, no remap or fuel controller is typically required for most standard cans. However, if you are running a particularly free-flowing performance can in conjunction with other engine modifications, it is always worth considering fuelling adjustments to get the very best out of your setup.

Sound, Performance, and Style on the Honda VFR800 RC79 2014 – 2020

One of the most common reasons riders come to us for a honda vfr800 rc79 2014 – 2020 exhaust upgrade is simply the sound. The VFR’s V4 engine has a naturally distinctive character, but the standard OEM silencer does an excellent job of suppressing it in the name of noise regulations and mass-market appeal. Swap it out for an aftermarket can and that V4 soundtrack is immediately transformed — deeper, more purposeful, and far more rewarding on every ride.

Beyond the acoustics, there are genuine performance and weight benefits to be had. The freer-flowing design of an aftermarket exhaust reduces back pressure in the system, allowing the engine to breathe more naturally and extract more from every combustion cycle. Combined with the weight saving over the stock unit, the result is a sharper, more responsive motorcycle that feels lighter and more agile in the bends.

Visually, the stainless steel finish complements the VFR’s premium aesthetics beautifully. The RC79 is a handsome machine, and a quality aftermarket can only adds to its presence — whether you’re parked up at a café stop or pulling away from the lights.

Eighth Generation: 2014-Present VFR800F (RC79)
A facelifted VFR800 debuted at the 2013 EICMA show in Milan, Italy. The revised model features a new single-sided exhaust system, akin to the fifth-generation one, lighter wheels, and additional mass-reduction, lowering the curb weight by 10 kg (22 lb). The new VFR also features traction control, a new instrument panel, and revised aerodynamic bodywork with LED lighting, though the engine and chassis remain largely unchanged from the previous sixth-generation model. Continued from the sixth-generation model is also the 2006 refined version of the VTEC system. The side-mounted heat exchangers were dropped in favor of a single front-mounted unit. The model is sold worldwide. In the US market, it is available in two versions: Standard and Deluxe. The Deluxe version adds ABS, traction control, grip heaters, center stand, and self-canceling turn signals. Outside the US, only the Deluxe version is sold.

VTEC valve actuation
The VFR800 was the first non-JDM motorcycle to use VTEC valve-gear. Honda used VTEC to meet tightening noise and emissions standards and to increase the peak engine horsepower. Based on the VTEC-E system, the simplified motorcycle version of VTEC employs only two of the four valves per cylinder when operating at lower engine speeds. All four valves per cylinder are engaged above approximately 6,800 rpm. This is initiated by an electronically actuated oil spool valve, which sends oil pressure to the lifter actuators, which then move the engagement pins into place above the valve stem, allowing the remaining two valves to open. This design allows for variable valve timing as well, since the cam lobe profiles can be made different. After much criticism of the abruptness of power transition, Honda lowered the VTEC activation rpm threshold to 6,400 rpm in 2006. The VTEC disengages two cylinder valves when the engine speed drops again below 6,100 rpm.
