The honda vfr800x crossrunner stands as one of Honda’s finest adventure-touring machines, blending V4 power with genuine versatility across every riding scenario. At Max Torque Cans, we’ve developed a premium aftermarket performance exhaust system specifically engineered for the Honda VFR800X Crossrunner 2011–2020 (RC60 chassis), delivering enhanced sound quality, reduced weight, and a visual upgrade that perfectly complements this exceptional motorcycle.
Whether you’re tackling long-distance touring routes, threading through urban traffic, or exploring winding B-roads, our exhaust transforms your riding experience the moment you fire up that characterful V4 engine.
Why Your Honda VFR800X Crossrunner Deserves an Exhaust Upgrade
Honda equips the VFR800X Crossrunner with a functional OEM exhaust system designed to meet strict emissions regulations and appeal to the widest possible market. While perfectly serviceable, the factory silencer prioritises compliance over character, leaving significant room for improvement in both sound and performance. Our aftermarket performance exhaust is purposefully engineered to unlock the true personality of your honda vfr800x crossrunner, delivering a deeper, more satisfying exhaust note that lets that glorious V4 engine sing properly.
Upgrading to a quality aftermarket exhaust offers multiple tangible benefits beyond just improved acoustics. You’ll immediately notice a significant weight reduction compared to the heavy standard can—the OEM unit is built with noise suppression as the primary goal, which means additional baffling and heavier materials. Our stainless steel system sheds unnecessary kilos whilst maintaining structural integrity and durability.
You’ll also appreciate the cleaner, more aggressive styling that enhances the purposeful lines of the RC60 chassis. This is one of the most satisfying modifications you can make to your motorcycle, delivering real-world improvements every single ride.

We believe in providing everything necessary for a proper professional installation straight from the box. When you order this performance exhaust for your honda vfr800x crossrunner, you receive a comprehensive fitting kit including all essential components:
- 1 x Grade 304 Stainless Steel CNC Mandrel Bent Link Pipe — precision-manufactured for optimal exhaust gas flow and perfect OEM-replacement fitment
- 1 x Stainless Steel Exhaust Mounting Strap — engineered for strength, corrosion resistance, and longevity through all weather conditions
- 1 x Exhaust Strap Rubber Isolator — effectively dampens vibration whilst protecting mounting points and surrounding components from wear
The link pipe represents the engineering centrepiece of this kit. Manufactured from premium grade 304 stainless steel and formed using advanced CNC mandrel bending technology, it maintains a consistent internal diameter throughout every bend and curve. This precision matters significantly because unrestricted exhaust gas flow translates directly into improved scavenging efficiency, better combustion characteristics, and noticeably sharper throttle response.
There are absolutely no pinched sections, no flow restrictions, no compromises—just smooth, uninterrupted gas flow from your cylinder head right through to the tailpipe.
Fitment Specifications for the Honda VFR800X Crossrunner RC60
This exhaust system has been specifically designed and tested to fit the honda vfr800x crossrunner produced between 2011 and 2020, encompassing the complete production run of the RC60 model designation. Our link pipe is engineered to bolt directly onto the standard OEM downpipes without requiring any modification whatsoever to your frame, headers, or existing mounting points. This is a genuine direct-replacement, bolt-on solution—no drilling, no cutting, no fabrication, and no permanent alterations to your motorcycle.
Installation is straightforward and well within the capabilities of most home mechanics equipped with basic hand tools. We always recommend allowing your engine and all exhaust components to cool completely before beginning any work. Once the factory can and mid-pipe section are removed, the new stainless link pipe locates cleanly onto the standard downpipes using the original connection points.
Secure everything using the included stainless mounting strap and rubber isolator, torque all fasteners to Honda’s specified values, and you’re ready to ride. For visual learners, we’ve produced detailed video walkthroughs available on our YouTube channel, and a comprehensive photo gallery on Flickr allows you to inspect every weld, bend, and finish detail before making your purchase decision.
Engineering Quality and Materials Built for British Roads
Every exhaust system we manufacture at Max Torque Cans is built to withstand genuine UK riding conditions—that means rain, road salt, temperature cycling, and everything else our challenging climate throws at your motorcycle. The grade 304 stainless steel used throughout this honda vfr800x crossrunner exhaust kit is specifically selected for its exceptional corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance capabilities, as recognised by the British Stainless Steel Association for demanding automotive applications.
Unlike cheaper mild steel alternatives that develop surface rust within a single season, stainless 304 maintains both its structural integrity and visual appearance year after year. The CNC mandrel bending manufacturing process ensures every curve is geometrically accurate and uniform, completely eliminating the weak spots, flow restrictions, and inconsistencies inherent in cheaper press-bend manufacturing methods. The result is an exhaust system that looks exceptional, fits precisely, and continues performing flawlessly ride after ride, season after season.
The mounting hardware receives equal attention to detail. The stainless steel exhaust strap paired with its quality rubber isolator provides secure, rattle-free mounting whilst effectively protecting surrounding bodywork from heat transfer and vibration damage. These are the thoughtful engineering touches that distinguish a properly developed aftermarket component from budget alternatives.
