What’s Included with the Template Single Evo with Surcharge?

When you order the template single evo with surcharge, you’ll receive a complete fitting kit to get the job done properly from the outset. Every component is selected to ensure a secure, rattle-free, and long-lasting fitment. Here’s exactly what comes in the box:

• 1 x Stainless 304 CNC Mandrel Bent Link Pipe — precision-formed for a smooth, unobstructed flow of exhaust gases, reducing back pressure and supporting improved throttle response.
• 1 x Stainless Exhaust Strap — a heavy-duty mounting strap manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel to hold the silencer firmly in place under all riding conditions.
• 1 x Exhaust Strap Rubber — a purpose-made rubber buffer that absorbs vibration, protects your bodywork, and ensures the strap doesn’t wear against the can over time.

This is a complete, well-thought-out package. Nothing extra to source, nothing left to chance. The template single evo with surcharge arrives ready to be bolted straight onto your machine.

Fitment Details for the Template Single Evo with Surcharge

The template single evo with surcharge is specifically designed to fit the Suzuki GSF600 Bandit from 1995 through to 2004. This covers both the naked and half-faired versions of the Bandit 600, making it one of the most versatile performance cans available for this popular middleweight.

The link pipe is engineered to mate directly with the standard OEM downpipes, meaning there’s no need for additional adapters, reducers, or custom welding. If your Bandit’s downpipes are original and in good condition, you can expect a clean, straightforward installation with no modifications required to the bike itself.

It’s worth noting that if your downpipes are corroded, dented, or non-standard, it’s always advisable to inspect them thoroughly before fitting the template single evo with surcharge, as a good seal at the junction point is key to getting the best performance and eliminating any unwanted blowing.

Installation Notes for the Template Single Evo with Surcharge

Fitting the template single evo with surcharge is a job well within the capabilities of a competent home mechanic. That said, there are a few practical tips worth keeping in mind before you get started:

• Allow the engine to cool completely before attempting removal of the old silencer or link pipe. Burns from hot downpipes are easily avoided.
• Use copper grease or anti-seize compound on all threaded fixings to prevent them from seizing with heat over time — a small step that makes future maintenance much easier.
• Check the rubber strap buffer is correctly positioned before tightening the mounting strap. The rubber should sit between the strap and the silencer body to prevent metal-on-metal contact.
• Tighten the clamp progressively rather than all at once, working around it evenly to ensure a gas-tight seal between the link pipe and the OEM downpipes.
• Start the engine and check for blowing before taking the bike out. A brief warm-up on the stand lets you listen for any leaks and address them straight away.

Most riders report that a full install of the template single evo with surcharge takes no more than 45 minutes to an hour with basic tools. It’s genuinely one of the more satisfying DIY upgrades you can do on a Bandit 600.

Why Choose the Template Single Evo with Surcharge for Your Bandit 600?

There are plenty of aftermarket cans out there, but the template single evo with surcharge stands apart because of the quality of materials and the precision engineering that goes into every single unit. The 304-grade stainless steel used throughout is renowned for its corrosion resistance and durability, meaning this exhaust is built to last through British winters, road salt, and everything else the weather can throw at it.

The CNC mandrel bending process used on the link pipe ensures there are no kinks or collapsed sections in the pipework, which is critical for maintaining optimal gas flow. Compare that to cheaper alternatives where hydraulic bending creates internal restrictions, and the difference in real-world performance becomes immediately apparent.

Aesthetically, the template single evo with surcharge delivers that clean, purposeful look that Bandit owners love — less clutter at the rear, a visible quality silencer, and the kind of finish that doesn’t look out of place at a bike meet or on a track day.
