What’s Included with the Suzuki DL1000 VSTROM 2014 – 2019 Exhaust Kit
Every kit supplied for the suzuki dl1000 vstrom 2014 – 2019 is packed with everything you need to complete a clean, professional-looking fitment straight out of the box. There’s no hunting around for additional parts or making do with generic hardware — Max Torque Cans takes pride in supplying a complete, quality package every single time.
- 1 x Stainless 304 CNC Mandrel Bent Link Pipe — precision-formed from high-grade 304 stainless steel for outstanding corrosion resistance and long-term durability
- 1 x Stainless Exhaust Strap — a robust, purpose-made strap that holds the can firmly in place under all riding conditions
- 1 x Exhaust Strap Rubber — a protective rubber buffer that prevents vibration transfer and keeps the mounting area in pristine condition
The link pipe is the heart of this kit. Manufactured using CNC mandrel bending technology, the pipe retains a perfectly consistent internal diameter throughout every bend, ensuring unrestricted gas flow. This translates to improved throttle response, a stronger mid-range pull, and that unmistakable exhaust note that adventure tourers deserve. The use of 304 stainless steel throughout means this kit will shrug off the worst British weather has to offer — season after season.
Fitment Details for the Suzuki DL1000 VSTROM 2014 – 2019
One of the standout benefits of this kit is how straightforward the installation is. The exhaust has been designed to bolt directly onto your standard OEM downpipes, meaning there’s no cutting, no welding, and no specialist fabrication required. If you’re comfortable with basic mechanical work and have the right spanners to hand, you can have this fitted in your own garage in a single afternoon.
The suzuki dl1000 vstrom 2014 – 2019 link pipe is precision-formed to match the factory routing exactly, so alignment is spot-on from the moment you offer it up. This is not a generic, one-size-fits-most solution — it is a dedicated fitment engineered specifically for this model and this generation of VSTROM. The included strap and rubber buffer ensure that once fitted, the can sits securely and quietly, with no unwanted rattles or movement even on rough roads.
Installation Notes for the Suzuki DL1000 VSTROM 2014 – 2019
Before you begin fitting your new performance exhaust, allow the engine and original silencer to cool completely — this is both a safety requirement and it helps prevent seizure on any threaded fasteners. It’s always a good idea to apply a small amount of copper grease to the link pipe connections before assembly, particularly if the bike is used in wet or salty conditions. This will make future removal far easier and help protect the joints long-term.
- Ensure all OEM downpipe gaskets are in good condition before fitting — replace if worn or damaged
- Torque all fasteners to the manufacturer’s recommended settings to prevent leaks
- Double-check clearances from heat-sensitive components such as bodywork and wiring looms
- On first start-up, allow the new exhaust to heat cycle fully before pushing the bike hard
- Re-check all fastener torques after the first ride, as mild settling is normal during initial heat cycling

Watching those videos before you begin will give you a clear picture of what to expect and help the job go smoothly from start to finish.
