The R&D SXR 2.250” High Flow Rear Exhaust Kit is a “Must Have” kit for better Holeshot and Top End Performance! The high flow kit is designed to be used with High Performance power adders like camshaft kits, and 14-1 Piston kits. the kit also comes complete with a guide fixture needed to cut and gut out the stock restrictive water box. R&D has chosen to modify the stock water box, and maintain the oem exhaust routing to keep water out of the engine in case there is that occasional tip over or rollover, your engine will not get “Swamped” with water that can be catastrophic! The R&D High Flow Exhaust Kit will add a great look and performance muscle sound to the SXR while maintaining a safe sound level under IJSBA and Coast Guard approved 86db. The kits exhaust outlet flange is available in four anodized colors, red, black, green, and clear. Specify color when ordering. 
NOTE: The R&D Kit is available in two performance options, One for Modified waterboxes, and one designed specifically for the stock waterbox where rules restrictions require stock water boxes (Like Limited or Superstock Classes).

The R&D Power Collector was developed to directly replace the low performance O.E.M. Kawasaki 4 into 2 into 1 Exhaust header collector with a modern “Racing Design” The R&D 4-1 Collector has a much larger area change and volume in the collector over the stock restrictive design. The headers primary tube lengths are changed to allow the header to work harder to better scavenge the cylinders exhaust pressures and gases. The R&D Power Collector design allows Higher Compression Ratio’s and Camshaft Kits to work to their Full Potential by getting rid of restrictions (allowing the engine to breathe), and having a Power Tuned design that will work hard to scavenge the cylinder as well as have a stronger and better tuned exhaust pressure wave timing.  significantly increasing and broadened the torque curve with greater RPM carry over, or over run. The R&D Collector will allow aggressive camshaft LSA packages to work like never before on the Kawasaki 1500 engine! If you plan on building an OPEN CLASS race engine with higher compression ratios, The Power Collector is 100% water jacketed and handcrafted using only the best stainless materials! Dyno Testing was performed by Factory Kawasaki on their Super Flow Dyno. Install the Power Collector on a ported head, with R&D camshafts, and a ported exhaust, and get 190-200 H.P. (50 HP over stock) R&D Also offers the Power Collector with V-Band Collared connectors for Turbo Charged Applications!

The “All New” R&D Kawasaki SX-R Aquavein Intake Grate Kit has been specifically designed and developed to deliver the ultimate handling and speed performance in recreational, offshore, and closed course race conditions. The R&D SX-R Aquavein will deliver super quick acceleration, higher top speed performance and a much smoother and more stable ride over the O.E.M. intake grate. Low speed and high-speed turns are a breeze with great control. The R&D design offers a smoother “recreational friendly” off throttle deceleration allowing a more comfortable and smoother ride. The secret to the R&D Aquavein’s hook up performance is in its patented, award winning, and championship winning wing and twin bar super deep channel design. The well proven R&D top loader Aquavein wing concept has been used exclusively by Factory Kawasaki to win countless National and World Championships for over 25 years! Bolt on a R&D Aquavein top loader intake grate and experience why R&D is the top selling intake system worldwide.

 R&D’s professionally tuned ECU programs offer raised RPM limit settings, advanced ignition timing, and re-calibrated fuel maps all custom tailored to give the Kawasaki SX-R a “wake-up call” with snappier throttle response, much quicker acceleration, stronger mid range pull, and also increases top end speed performance. The Ignition timing in each R&D reprogram is developed to safely maximize horsepower performance with specific fuel octane ratings. R&D strongly suggests that AFR tuning be periodically verified using AEM or Innovate Products also available from R&D. Send your ECU to R&D today and give your SX-R the ultimate BOOST in performance with R&D’s ECU reprogramming.
