SC-Project CR-T Slip-On + Cat Replacement Pipe Kawasaki ZX-10 R/RR (2016-2020) K22A-DET36

The SC-Project CR-T is one of the most technically accomplished slip-on silencers available for the Kawasaki ZX-10 R and ZX-10 RR, delivering a meaningful gain in power and a dramatic drop in weight without requiring a full system swap. For riders who want a straightforward, high-impact upgrade — whether for track days or spirited road riding — this kit offers genuine race-derived performance in a single, bolt-on package.

Key Features

• Power gain of +13.8 hp at 9,000 rpm and torque gain of +10.8 Nm at 6,750 rpm over the stock exhaust
• Weight saving of 5.2 kg compared to the factory system (SC-Project unit: 1.2 kg vs. stock: 6.4 kg), improving agility noticeably
• Variable-taper titanium link pipe (Ø60 mm to Ø70 mm) optimises exhaust flow for maximum mid-range and top-end pull
• Hand-finished titanium end cap — extremely light and highly heat-resistant
• Carbon fibre heat shield protects surrounding bodywork and adds a purposeful racing aesthetic
• T.I.G.-welded joints and CNC-machined titanium bushings ensure precise fitment and long-term durability
• No dB killer fitted — delivers the full, unfiltered exhaust note measured at 118 dB at 6,500 rpm

Build Quality and Materials

SC-Project draws directly on its involvement in Moto2 and MotoGP programmes when engineering road and track accessories like the CR-T. The link pipe uses a variable-taper design machined from titanium, running from Ø60 mm at the header connection to Ø70 mm at the silencer inlet. This geometry is not cosmetic — it is calculated to reduce back pressure and sharpen throttle response across the rev range.

The end cap is hand-formed titanium, chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to the sustained heat cycles of hard riding. All joints are T.I.G. welded in-house for consistency and strength, and the CNC-machined titanium mounting bushings mean the silencer locates cleanly on the first attempt, without the shimming or fettling that can accompany cheaper alternatives.

On Road and Track

The 5.2 kg weight saving alone transforms the feel of the ZX-10 R, reducing unsprung and overall mass for sharper direction changes and more responsive braking. Paired with the power and torque gains, the CR-T makes a measurable case for itself on a data logger as well as by feel. The 118 dB exhaust note is pure racing character — rewarding at a track day and unmistakable in a paddock.

Because no dB killer is included, this system is recommended primarily for closed-circuit use or in jurisdictions where noise limits are not enforced. Riders who plan to use the motorcycle on public roads should confirm local regulations before fitting.

Fitment and Compatibility

This slip-on kit is designed specifically for the following models:

• Kawasaki ZX-10 R (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020)
• Kawasaki ZX-10 RR (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020)

The cat replacement pipe (KAT-Ersatzrohr) is included in this kit, enabling removal of the stock catalytic converter section for optimum flow. Fitment is a direct bolt-on; no modification to the motorcycle is required.
