- A video of the fitting of a Scorpion end can on my Kawasaki Z900. I wasn't expecting it to be any louder than standard but it is a lot louder and sounds fantastic. The video doesn't do it justice really.
Have the same one on my 1000sx but without the anodized coating, sounds perfect in gears 1 & 2.
Nice mate 👌
it's pretty amazing, great sound
Wonderful machine. This is the only slipon for the Z900 that sounds great. All the rest sound pretty much the same as stock. I have a '22 Z and am going to order one like yours. Cool that they're made in the UK. Any problems since you installed? Did you have an ECU reflash? Thanks for the video.
Hi mate thanks for the comment 👍 Yes I'm still enjoying the sound, and the exhaust looks great. My wife has a 2019 z900 with and Akrapovic slip on and it's no louder than stock but I think that's down to hers being euro 4. I haven't had any problems whatsoever since I installed it and there wasn't any need for an ECU flash as all I changed was the end can .
Nah SC Project and Bodis sounds great too. I own the SC Project CRT, made out of titanium.
Great video. I've got the other one, the Serket Taper I think it's called, and literally just the other day I also fitted the scorpion headers.
Hi mate, thanks for the comment 👍 I subscribed to your channel a couple of weeks ago keep up the good work 🙂🏍🏍
I have just purchased one.did you use any high temperature silicone for the joins when you assembled end can to link pipe.?they say to smear some round the joins!!!!
Yes mate I did 👍
Aup mate, great review. I have the same exhaust for my Ninja ZX4-RR. I noticed on mine the red ring moves when being revved, is the red ring supposed to move?
@CJ-ko6jb Aup 👋
Thanks for watching.
I don't have the Z900 anymore but I don't think mine moved.
Try not to look at it 😉
I don't care if it's louder, 2 mins later Oh you beauty ha ha. After watching your video I went & ordered one. A quick question, is there no clamp on the top of the connecting pipe ?
Nice one pal, yes the clamp is on top of the can (camera position could of been better) you get fitting instructions with it, it's quite easy to do.
Oh yeah you'll need some silicone exhaust sealant;

@@2wheelbikers311 What I meant was. There's no clamp on the link pipe to the silencer, it just slides together. Mine arrived yesterday but it's been too wet to fit it. In the instructions it doesn't tell you to add silicone to the said joint, Does it not leak ?
@LeeThomas-1 no clamp on the back of the link pipe to end can and I didn't use silicone on this part but the front of the link pipe that will slip into the original part of the exhaust will use the same clamp that held the original end can, this bit will leak so may need some sealant. Hope this helps.
Brilliant review!
Thank you 🙂
Thank you 2wheelbikers311😊👍
I have put a deposit down and am test riding one tomorrow. I’m 5ft 2.5 so am hoping the stretch forward won’t be too much for me, and I know it can be lowered. If I buy it I will be purchasing the scorpion slip on thanks to your video👍😊.
@josaunders2800 Hi mate, hope you're test ride went OK. Let us know what you think 👍
Great informative video👍😊
Thank you 🏍 👍
Bassy not too much loud perfect exhaust
Thank you. Yes I'm very happy with it. 👍🏍
Brilliant thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks
Hi, I have a weird question: What about heat? Does it affect on your boots? I don't see any thermo cover, so does it melt bottom of the shoe? ;)
Hi. I don't seem to have much of a problem with it although I have had to polish that part up once where my boot has been on it but I have done a lot of miles now with this on so I wouldn't say it was too much of a problem 🙂
Mate what's the inner diameter on the exhause on z900 is it 53mm just am thinking of putting different endcan on
Sorry I mean 51mm
Not sure mate, I have the 2020 and Tracey has the 2019 model and they are different end cans, my end can fits inside the pipe on the silencer box and Traceys goes over it. I can't give you any measurements as I don't know off hand sorry, I would just order the correct year end can as they are different fittings
Thanks mate
Do you know if this slip on will fit a 2023 Z900 (US model)? I can't tell if anything has changed from prior years. I don't want to fool with a full exhaust system, but just a slip on because the OEM is really fugly and huge. I like the way this one looks and sounds. Thanks.
Hi, I'm not too sure and wouldn't like to guess as mine is euro5 compliant and the US model may be different, you could always drop them an email as I'm sure they would be more than willing to help;

@@2wheelbikers311 Thanks for the reply. Ride safe, my English bro. 🤙🏻
@Richie Rich no problem buddy, these are excellent quality, i can definitely recommend them, hope you get sorted. Stay safe 👍🏍🏍
@@2wheelbikers311 I spoke with two dealers and they both confirmed there have been no exhaust changes for model years 2017-2023 Z900 for the US Model.
@Richie Rich That's good. My wife has a 2019 z900 and mine is a 2020 model and they are a completely different fitting, hers is euro4 and mine is euro5. I suppose you don't have any of those restrictions in the US. 🏍🏍
Did you put heat resistant silicone in the joints when fitting
Hi, yes, the fitting instructions say to use clear silicone and that's all it says, but I would recommend a heat resistant silicone such as this one;

Nice video! And nice music at the end also. What is the name of the song?
Thank you, the music at the end is called Modern Metal by Black Rhomb and it is from Shutterstock royalty free music
awesome
Hi, after fixing the scorpion red power, I can feel the exhaust air s leaking at the bread box , is that normal for an after market exhaust?
Did you use any sealant?
@@2wheelbikers311 no I I didn’t used any. In the instructions - they advised to use clear silicone i believe. Will try it trow and update u. Meanwhile which sealant u recommend to arrest this leak
@edwinraj5824 Just get a clear silicone exhaust sealant such as this; pipewerx.co.uk/webshop/exhaust-accessories/wurth-clear-silicone-exhaust-sealant/
@@2wheelbikers311 thank u.
Hi, what’s the main difference between the serket model and red power, which one do u recommend among these two models
Hi, I've checked the website, and the Serket Taper one requires removing a factory emissions control device so there could be some cutting involved (this is on the 2020 onwards model which is euro5 spec). The red power slip on is just a straight swap for the standard can that is on the bike. Hardly any difference in horsepower gains between the two. So it just depends on which one you like the look of and which is easier to fit. If you get the Red Power one you can easily put the original exhaust back on when you sell the bike and sell the scorpion end can. I preferred the look of the Red Power one. Hope this helps.

@@2wheelbikers311 thank u very much for the detailed clarification. My bike delivery will be by end of February. I will go with red power slipon.
@@EdwinRaj5700 nice one pal, stay safe 👍 🏍
Cut that bread box it will sound amazing
Hi, is your bike a 2020 or 2021 model? :)
Hi, its a 2020👍
Just bought the same one how the heck does the heat shield attach?
Hi Darren, I did post a detailed reply while I was in the garage but it seems to have disappeared (thanks youtube). I know if you follow how it says in the instructions it doesn't seem right but that bracket that bolts to the heatshield rests on the other bracket that is welded on the exhaust box to stop it falling down. If I could send photos I would. Let me know how you get on. Cheers.
@@2wheelbikers311 sorted now cheers, couldn’t get my head around the bracket at first the instructions I was provided with didn’t explain how to fit the heat shield just how to assemble the parts of the exhaust
@@darrensims8399 nice one 👍
Nice Sound Good🤝I keep on My org. akrapovic But I Put streight Pipe And sound Is Nice aswell 👌
看了你的视频 我订购了一个 谢谢！
Where are you based?
Hi Tony were in Nottingham
Sir how to order
Hi I ordered direct from Scorpion
www.scorpion-exhausts.com/
Should have saved your money, same sound without slip on
Original exhaust looked absolute shite in my opinion but sounded quite good compared to the standard can on the 2019 (euro 4). The Scorpion can was slightly louder (didn't want a loud exhaust) but improved the look of the bike massively in my opinion so was worth it for me👍
De todos los escapes q escuché en la z900 el mejor es el SC PROYECT
Sí, el SC project es un escape de gran sonido. 👌
