Honda’s revived Hornet has been analysed by AkrapoviČ and found to be in need of a new slip-on system to make a bit more power and a more “vivid” noise. The hand-crafted end can is made from stainless steel with a carbon fibre sleeve and a titanium cap. The link pipe is also stainless steel. This results in a weight saving over the OE kit of more than 45% – or 1.8kg in real terms. The power gains are modest, with an extra 0.7hp and 0.6Nm of torque being found with the bike on the dyno, but on the plus side it requires no mapping changes and is a straight swap for the original exhaust. SRP is £843.
