Transform your KTM 990 ADVENTURER 2006-2013 with our premium ktm performance superbike exhausts, expertly engineered to deliver exceptional performance, weight reduction, and that distinctive deep exhaust note adventure riders crave. Manufactured in-house at Carbon Can Co Ltd using aerospace-grade materials and precision CNC mandrel bending techniques, this exhaust system represents the pinnacle of British engineering excellence for your adventure motorcycle.

Premium KTM Performance Superbike Exhausts for the 990 ADVENTURER

Our exhaust system for the KTM 990 ADVENTURER has been meticulously designed to provide a direct bolt-on replacement that fits seamlessly to your standard OEM downpipes. This means no complicated modifications, no cutting, and no welding required – simply remove your factory exhaust cans and install our high-performance system using the comprehensive fitting kit included with every purchase.

Each exhaust system comes complete with two stainless 304 CNC mandrel bent link pipes, engineered to optimise exhaust gas flow whilst maintaining perfect ground clearance for off-road adventures. The mandrel bending process ensures consistent internal diameter throughout each bend, eliminating the restrictions found in crush-bent alternatives and maximising exhaust gas velocity for improved throttle response and power delivery across the entire rev range.

What’s Included with Your KTM Performance Superbike Exhausts

We believe in providing everything you need for a professional installation. Your complete exhaust system includes:

• 2 x Stainless 304 CNC mandrel bent link pipes manufactured to exacting tolerances
• 2 x Stainless steel exhaust mounting straps for secure, vibration-free fitment
• 2 x High-quality exhaust strap rubbers to isolate vibration and protect your bodywork
• Comprehensive fitting instructions to guide you through the installation process
• Full technical support from our experienced team of motorcycle exhaust specialists

Engineering Excellence in KTM Performance Superbike Exhausts

The KTM 990 ADVENTURER is a formidable adventure tourer, and it deserves an exhaust system that matches its capability. Our ktm performance superbike exhausts utilise premium 304-grade stainless steel throughout, selected for its exceptional corrosion resistance, high-temperature performance, and longevity. This marine-grade material withstands the harshest conditions whether you’re touring through Scottish Highlands in the rain or exploring sun-baked trails in Southern Europe.

The CNC mandrel bending process we employ represents a significant technological advantage over conventional exhaust manufacturing. By maintaining consistent bore diameter through every curve, we eliminate turbulence and back-pressure that rob your engine of power. The result is improved mid-range torque delivery, crisper throttle response, and noticeable power gains at higher RPM – all whilst reducing overall system weight compared to the restrictive factory exhaust.

Weight reduction is particularly important for adventure motorcycles where every kilogram affects handling, fuel consumption, and rider fatigue on long journeys. Our exhaust system typically saves between 3-5 kilograms compared to standard equipment, with the weight saving positioned low and towards the rear of the motorcycle, actually improving handling characteristics and making the bike feel more agile through technical sections.

Sound Quality and Performance Benefits from KTM Performance Superbike Exhausts

Beyond the measurable performance improvements, our exhaust system delivers an intoxicating soundtrack that perfectly complements the KTM 990’s characterful LC8 V-twin engine. The deep, purposeful note enhances the riding experience without becoming intrusive on long motorway journeys, striking the perfect balance between performance and practicality that adventure riders demand.

We understand that many riders are concerned about sound regulations and maintaining neighbourly relations. Our ktm performance superbike exhausts are designed to provide excellent sound quality whilst remaining within reasonable sound limits for road use. The system can be further tailored with optional baffle inserts if required for specific track day noise limits or personal preference.

Installation and Compatibility

One of the key advantages of our exhaust system is the straightforward installation process. Designed to mate directly with your standard OEM downpipes, the system can typically be fitted in under an hour with basic hand tools. The included stainless steel mounting straps and high-quality rubber isolators ensure secure, rattle-free mounting that will withstand thousands of miles of adventure riding.

This exhaust system is fully compatible with all KTM 990 ADVENTURER models produced between 2006 and 2013, covering both standard and ‘R’ variants. The system has been test-fitted on multiple bikes to ensure perfect alignment and clearance with all bodywork, centre stands, and luggage mounting points.

Frequently Asked Questions About KTM Performance Superbike Exhausts

Will this exhaust require remapping?
Whilst the exhaust will function perfectly with standard mapping, we recommend consulting with a professional tuner to optimise fuel delivery and unlock the full performance potential. Most riders report noticeable improvements even without remapping, but a custom map tailored to your specific bike and riding style will deliver optimal results.

How does this compare to the factory exhaust?
Our system offers significant weight savings, improved exhaust gas flow, enhanced sound quality, and a more engaging riding experience. The performance gains are most noticeable in mid-range throttle response and top-end power delivery.

What maintenance is required?
304-grade stainless steel requires minimal maintenance. Occasional cleaning with appropriate stainless steel cleaner will maintain the appearance, and we recommend checking mounting hardware periodically, especially after off-road riding.
