For most cruiser riders, the sound their bikes make is an irreplaceable part of the experience. Machines with twin-cylinder engines, such as the Indian Challenger and Pursuit, have some of the best-sounding twin-cylinder engines in the world of cruiser bikes, and the sounds of these engines are further accentuated by a quality aftermarket exhaust system.
Speaking of which, Sawicki Speed, a high-performance exhaust specialist based in Denver, USA, has just launched a new exhaust system specifically for the Indian Challenger and Pursuit. The new exhaust system is a Full-Length configuration that fits alongside the brand’s Mid-Length and Shorty offerings. The Full-Length exhaust system is ideal for riders who want to maintain the standard look of the bike, while reducing weight and adding some character by improving the sound of the engine.
On the functional side of the equation, the Sawicki Full-Length exhaust system provides a weight saving of up to 10.4 kg compared to the original system. In addition, the brand claims a power gain of 8 hp and 13.5 Nm of torque. Sawicki claims that its distinctive 1.75-inch to 2-inch design and hand-formed fusion manifold are responsible for this result, as they provide precise airflow performance. In terms of technology, the exhaust pipes are made from aircraft-grade 304 stainless steel, hand-welded and assembled in-house by Sawicki engineers.
Following the launch of the full-length exhaust system for the Indian Challenger and Pursuit, Sawicki Speed president Chris Clark explained to Motorsports News Wire, “Our goal is to offer owners of these bikes a full line of exhaust upgrades to unleash a wicked sound and produce even more horsepower and torque. Is there anything better than upgrading your American twin-cylinder engine with an American-made exhaust?”
As with all Sawicki Speed exhaust configurations, the new Full-Length system comes equipped with all the necessary hardware for a perfect installation. Each exhaust system is covered by Sawicki’s Limited Lifetime Warranty and your preferred exhaust configuration can be further enhanced with the optional stainless steel and carbon fiber heat shields sold separately.
Sawicki Speed offers its exhaust system in three finish options: hand-brushed stainless steel, black ceramic or a mirror-polished chrome finish. In addition, it is possible to install styling parts such as an end cap in black billet, aluminum, carbon fiber or stainless steel. The new exhaust system is now available to order on the official Sawicki website.
