HP Corse for Suzuki GSX-R1000

One of the most celebrated of motorcycle models in recent years - certainly a flagship for Suzuki - the GSX-R1000 / R has the track in its DNA , and so has Italian exhaust specialist HP Corse . Based just outside Bologna , in Italy ' s famed ' Motor Valley ' (" the land where speed was born "), HP Corse has three range options for the ' Gixxer ' - the SP- 3 Carbon Short , EvoXtreme and Hydroform Short R . Conceived in its Bologna R & D Centre , the SP-3 Carbon Short 230 Titanium is one of the latest designs from HP Corse and is said to have been " inspired by the shape of a diamond ". The 23 cm long silencer body is made in titanium with carbon fibre end cap and heat shield and an aggressive cut that suggests speed - it is available in a racing version only , without dB killer . Extensively dyno-tested , the company says it delivers " superior performance compared to the OEM exhaust - at all revs ". The EvoXtreme has a 26 cm silencer body with an in-house designed , bracket-free slip-on mounting and " has been designed to completely redesign the profile and rear look of
ExoXtreme SP-3 Carbon Short the bike . Also available exclusively in a racing version only without dB killer , it has a titanium silencer body with laserengraved logo . The irregular shape of the variable geometry silencer body tapers towards the fitting with an oblique cut carbon end cap . Thanks to its record low weight , the EvoXtreme enhances the handling quality and power of the 999.8 cc in-line fourcylinder engine ". Finally , the Hydroform Short R is a flagship product for HP Corse and parent company Steelform . " Because of the very high pressures created by hydroforming , we are able to create extraordinary shapes and variable diameters without having to cut or weld the steel . Through the hydroforming process , all the limitations of conventional exhaust design can be set aside , and new , unprecedented aesthetic goals achieved - an aesthetically unique , sinuous and exciting design without welding , without reduced sheet thicknesses , but with an extreme rigidity and strength for record low weights . " Hydroform Short R is equipped with a very short , welded fitting and an anchoring system to the original manifold that allows it to be supported without a clamp or welded bracket . Also available only in the racing version without dB killer , it has an oblique cut end cap and MotoGP style metal mesh ".
