Here at Max Torque Cans, we’ve engineered a precision-crafted performance exhaust specifically designed to bolt straight onto your kawasaki ninja 1000sx tourer 2020 -, delivering an improved exhaust note, a cleaner aesthetic, and a fitment that feels factory-perfect from the very first ride.

Why Upgrade the Exhaust on Your Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX Tourer 2020 -?

The stock silencer on the kawasaki ninja 1000sx tourer 2020 – does its job adequately, but it’s designed with noise regulations and mass-market appeal in mind rather than outright performance or character. Swapping it out for a quality aftermarket can unlocks a deeper, more purposeful exhaust note that reflects the true nature of Kawasaki’s inline-four engine. Beyond the sound, a well-made link pipe improves exhaust gas flow, and the lighter construction compared to the original unit can contribute to a modest reduction in overall weight — always a welcome benefit on a sports tourer that you’ll be pushing hard on weekend blasts.

At Max Torque Cans, we’ve spent years developing exhausts that are built to last and designed to fit correctly first time. Our kawasaki ninja 1000sx tourer 2020 – exhaust solution is no exception. Every component in this kit has been selected and manufactured to the highest standard, giving you the confidence that your investment will pay dividends for thousands of miles to come.

What’s Included in the Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX Tourer 2020 – Exhaust Kit

This complete kit arrives ready to fit, containing everything you need to carry out a straightforward installation at home or in your garage. There are no hidden extras to source and no trips to the hardware shop required. Here’s exactly what you’ll find in the box:

• 1 x Stainless 304 CNC Mandrel Bent Link Pipe — Precision-formed using mandrel bending technology to maintain consistent internal diameter throughout every curve, ensuring maximum gas flow and no restriction points.
• 1 x Stainless Exhaust Strap — Heavy-duty stainless steel construction that holds your can securely in place, even under the vibration and heat cycles of sustained hard riding.
• 1 x Exhaust Strap Rubber — A protective rubber buffer that sits between the strap and the can, preventing metal-on-metal contact and helping to absorb vibration for a rattle-free finish.

The heart of this kit is the Stainless 304 CNC Mandrel Bent Link Pipe. Grade 304 stainless steel is the benchmark material for performance exhausts — it offers outstanding corrosion resistance, copes brilliantly with the thermal extremes of a high-revving four-cylinder engine, and maintains its appearance far longer than mild steel alternatives. The mandrel bending process is critical here: unlike conventional bending methods, mandrel bending ensures the pipe wall doesn’t thin or distort at the bends, preserving the internal bore diameter and keeping exhaust gas moving freely at all times.

Fitment Details for the Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX Tourer 2020 –

This exhaust has been developed to mate directly with the standard OEM downpipes on the kawasaki ninja 1000sx tourer 2020 -. There is no requirement to modify your existing downpipes, source additional adaptors, or make any permanent changes to your motorcycle. The link pipe is engineered to the correct diameter and profile to slide cleanly into position, and the stainless strap and rubber buffer handle the rear mounting point with ease.

This approach means the kawasaki ninja 1000sx tourer 2020 – retains its full structural integrity and original downpipe setup, making it straightforward to revert to the standard can should you ever need to — for an MOT, for instance, or when selling the bike. It’s a fully reversible upgrade, which is exactly what most riders want from an aftermarket performance exhaust.

Installation Notes for Your Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX Tourer 2020 –

Installation is well within the capabilities of a mechanically confident home mechanic, and experienced riders often complete the job in under an hour. Before you begin, allow the engine and original silencer to cool completely — working on a hot exhaust is both dangerous and uncomfortable. You’ll want a basic set of spanners and sockets to hand, along with some copper grease to apply to the joints, which will make future removal considerably easier and help prevent the connections from seizing over time.

Remove the original silencer and link pipe from the OEM downpipes, then offer up the new stainless link pipe. It should align cleanly without forcing. Once the link pipe is seated, attach your chosen can using the included stainless strap and rubber buffer, tightening everything evenly to avoid distortion. Start the engine and run it up to temperature, then recheck all fixings once it has cooled again — this is standard practice and ensures everything has settled correctly into place.
