Akrapovic Exhaust Headers for 2020+ BMW S1000RR / S1000R / M1000RR

Akrapovic Exhaust Headers for 2020+ BMW S1000RR / S1000R / M1000RR - Unleash Performance

Upgrade your 2020+ BMW S1000RR, S1000R, or M1000RR with Akrapovic exhaust headers. Experience significant horsepower and torque gains, substantial weight reduction, and the iconic Akrapovic racing sound.

Akrapovic exhaust headers are engineered to be the ultimate performance upgrade for your 2020 and newer BMW S1000RR, S1000R, and M1000RR. As a world leader in high-performance exhaust systems, Akrapovic leverages extensive racing experience to design headers that optimize exhaust flow, dramatically reducing back pressure and maximizing your bike's engine potential. 

These optional headers are designed to seamlessly integrate with Akrapovic slip-on exhaust systems (and often with the OEM/BMW accessory Akrapovic silencer), allowing you to upgrade your existing setup to a full system. Akrapovic offers these headers in two primary material options:

• High-Grade Stainless Steel: Provides an excellent balance of performance, durability, and value, with a significant weight reduction over stock.
• Ultralight Titanium: For the ultimate in performance and weight savings, titanium headers offer the greatest reduction in mass and often develop a unique blueing effect with heat, a desirable aesthetic for many enthusiasts.

Regardless of the material chosen, Akrapovic headers feature precision engineering and a meticulously crafted design. They utilize advanced manufacturing processes, including hydroforming, to ensure optimal tube shapes for unimpeded exhaust gas flow, resulting in measurable increases in horsepower and torque throughout the entire RPM range. This translates to a more responsive engine and exhilarating acceleration.

While an ECU remapping is not always strictly required, it is highly recommended by Akrapovic and performance tuners for perfect performance, throttle response, and durability, as well as to prevent any "check engine light" warnings that might arise from optimizing the exhaust system.

The Akrapovic exhaust headers are a testament to superior craftsmanship, featuring a combination of beautiful machine and hand welds, air-tight quality control, and high-quality silicon-shielded stainless steel exhaust springs for reliable connections. This upgrade is a significant step towards transforming your BMW into a true track-ready machine, delivering not just power but also the distinctive, aggressive Akrapovic racing sound.

Best Uses:

• Performance Enhancement: Ideal for riders seeking to unlock maximum horsepower and torque from their S1000RR, S1000R, or M1000RR.
