Akrapovic BOLT-ON systems include only the muffler. Thus, only the stock muffler is replaced, while the header assembly from the stock exhaust system remains unchanged.

It is intended for those who do not wish to make major mechanical alterations to the bike itself, but chiefly desire an improved aesthetic effect. In addition to a noticeable change in the exterior appearance of the bike, you get the characteristic lowered sound, lighter weight and improved power and torque curves in comparison to the restrictive stock muffler.

BOLT-ON systems are produced for bikes whose stock exhaust is constructed so that the muffler can be replaced simply by undoing the bolts on the front rosette. The basically simple Akrapovic BOLT-ON system makes use of this advantage; there is no need for special tools, you just attach it to the stock header assembly. There is also no need to modify any exterior parts. Each system is specially developed for each individual model of motorcycle, so the systems are not interchangeable. Also due to the construction of the stock exhausts, they are designed as equivalents to the SLIP-ON system.

The BOLT-ON system was also designed to be cost-effective, in order to deliver a modest increase in performance, superior quality, aesthetic pleasure and an instantly recognisable sound. And it carries the world-famous Akrapovic brand name!

Street legal versions of BOLT-ON line exhaust systems are also available for certain models.
