 Final installation:
Clean grease spots:
a. Muffler – stainless steel outer sleeve: use a soft cloth sprayed with a multi-purpose spray lubricant (WD-
40 or equivalent).
b. Muffler - carbon-fiber outer sleeve: use a soft dry cloth.
c. Muffler – carbon-fiber outlet cap: use a soft dry cloth.
d. Stainless steel header pipe and Link pipe: use a soft cloth sprayed with a contact cleaner, then wipe
with a soft dry cloth.

Cleaning will prevent spots from burning onto the surface. Do not use aggressive chemical cleaners,
because they can damage the sticker.

WARNING: make sure all the bolts are sufficiently tightened. In case the exhaust system touches the
cowling or other parts repeat the adjustment of the exhaust system or contact your authorized dealer.

WARNING: check vehicle manufacturer manual for tightening torques (for dismounted stock parts)!

IT IS NORMAL IF WHITE SMOKE COMES OUT OF THE MUFFLER ON FIRST OPERATION.

DO NOT STAND BEHIND THE MUFFLER ON FIRST OPERATION.

DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE WHEEL CLEANERS OR ANY CLEANING PRODUCTS WHICH

CONTAIN ACIDIC ADDITIVES TO CLEAN AKRAPOVIČ EXHAUST SYSTEMS.

MAINTENANCE OF THE AKRAPOVIČ EXHAUST SYSTEM:

1. Clean the titanium exhaust components with a multi-purpose spray lubricant (WD-40 or equivalent),
carbon fiber exhaust components with soft and dry cloth and stainless steel components with soft cloth
sprayed with contact cleaner, then wipe with soft and dry cloth. A change in the color of the exhaust
system is normal due to the high temperatures.
2. Periodically make sure all the bolts and springs are sufficiently tight.

WARNING:

Please note that certain aftermarket exhaust systems may not comply with applicable California
laws and regulations, and may therefore be prohibited for use on California highways or roads, or
on roads or vehicles otherwise subject to emissions control requirements.
Akrapovič exhaust systems for automobiles and motorcycles mounted downstream of the catalytic
converter (also known as “cat-back systems”) are considered “replacement parts” in California by
the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and do not require an exemption or executive order
from CARB to be sold in California. However, California prohibits the use of any aftermarket exhaust
system that modifies, removes or replaces original equipment catalysts, unless CARB has issued
an Executive Order as to such part or system.
Further, Akrapovič parts or exhaust systems used or intended for use on “racing vehicles” (i.e.
a competition vehicle used exclusively for competition on closed-course circuits) do not require
an exemption or Executive Order from CARB to be sold in California. However, such parts are
prohibited from use on California public highways or roads, even if occasionally used “off-road.”
