Vandemon Titanium Exhaust System For 2020-25 BMW R18 Bagger, Classic & Transcontinental

Vandemon Titanium Exhaust | BMW R18 Bagger, Classic & Transcontinental (Back order)

Upgrade your BMW R18 Bagger or Transcontinental with Vandemon Titanium Exhaust. 10kg weight savings, deep boxer growl, and perfect pannier clearance.

Elevate your touring experience with the Vandemon Titanium Exhaust System, custom-built for the BMW R18 Bagger, Classic, and Transcontinental (2020-2025). This "Long" version is specifically engineered with extended mufflers to ensure proper exhaust flow and heat clearance for models equipped with factory side bags and panniers.

Forged from high-grade Ti1 Japanese Titanium, this system replaces the massive, heavy chrome factory pipes. By eliminating the restrictive catalytic converter and utilizing large-diameter piping, it allows the 1802cc Big Boxer to breathe as it was meant to. The result is a significant boost in torque, a cooler running engine, and a deep, authoritative acoustic profile that defines the heritage of the R18.

Key Benefits

3. Signature Boxer Growl: Unleashes a deep, resonant "thump" that highlights the displacement of the 1802cc engine without the high-pitched rasp of steel pipes.
4. Cooler Touring: Titanium dissipates heat much faster than chrome-plated steel, protecting your boots and pannier contents from excessive heat soak.
