Akrapovic Slip-On Line (Carbon) Exhaust – Aprilia RSV4 / Factory / R (2009–2014) S-A10SO6-ZC

The Akrapovic Slip-On Line (Carbon) for the Aprilia RSV4, RSV4 Factory and RSV4 R (2009–2014) is built around a hexagonal carbon-fibre canister with a carbon end cap and an all-titanium internal structure — a specification that strips 3.6 kg from the stock exhaust weight and adds a measurable gain in both power and torque. Part number S-A10SO6-ZC, this is the definitive first step in exhaust tuning for any RSV4 owner who refuses to compromise on materials.

Key Features

• Dramatic weight saving: stock system weighs 5.6 kg; Akrapovic Slip-On brings that down to 2.0 kg — a reduction of 3.6 kg
• Proven power gain of 5.2 hp, lifting output from 165.0 hp to 170.2 hp at 12,450 rpm
• Torque increase of 5.6 Nm at 6,780 rpm for sharper mid-range response
• Hexagonal canister housing crafted entirely from carbon fibre, including the end cap, for an uncompromising race aesthetic and minimal mass
• All metallic silencer components — including the internal core — manufactured from titanium
• Titanium connecting pipe mates directly to the original OEM header with no modification required
• dB-Eater (V-TUV049/1) included for circuit noise compliance

Build Quality and Materials

Where many slip-on exhausts use carbon fibre purely as a cosmetic wrap over an aluminium shell, Akrapovic's approach here is fundamentally different. The canister is a genuine carbon-fibre structure, and every metallic component within — baffles, inner sleeve, mounting hardware — is titanium. The result is a part that feels as purposeful as it looks. The titanium connecting pipe retains direct compatibility with the RSV4's standard header, so fitment is straightforward and the original header's tuned characteristics are preserved.

The sound character shifts by 2 dB over stock (from 100 dB to 102 dB at 6,500 rpm), delivering the layered, mechanical note that Akrapovic exhausts are known for without becoming anti-social on a race paddock. The included dB-Eater (V-TUV049/1) gives you an additional option for noise-managed circuits.

Track Use and Homologation

This system carries no road-use approval and is intended solely for closed-circuit racing. The e1 certification number 0617(9) is noted on the product. Riders who remove the pillion footpegs can optionally fit a dedicated exhaust bracket — available separately — to provide additional support for the canister in that configuration.

Fitment and Compatibility

This Akrapovic Slip-On Line (Carbon) is engineered specifically for the following models:

• Aprilia RSV4 (2009–2014)
• Aprilia RSV4 Factory (2009–2014)
• Aprilia RSV4 R (2009–2014)

The system mounts directly to the original Aprilia header with no cutting or welding. If the pillion footrests are removed, an optional exhaust bracket is available to secure the silencer.
