For most cruiser motorcycle riders, the sound their bikes make is an irreplaceable part of the experience. Bikes with twin-cylinder engines, like the Indian Challenger and Pursuit, have some of the best-sounding twin-cylinder engines in the cruiser motorcycle world, 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 released a new exhaust system specifically for the Indian Challenger and Pursuit. The new exhaust system is a Full-Length configuration that complements the brand’s Mid-Length and Shorty offerings. The Full-Length exhaust system is ideal for riders looking to maintain the stock appearance of the bike while reducing weight and adding some character, enhancing the sound of the engine.
On the functional side of the equation, the Sawicki Full-Length exhaust system provides a weight savings of up to 10.4 kg compared to the original system. Additionally, the brand claims a power gain of 8 hp and 13.5 Nm of torque. Sawicki states that its unique design of 1.75 inches to 2 inches and the hand-formed merge collector are responsible for this result, as they provide precise airflow performance. In terms of technology, the exhaust pipes are manufactured with aerospace-grade 304 stainless steel tubes, hand-welded and internally assembled 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 complete line of exhaust upgrades to unleash a wicked sound and produce even more power and torque. Is there anything better than upgrading your American V-twin engine with a USA-made exhaust?”
Just like with all Sawicki Speed exhaust setups, 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 setup can be further enhanced with optional stainless steel and carbon fiber heat shields sold separately.
Sawicki Speed offers their exhaust system in three finish options: hand-brushed stainless steel, black ceramic, or a polished chrome finish. Additionally, style pieces can be installed, such as a black billet end cap, aluminum, carbon fiber, or stainless steel. The new exhaust system is now available for order on Sawicki’s official website.
