What’s Included with the Kawasaki ZX-9R C1 – C2 – E1 – E2 1998-2001 Performance Exhaust

When you order your kawasaki zx-9r c1 – c2 – e1 – e2 1998-2001 exhaust from Max Torque Cans, you receive everything you need to complete the fitment straight out of the box. There’s no need to source additional hardware or hunt around for compatible fixings — we’ve made it as straightforward as possible.

• 1 x Performance Silencer / Can — precision-crafted for a clean, factory-matching fit
• 3-bolt fitting — secures firmly to the OEM downpipe collector
• 1 x Stainless Exhaust Strap — durable and corrosion-resistant for long-term reliability
• 1 x Exhaust Strap Rubber — protects the frame bracket and absorbs engine vibration

Everything has been selected to ensure a secure, rattle-free fit that will last season after season. The stainless steel strap in particular is a quality touch — it won’t rust out over winter the way cheaper alternatives can, and it keeps your new can sitting exactly where it should be, mile after mile.

Fitment Details for the Kawasaki ZX-9R C1 – C2 – E1 – E2 1998-2001

Fitment is one of the most important considerations when choosing a replacement or upgrade silencer, and the kawasaki zx-9r c1 – c2 – e1 – e2 1998-2001 exhaust from Max Torque Cans has been built to be as straightforward as possible. This can is made to fit straight onto the standard, unmodified OEM downpipes on all covered variants — that means your C1, C2, E1, and E2 models produced between 1998 and 2001 are all catered for.

No additional adaptors are required. The 3-bolt connection matches the original collector flange configuration, so you’re simply unbolting the old can and bolting the new one in place. It’s a job that the average home mechanic can complete in under an hour with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes — Kawasaki ZX-9R C1 – C2 – E1 – E2 1998-2001

Installing your new kawasaki zx-9r c1 – c2 – e1 – e2 1998-2001 performance can is a satisfying job when you’re properly prepared. Here are a few practical tips to help you get the best result:

• Allow the engine to cool fully before beginning the swap — original downpipes and the old silencer will retain heat for a surprisingly long time.
• Apply copper grease to the 3-bolt flange threads before tightening. This prevents thread seizure and makes future removal far easier.
• Fit the exhaust strap rubber before the stainless strap — it cushions the bracket mount and prevents vibration wear on your frame.
• Check all bolts for correct torque once the exhaust has been run up to temperature and allowed to cool. A brief re-check prevents any loosening caused by initial thermal expansion.
• Do not wash the exhaust until it has been heat-cycled at least twice — this allows any manufacturing residues to burn off cleanly and helps the finish settle.

The whole process is genuinely accessible for home mechanics. You don’t need specialist tools or professional fitting, though if you’re in any doubt, your local motorcycle workshop will have you sorted quickly and inexpensively.

Frequently Asked Questions — Kawasaki ZX-9R C1 – C2 – E1 – E2 1998-2001

• Will this exhaust fit my ZX-9R E1 as well as the C1?
  Yes — the kawasaki zx-9r c1 – c2 – e1 – e2 1998-2001 exhaust is designed to cover all four variants: C1, C2, E1, and E2, across the 1998 to 2001 model years.
• Do I need to remap or retune the bike after fitting?
  No remap is required for a straight silencer swap. You’re retaining the original downpipes, so the fuelling remains unaffected.
• Is this road legal?
  We recommend checking current UK noise and emissions regulations for road use. This exhaust is sold as a performance aftermarket part and is suitable for track use and off-road applications. Please satisfy yourself as to legality for your specific use before fitting to a road-registered vehicle.
• Will it fit if I’ve already got an aftermarket downpipe fitted?
  This silencer is designed specifically to mate with the standard OEM downpipes. If you have an aftermarket mid-pipe or downpipe, please contact us before ordering so we can advise on compatibility.
• How much does it weigh compared to the standard can?
  Significantly less — one of the major benefits of upgrading from the original factory silencer is a useful reduction in unsprung weight, which also helps handling.
