Slip-On Exhaust Tips for Kawasaki ZZR1200 (2002-2005) Stainless

High-Flow Stainless GP Slip-On Exhaust Tips for 2002-2005 Kawasaki ZZR1200 (ZX1200-C)

What it Does: The GP slip-on exhaust tips replace the heavy, baffled stock mufflers on the 2002-2005 Kawasaki ZZR1200 to drop significant chassis weight and improve exhaust gas velocity with an aggressive open tone.

The Stock Kawasaki ZZR1200 Exhaust Restriction

Factory exhaust canisters on the ZX1200-C chassis are heavy, restrictive multi-chamber units designed to strictly limit decibel output at the expense of performance. These dual OEM silencers add over twenty pounds of unsprung dead weight to the rear subframe, trap thermal heat near the rear wheel assembly, and disrupt high-RPM pulse scavenging from the 1,164cc ZX1200CE inline-four power plant.

The Engineering Solution

Constructed from polished stainless steel, these shorty GP slip-on tips provide an unrestricted, straight-through exit for spent combustion gases. Measuring 10.5 inches in length with a 2.375-inch exit diameter, each tip weighs approximately 1.5 pounds, drastically reducing rear-end mass. Engineered specifically to slip over factory 1.95-inch to 2.0-inch (51 mm) outer diameter header pipes, they include high-torque barrel clamps to ensure an airtight mechanical seal. The baffle-free design increases flow rates and delivers an authoritative, race-inspired 105 dB exhaust note.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit the ZX1200-C ZZR1200?

Yes, this is a direct fit for the 2002-2005 Kawasaki ZZR1200 equipped with the ZX1200CE engine and factory collector pipes.

Is carburetor rejetting required after installing these slip-on tips?

Rejetting is suggested to optimize mid-range fuel delivery due to increased exhaust flow, but it is not strictly required for standard operation.
