X-Kone slip ons were designed at first to be used in our Competition and Competition Full Titanium systems. The results ad appreciation these slip ons got suggested to create a separate line of standard systems, using a new carbon endcap, designed to fit naked and sportbikes.
The internal structure of the slip on is in stainless steel, slip on body is in Nichrom (an alloy with stainless steel) with satin finish: depending on the bike X-Kone slip ons can be fitted on the original slip ons (as a slip on – with an adaptor) and/or on the Arrow headers (part of the full system) and they are secured to the frame by means of a mount welded on the upper side of the body.
Noise damping is achieved by absorption: this enables to reduce the weight and the dimensions of the slip on: the weight of the slip on is about 2.2kg, typically 30/40% less than the OE.
Even installing the slip on version only helps increasing performance, logically using the X-Kone slip on with Arrow headers gives the best performance gain. Fitting an X-Kone is easy and fast and these systems do not require to change original settings of the ECU or to add a separate ECU module.
Arrow suggests to check CO levels once the exhaust is installed. X-Kone slip ons are street legal.
