Slip-On Motorcycle Exhausts

Think of your motorcycle as a work in progress and a slip-on exhaust suddenly makes a lot of sense. This part alone provides immediate gains to looks, sound, and performance without requiring a huge investment of time and money. Slip one on to the end of your exhaust system and get riding! It’s truly that easy, and we cover the perks of installation in this article here. Get browsing the products above and find the bike-specific or universal item that’ll help transform your motorcycle from box stock to bike night standout.

As the name implies, slip ons generally attach to the end of your exhaust system with relative ease. It’s far less costly and time-consuming than installing a full system while still letting you test ride some of the benefits of the larger project. The process of removing the old end can and installing a new muffler generally comes down to some bolts, brackets, clamps and possibly springs. Since the entire assembly is out in the open, removal and installation are often a breeze. What’s more, these upgrades are well-suited for all types of riders: American cruiser owners can enjoy a new, beefier exhaust note while road-going Japanese and Italian sport bike riders will uncork hidden horsepower. There’s a clear bang-for-your-buck tradeoff that’ll make those bangs leaving the combustion chamber sound so much sweeter.

Well-known brands in this space include Akrapovic, FMF, LeoVince or Vance & Hines and their mufflers have been made with specific rides in mind. V-Twin owners will often go for chrome-laden cans while dirt bikers can easily install aftermarket slip-ons meant to fine-tune throttle response.
