Our slip-on performance exhaust for the Hayabusa Gen 2 is precision-engineered to bolt straight onto your machine, delivering a deeper, more aggressive tone alongside a noticeable improvement in throttle response and overall rideability. Whether you’re chasing that distinctive growl on the open road, looking to shed unnecessary weight, or simply want to sharpen the aesthetics of your Hayabusa, this is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
Why Choose Our Performance Can for the Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa 2008- 2020 (Gen 2 )
At Max Torque Cans, we’ve been building and supplying aftermarket silencers for serious motorcycle enthusiasts across the United Kingdom for years. Every can we produce is crafted with genuine passion for the art of exhaust engineering, and our fitment for the suzuki gsx1300r hayabusa 2008- 2020 (gen 2 ) is no exception.
This is a purpose-built slip-on silencer designed specifically for the Gen 2 Hayabusa, meaning you won’t be fighting with ill-fitting brackets, misaligned joints, or frustrating clearance issues during installation. The result is a clean, professional finish that looks like it came straight from the factory — only far better sounding and significantly lighter.
The Gen 2 Hayabusa is a genuinely special machine. Its 1340cc inline-four engine produces breathtaking power delivered in near-total silence from the factory, a characteristic that many owners find underwhelming given the bike’s fearsome reputation. Our performance can changes that equation dramatically. Once fitted, your Hayabusa wakes up with a voice that matches its legendary status — a thunderous, resonant exhaust note that turns heads at every junction and sends a shiver down your spine every time you crack the throttle open.
According to Suzuki’s official specifications, the Gen 2 Hayabusa was built to dominate, and our exhaust helps it sound like the dominant force it truly is.
What’s Included in the Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa 2008- 2020 (Gen 2 ) Fitment Kit
We believe a quality aftermarket exhaust should come with everything you need to get it fitted cleanly and confidently. That’s why every suzuki gsx1300r hayabusa 2008- 2020 (gen 2 ) kit from Max Torque Cans is supplied as a complete package, ready to install without hunting around for additional hardware or making emergency trips to the fastener shop. Here’s exactly what you’ll find in the box:
- 2 x CNC mandrel bent link pipes — precision-formed for perfect fitment and optimum flow characteristics
- 2 x exhaust straps with rubbers — providing secure, vibration-dampened mounting to protect both the can and your bike’s frame
- 2 x link pipe clamps — ensuring a tight, leak-free connection between the link pipes and the headers
- 2 x exhaust clamps — for a solid, rattle-free union at every joint
The CNC mandrel bent link pipes are a particular point of pride for us. Mandrel bending maintains the full internal diameter of the pipe throughout every curve, meaning exhaust gases flow freely without restriction or turbulence. On an engine as powerful and meticulously engineered as the Hayabusa’s, every small improvement in gas flow contributes to the overall performance of your ride.
Cheap, crush-bent alternatives create internal pinch points that rob your engine of potential and can even cause back pressure issues — ours don’t.
Installation Notes for the Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa 2008- 2020 (Gen 2 )
Fitting a slip-on silencer to the suzuki gsx1300r hayabusa 2008- 2020 (gen 2 ) is a straightforward job for anyone with a basic set of spanners and a bit of mechanical confidence. That said, we always recommend allowing yourself plenty of time and working on a cool engine to avoid contact with hot components. Here are a few practical tips to help the job go smoothly:
- Remove the stock silencers and original link pipes carefully, retaining any OEM hardware you may need for reference during reassembly
- Offer up the new CNC link pipes before fully tightening any clamps — this allows you to align everything correctly before committing to a final position
- Ensure the exhaust straps are routed correctly and that the rubber mounts are seated fully before torquing down
- Once fitted, start the engine and listen carefully for any exhaust leaks at the joins — minor adjustments to clamp positions can cure most issues before they become problematic
- Allow everything to heat cycle a couple of times before checking all clamps for final tightness, as metal expands and contracts with temperature changes
If you’re ever uncertain about tackling the installation yourself, your local independent bike workshop will have this sorted in under an hour. The fitment has been designed to be as installer-friendly as possible, so in most cases it really is a genuinely satisfying DIY job that you can complete in your own garage on a Saturday afternoon.
Sound, Style and Performance — the Full Package for Your Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa 2008- 2020 (Gen 2 )
Beyond the practical benefits of improved gas flow and reduced weight, there’s simply no denying the visual impact of a quality aftermarket can on the suzuki gsx1300r hayabusa 2008- 2020 (gen 2 ). The stock silencers are functional but uninspiring — they do their job quietly and efficiently, but they do nothing to celebrate the ferocity of what’s sitting ahead of them.
Our performance can transforms the rear end of the bike, giving it a meaner, more purposeful stance that matches the Hayabusa’s legendary character and race-bred heritage.
The weight saving alone makes a noticeable difference to the handling characteristics of the bike. Removing mass from the rear end improves the overall balance and makes the Hayabusa feel more nimble through fast, sweeping corners. Combined with the enhanced throttle response that comes from improved exhaust gas scavenging, you’ll find your Hayabusa feels sharper, more eager, and more connected to your inputs.
If you’re also interested in what we offer for other Suzuki models, take a look at our fitment for the SUZUKI GSXR1000 K7 K8 2007 – 2008 Twin Silencers — another popular choice for riders who want that twin-can look and a seriously impressive soundtrack. We also stock a comprehensive range of exhausts for smaller capacity machines, including the SUZUKI GSXR 600-750 K6-K7 2006-2007, so whatever Suzuki you ride, we’ve got you covered.

To Make sure that you are shopping for the correct Model exhaust here is some information about this model.
The Suzuki Hayabusa (or GSX1300R) is a sport bike motorcycle made by Suzuki since 1999. It immediately won acclaim as the world’s fastest production motorcycle, with a top speed of 303 to 312 km/h (188 to 194 mph).
In 1999, fears of a European regulatory backlash or import ban led to an informal agreement between the Japanese and European manufacturers to govern the top speed of their motorcycles at an arbitrary limit. The media-reported value for the speed agreement in miles per hour was consistently 186 mph, while in kilometers per hour it varied from 299 to 303 km/h, which is typical given unit conversion rounding errors. This figure may also be affected by a number of external factors, as can the power and torque values.
The conditions under which this limitation was adopted led to the 1999 Hayabusa’s title remaining, at least technically, unassailable, since no subsequent model could go faster without being tampered with.[14] After the much anticipated Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R of 2000 fell 6 km/h (4 mph) short of claiming the title, the Hayabusa secured its place as the fastest standard production bike of the 20th century. This gives the unrestricted 1999 models even more cachet with collectors.
Besides its speed, the Hayabusa has been lauded by many reviewers for its all-round performance, in that it does not drastically compromise other qualities like handling, comfort, reliability, noise, fuel economy or price in pursuit of a single function. Jay Koblenz of Motorcycle Consumer News commented, “If you think the ability of a motorcycle to approach 190 mph or reach the quarter-mile in under 10 seconds is at best frivolous and at worst offensive, this still remains a motorcycle worthy of just consideration. The Hayabusa is Speed in all its glory. But Speed is not all the Hayabusa is.
Suzuki lightly revised the GSX1300R for the 2008 model year, with a minor restyling of the bodywork, and fine-tuning of the engine’s head, pistons, and exhaust. Though the engine changes were relatively limited, they still yielded a large horsepower increase and brought the bike into compliance with new noise and emissions requirements.
