Could your new 2022 Suzuki Hayabusa use a little more growl? If so, then you may want to know about the new slip-on exhaust that Akrapovič introduced just to suit your baby peregrine falcon. Particular attention was paid to making it as aerodynamic as possible, in keeping with the ‘Busa’s high-speed capabilities. Let’s take a look.

Construction, as you’ve probably already guessed, involves . It is, after all, one of Akrapovič’s specialties. The outer sleeve is made from a black-coated titanium, while the link pipes are made of a high-grade stainless steel. Carbon fiber end caps and carbon fiber heat shields round out the package, which the company says is a full 31.6 percent lighter than the stock unit.

What weight does that percentage convert to? By installing the Akrapovič Slip-On Titanium exhaust, your ‘Busa will drop an entire 3.9 kilograms, or nearly 8.6 pounds. That’s a pretty impressive decrease, considering that it’s just a slip-on. Incidentally, this system is Euro 5 compliant, and no engine remapping is necessary to reap its benefits.
