Spark Exhaust Titanium Header Aprilia RSV4 / RR / 1100 Factory (2021-2026) GAP8502

Forged in Italy and shaped from aerospace-grade titanium, the Spark Exhaust GAP8502 header for the Aprilia RSV4, RR and 1100 Factory (2021-2026) is the foundation of a genuinely transformative exhaust system. The distinctive raw titanium finish signals its racing heritage the moment you lay eyes on it — and the 0.8 kg weight saving over the OEM header delivers that same message every time you tip into a corner.

Key Features

• Genuine titanium construction — high-temperature resistant, corrosion-proof and dramatically lighter than the stock steel header.
• Weight reduction of 0.8 kg (from 3.3 kg down to just 2.5 kg), improving chassis dynamics and throttle response throughout the rev range.
• Retains full compatibility with the original OEM slip-on, so you can run this header as a standalone upgrade straight away.
• Designed to pair directly with Spark slip-ons GAP0402 and GAP0407, forming a complete full-system exhaust with significant power gains.
• Supplied with all exhaust springs and a complete fitting kit — everything needed for a clean, professional installation.
• Made in Italy: handcrafted in Spark's specialist facility to exacting racing standards, with the build quality to match.

Craftsmanship and Finish

Spark's Italian manufacturing heritage is evident in every weld and bend of the GAP8502. The natural titanium finish — that characteristic iridescent blue-gold heat colouration developing with use — is a hallmark of race-derived components built for both form and function. This is not a mass-produced pressings job; each header is shaped and TIG-welded to Spark's competition specifications, ensuring consistent flow geometry and reliable fitment every time.

Performance on Road and Track

The primary benefit of switching to a titanium header is felt immediately through sharper throttle response and a more linear power delivery. The mass reduction low in the chassis lowers the centre of gravity marginally but meaningfully, aiding turn-in and mid-corner stability — qualities that matter whether you are threading through mountain passes or working through sector times at a circuit. For maximum gains, Spark and Inter-Pace both recommend a dedicated race map or a dyno session to unlock the full potential of the freer-flowing system.
